This math topic focuses on comparing the total value of dimes represented in two groups. Learners are tasked with determining the direction an alligator would face to "eat" the group of coins with the greater value. The concept leverages a fun and engaging alligator graphic metaphor, where the alligator's mouth points towards the larger quantity, reinforcing understanding of greater-than and less-than comparisons with coin values. This is aimed at developing practical skills in financial literacy and mathematical reasoning through visual aids and relatable contexts.
