![]() ![]() Matics is a quick paced and fun 2-player game for all ages. You will need to make at least two – one for greater than and one for less than. These are super easy to make (just cut and paste) and easily make a fun craft to go along with your math activities. How to Make Your Greater Than/Less Than Alligators: You can also find an adorable worksheet packet over at The Littlest Scholars. Some ideas of manipulatives that can be used: For my kids the Matic cards were by far their favorite. While the “greater than” and “less than” alligator has been around since before I was a kid, a game such as this allows your child to choose what they want to use. When the numbers are the same, he can’t decide which one to eat and closes his mouth, which makes the equals sign. ![]() His mouth opens toward the bigger number. I taught my kids that the alligator is starving and always wants to eat the bigger number. If you use hands-on materials such as pom-poms or the Matic Cards, it can easily be used with preschoolers. My own kids enjoyed using the alligator concept to learn about equal to, greater than, and less than. You can also use it as a way to check and reinforce your child’s understanding of numbers before kindergarten. It can be a fun way to refresh knowledge before the beginning of the school year, and it works well any time during the school year, too. ![]() The Equal, Less, and Greater than math activity is one that can be used for a number of different levels. I received this product for the purpose of this review. ![]()
