Coin Math - Less or Greater to Alligator - Nickels (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on comparing the value of nickels in different groups and deciding which group has a greater or lesser value. The problems use the metaphor of an alligator that will "eat" the group of coins with the greater value, involving directional choices (which way the alligator should face) based on the comparison of nickel quantities. It helps in developing students' understanding of coin values, comparison, and greater-than or less-than concepts. This is introduced as a fun and interactive way for children to practice basic math skills involving money.
