SPEEDY SIGN SLAPPING
place value · comparing digits with symbols
To compare digits using the symbols greater than (>), less than (<) and equal to (=) [1.NBT.B.3].
SPEEDY SIGN SLAPPING is a Grade 1 comparison game for using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. Both players flip a card at the same time, compare the two values, and race to slap the symbol that correctly describes Player 1’s card in relation to Player 2’s. The quick response format keeps the comparison language tied directly to two visible numbers.
Use it for partner practice when students are learning to compare single-digit values and connect spoken comparisons with symbols. Ask students to read the full comparison aloud after each round so the symbol has meaning beyond a visual cue.
