Today was my last day of school!!! Let summer begin! 😉
Of course, back to school will be on my brain 24/7. I can’t help it! Am I the only one!?
Last night I whipped up a fun craftivity that I’ve wanted to make for three years but never did. It’s a greater than/less than alligator! Whenever I teach number comparison, I always have my kiddos imagine an alligator munching on big numbers!
This craftivity is *double sided* so your little ones can flip the alligator back and forth to help them visualize the greater than/less than concept.
Here’s what’s inside:
*alligator pattern {both with and without words}, pictures, & directions
*greater than, less than, & equal to cards for center work
*number cards 0-20 for center work
*3 posters: greater than, less than, & equal to
*greater than, less than, & equal to cards for center work
*number cards 0-20 for center work
*3 posters: greater than, less than, & equal to
You can pick up alligator, alligator {a greater than/less than craftivity} in my TpT shop!
As always, please let me know what you think. I hope you love!!
And now it’s time to blog stalk… 🙂
This is so AWESOME! I love it. I am definitely snatching this up and using it this coming year! What a great way to bring some extra pizzaz to math.

This is so cute! When I used to be able to teach the greater than/less than I did the alligator. Now, the signs cannot be introduced until 2nd grade…but I still love this.
You have good news coming your way soon! =)

I love your alligators – and need them badly for my 2nd graders. Are they hard to make once I buy the pattern? I'm not crafty!!

I consider you’ve created some genuinely exciting points. Not too most people would in reality consider about this the way you simply did. I’m really impressed that there’s a lot about this topic that’s been uncovered and you also did it so tremendously, with a lot class.
