Choose the smallest and largest number.

The three Power Points presented help children to learn to identify between the smallest and largest numbers by means of pictorial images. The rest of the slides lead children to compare numbers without pictorial images and more abstract thinking is involved. A number line is presented in all slides. Three Handouts are also included so children can think and select the smallest and largest numbers.

• Power Point – To help students identify the smallest number. In the first slides, there are only pictures to compare (Which picture is the smallest and which one is the largest). In the next slides, children are helped to compare numbers by visualizing the value of each number presented by means of pictures. There is also a number line to help children compare numbers. In the last slides there are only numbers and a number line and children have to select the smallest number. Numbers used from 1 to 10.
• Power Point - To help students identify the largest number. In the first slides, there are only pictures to compare (Which picture is the smallest and which one is the largest). In the next slides, children are helped to compare numbers by visualizing the value of each number presented by means of pictures. There is also a number line to help children compare numbers. In the last slides there are only numbers and a number line and children have to select the largest number. Numbers used from 1 to 10.
• Power Point – In this Power Point there are only numbers to compare and a number line to help students compare better. Children are sometimes asked to select the largest number and sometimes they are asked to choose the smallest number. Numbers used from 1 to 20.
• Handout 1 - Colour the largest number (Numbers used from 1 to 10)
• Handout 2 – Colour the smallest number (Numbers used from 1 to 12)
