The intended purpose of this document is to provide teachers with a tool to determine student understanding and suggest instructional moves that may help guide a student forward in their learning. It is not an exhaustive list of strategies.
The Family Letter is intended to be sent home at the beginning of the cluster. It explains big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Family Letter.

This lesson focuses on comparing sets and numerals using terms greater than, less than, and equal to. The main goal is for students to generate their own sets to compare to a given set.

Students compare two sets of objects using matching and counting strategies. The sets of objects are compared using the language "greater than", "less than" or "equal to".
This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers."Launch, Explore, Discuss" is a research-based lesson framework where students grapple with a task and then come together to share strategies used. The introduction of new strategies is delayed until after grappling. This is the primary lesson framework for the Tools4Teachers lessons. This resource serves as a professional development tool, explaining the benefits of this lesson framework and outlining each component.

In this lesson, students will identify whether a quantity of objects in one group is greater than, less than or equal to a quantity of objects in another group. Students will use one-to-one correspondence (or other counting strategies) to answer the question: How many are in one group?

In this lesson, students compare sets and make equal sets. The lesson should be facilitated at the beginning of a unit on comparing sets once students have been exposed to comparison vocabulary (more, less, greater, fewer).
Lesson may be repeated with amounts closer in range, making it trickier to compare (i.e., 8 & 10).

In this lesson, students will identify the number of objects in a group as greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, for numbers 1-5. Students will understand the relationship between number labels (such as "4" naming a collection of four) and quantities. They will understand that counting by ones increases the quantity by one more.

Students use conceptual subitizing while playing a comparison card game called Battle.
Notes:
Perceptual subitizing: instantly recognizing "how many" in a set
Conceptual subitizing: efficiently finding "how many" by recognizing and combining subgroups within a set.

Prior to this lesson students should have had experiences comparing sets of objects.
The goal of this lesson is to bridge standards CC.6 and MD.2 by comparing sets using measurement concepts and vocabulary.
The purpose of this task is for students to explain how they know one quantity is greater or less than another quantity. Students will easily be able to identify which number is greater or less. However, explaining their reasoning will help them solidify their number sense skills.
