Lesson Plan by Whitley Starnes
Lesson: Compare and Arrange Whole Numbers up to 100 in
Numerical Order
Length:
30-40 minutes
Age or Grade Level Intended:
Second Grade
Academic Standard:
2.1.5 Compare whole numbers up to 100 and arrange them in numerical order. (Core
Standard)
Performance Objectives:
When given whole numbers up to 100 in random order, the second grade students will
arrange the whole numbers in numerical order with 100% accuracy.
When given two whole numbers from 0 to 100, the second grade students will compare
the two whole numbers using the phrases “greater than” or “less than” with 100%
accuracy.
Assessment:
To assess whether or not the second grade students are able to arrange whole numbers up
to 100 in numerical order, I plan to give the students a number grid that shows all the
whole numbers up to 100, but in random order. Then, I will have the students cut out
each whole number and paste each whole number in numerical order on a blank number
grid.
To assess whether or not the second grade students are able to compare whole numbers
from 0 to 100, I plan to have the students verbally compare ten sets of two whole
numbers that I will show on flashcards. The students’ verbal response to me should
include one of these phrases:
___ is greater than ___.
(25 is greater than 15.)
___ is less than ___.
(30 is less than 55.)
