Let’s Compare Numbers 0 to 40!
What do you already know about comparing numbers?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will be able to compare numbers from 0 to 40 and say which number is bigger or smaller.
What do you already know?
Do you know how to see which number is bigger or smaller? Let’s find out together!
Key Words
Bigger, Smaller, More, Less, Compare, Number
Why Compare Numbers?
We compare numbers to know which is greater, less or equal. We use this in real life every day!

The Number Line
A number line helps us see which numbers come before or after. 0 is the smallest, 40 is the largest here.
Let’s Practise Comparing
Look at these numbers: 7 and 11. Which is bigger? Which is smaller?
Comparing Symbols
">" Means More
When we write 12 > 9, it means 12 is more than 9.
When we write 5 < 8, it means 5 is less than 8.
"<" Means Less
Alligator Rule
The ‘alligator’ always eats the bigger number!
Comparing in Real Life
When we share sweets, we compare who got more or less. Can you think of more examples?
Let’s Try Together
Find the Smaller Number
Find the Bigger Number
Which is bigger: 18 or 22? Use the number line to help.
Which is smaller: 31 or 29? Can you show with your fingers?
Class Activity: Number Match
Low Achievers: Connect numbers to show which is bigger or smaller using cards 1 to 10.
Class Activity: More Numbers
Average Achievers: Compare numbers up to 30 and use symbols <, > to show which is greater or less.
Challenge Activity!
High Achievers: Compare numbers up to 40. Use number cards and write < or >.
For Gifted & Talented
Create your own number comparison story using numbers up to 40.
For Additional Learning Needs
Use a number line to compare numbers up to 10. Use objects for counting if needed.
Let’s Practise Together!
Which number is greater: 36 or 24? Show with your hands or draw on your board.
Check Your Progress
Did you find it easy to use < and >? Can you show your answer to a friend or your teacher?
Review: What Did We Learn?
We learned to compare numbers using symbols, number lines, and real life examples.
Next Time
We will use what we have learnt to solve story problems about numbers. Well done!
