This math topic focuses on comparing quantities using base 10 blocks. It encourages students to determine which set of blocks is greater or lesser by deciding the direction an "alligator" (representing the greater than and less than signs) would face to "eat" the larger quantity. The problems cover early number sense and comparison skills, reinforcing understanding of the "less than" and "greater than" concepts using visual block representations. This includes comparing single and possibly double-digit numbers through pictorial base 10 block representation.
