Original Prompt

Create a math comparison worksheet, using the alligator to show the symbols of greater than, less then, and equal to. Make 6 space for comparison statments for students to fill in

This resource introduces students to the concept of comparing numbers using a playful metaphor of a hungry alligator. The alligator always opens its mouth towards the larger number, represented by the symbols '>', '<', and '='. The document encourages partner collaboration where one student, the Speaker, explains which number is larger, while the other, the Writer, draws the appropriate symbol. Students engage in two rounds of practice, comparing whole numbers and decimals, using structured dialogue to enhance learning. The exercises are designed to build understanding of numerical comparison through interactive, peer-led discussions.
