🐊 Make comparing numbers clear, memorable and fun!
Help your Year 2 learners confidently use the greater than (>), less than (<) and equal to (=) symbols with this carefully differentiated worksheet set.
Using the memorable idea that the crocodile eats the larger number, children compare pairs of numbers before progressing to open-ended number sentences that require deeper mathematical thinking.
With three clearly differentiated levels, it is easy to select the right amount of support or challenge for every learner.
✨ What’s included?
3 differentiated student worksheets
3 complete answer sheets
58 carefully sequenced comparison tasks
Practice using >, < and =
