This math topic focuses on teaching foundational skills in comparing quantities using visual cues associated with the concept of "Less Than or Greater Than with Alligators." Students learn to determine whether one group of objects is greater than, less than, or equal to another by deciding in which direction an alligator, used metaphorically to represent the inequality signs, would face to "eat" the larger group. The problems are presented as picture comparisons, and multiple-answer choices are given for students to select the correct direction the alligator is facing. This topic is part of a larger unit on introductory coin math comparison.
