Less Than or Greater Than with Alligators - Number Comparison to Alligator

Level 1

This topic involves practicing number comparison skills. Specifically, the concept of "less than" or "greater than" is illustrated using the metaphor of an alligator choosing to eat the larger number. Throughout multiple questions, students are asked to determine the direction in which the alligator should face to "eat" the greater number among a pair presented. This allows students to reinforce their understanding of inequality symbols and number comparison in a visually engaging manner. Additionally, the alligator metaphor makes the concept more tangible for beginner learners.
