More Then Less Then Math

The children have come into First Grade knowing a lot of math. We worked on more then and less then terms to compare numbers. We discussed how greater then is the same as more then. Also, fewer then is the same as less then. We used cubes to help show our thinking.
"These are the same number."

"If you have three, it is more then two."

"Five is greater then three."

"I love math."

"I noticed the cubes connect and that helps me keep track of the numbers."
