BANANA SPLIT
place value · comparing and ordering numbers to 10
To compare numbers up to 10 and put them in order [1.NBT.B.3].
BANANA SPLIT is a Grade 1 place value game for comparing and ordering numbers to 10. Players draw number cards and arrange them in ascending order, turning a basic comparison task into an ongoing sequence-building challenge. Students repeatedly decide where a new number belongs and how it relates to the numbers already played.
Use it for partner or small-group work when students are learning the language of greater than, less than, and order. You can listen for whether students are relying on counting, number sequence knowledge, or direct comparison as they place each card.
