[SCORE!] a comparison game

It's spring soccer season around these parts, and my littles LOVE soccer.
When I saw the adorable soccer player (football!) from Cre8tive Hands, I knew I had to use him to make a fun game for my class!!

My boys, especially, are going to LOVE this one!
Comparisons are proving to be a little tricky for my class.  I'm hoping that this game gives us a good understanding of the symbols.

Each player chooses a "goal" (greater than or less than).
Players take turns choosing a card from the deck.  They work together to figure out the correct comparison (see the built in scaffolding?!  Brilliant, no?!).  The card is placed in the goal that matches the comparison.  EQUAL cards are placed in the center of the field.
When a soccer boy card is chosen, the player that chose that card gets to take ALL of the equal cards from the center and put them in his goal!
Winner is the player with the most GOALS!
I think they're going to eat this up!!

Those of you poor souls (like me, lol) who don't print in color, the black and white version is HERE!!  :)

Take it, love it, print it, pin it, COMMENT on it!
I'm hoping for a much better day today (although I'm being observed AGAIN! - 3rd time in less than a week!!!).
And tonight I simply must finish my math mid-term.
I must.
It's due tomorrow.
Have a great day!!

[Hippity-Hop Comparisons]

Congratulations, Brittany!  Random.Luke (aka my sweet husband, lol) chose comment #8.  I've emailed the file.  Come back tomorrow for another chance to win a fun true/false math game.  :)

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend!
We enjoyed lots of sunshine and outside playtime.
I enjoyed being spoiled rotten by my husband who so lovingly spent his ENTIRE bonus on a brand new camera/lens/bag for me.  :)
I've been playing with it this weekend and am L.O.V.I.N.G my new toy!
As he would say, I'm not spoiled, I'm well loved. LOL.

Tomorrow it's (kind of) back to the grind.
We have a district training with Anita Archer in the morning and the afternoon is a school directed PLC.

I have a grundle of activities to prep for my littles for the coming weeks.
I'm really excited about this one!
First off - how can you not love these a.dor.a.ble bunnies from Alice Smith for DigiWebStudio?!
Secondly - comparisons cutesified?!  Heck yeah!

Meets CCSS: 1.NBT.3 – Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of the comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.
