Video Game Exploration #3: Less Than or Greater Than

Another game from education.com, called Less Than or Greater Than, challenges players in identifying between less than and greater than numbers 1-20. The setting of the game takes place in a pond. There are vibrant colors and sounds to attract the kids and keep them engaged. As you can see pictured below, the alligators mouth acts as a greater, less than, or equal to sign. There are two lily pads on each side of the alligator with numbers sitting on top of them. Students will choose which mouth is pointing towards the larger of two numbers. This game works number sense with two-digit numbers.

This game is focused towards the 1st grade level. I think this is an appropriate game for that age as it is easy to navigate, and acts as great practice for young students.

  1. Mlyssa,

    I researched this website as well. I believe that education.com has many different educational games that will benefit student learning. My favorite thing about this website was that it includes the standards that go along with each game so if you’re working on a certain standard throughout your lesson, you can easily match it with a game on this website for practice. I also like that you can select different subjects and grade levels and the website filters your requests for you before giving you games. This way, you can select exactly what you want instead of having to search for the game you are looking for. I would definitely use this website in my classroom. Great blog post!
