THE GREATER GUESSER
place value · guessing and comparing two-digit numbers
To compare numbers using the symbols greater than (>), less than (<) and equal to (=) [1.NBT.B.3].
THE GREATER GUESSER is a Grade 1 place-value game where one student secretly builds a two-digit number and the other players try to identify it through comparison clues. Guessers can ask whether their number is greater than, less than, or equal to the hidden value, gradually narrowing the possibilities until someone finds the number.
Use it in a small group when students are learning comparison symbols and two-digit magnitude. The repeated clue cycle gives greater than, less than, and equal to a practical purpose.
