Activity
In pairs, have each student pick up a handful of beans and, before counting them, say how many they think they have. Each student then counts their partner’s beans. They compare who has got more and who has got less by lining up the beans side by side. Record the students’ comparison stories on the board or in the modelling book – for example, “Brian had eight beans, and Margaret had six beans. Brian had more beans than Margaret.”
