Using Number Balances http://nrich.maths.org/4725 More Than- Less Than- Equal: Student A picks a number card and places a weight on his/her side of the balance. Student B picks a number card from the deck and places a weight on his/her side of the balance. What happened? Record the discoveries on the recording sheet. (Ex: 4 is more than 3; 6 is less than 9). NOTE: Only after many experiences with the language of “more than” and “less than” are the symbols (< >) introduced and used. Variation: Students pick two number cards: Ex: 2 and 5 is more than 3 and 1. 2008 DPI Primary Team Located at: http://ncctmbalances.wikispaces.com/
