Lesson 19

Compare Numbers and Images

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to compare groups of images and numbers 1-10.

In this lesson, students have the support of images given with each number. Students may use the images to help them compare, or they may use the count sequence and their understanding that each successive number represents a quantity of 1 more.
