DESCRIPTION

I played this game with my students to get them moving and thinking at the same time. Students were comparing numbers to zero, comparing to -15, and comparing to 4. We then used the symbols for greater than and less than to compare integers. Lastly we compared a list of integers to put them in order from least to greatest.

TRANSCRIPT

HIGH - LOWDIRECTIONS: Students will raise their left or right

hand to demonstrate their understanding of positive and negative integers.

If the number is negative raise your left handIf the number is positive raise your right hand

So you can tell me when a number is greater than 0 or

less than 0. Can you do this?
