Identify quantities that are less than, greater than and equal to (up to 20)

Summary: Students roll a die and record the number on their whiteboard. Then, take that many unifix and build a little tower. Stand the tower up next to the number they recorded on the whiteboard. After some time has elapsed, stop the students and ask them to make statements about their towers, using vocabulary such as: more, less, most, least, greater than, less than, equal, same. E.g. “6 is more than 2. My tower with 9 has the most blocks. These two towers both have 5 so they are equal.”
