KSP Математика 6 grade: Сравнение чисел

Introduction

This Grade 6 Mathematics lesson plan on “Comparing Numbers” helps teachers teach students to determine which number is greater or smaller, use comparison signs, and apply knowledge in problem solving.

Main material

Lesson objective: to develop the skill of comparing numbers and using it in calculations and practical tasks.

Expected outcomes:

students distinguish greater and smaller numbers;
use signs >, <, =;
compare positive and negative numbers;
apply comparison in practical situations.

Lesson structure:

Organization
Greeting.
Prior knowledge
Review number line, positive and negative numbers.
New topic
Comparison signs: > (greater), < (less), = (equal)
Positive numbers: number to the right is greater
Negative numbers: closer to zero is greater
Examples: 5 > 3, -2 > -5, 0 < 4
Practice
Compare: 7 and 4, -3 and -6, 0 and -2
Write results with comparison signs
Practical problem: morning temperature -5°C, daytime +2°C. Compare temperatures
Consolidation
Pair work: check solutions, discuss errors.
Reflection
Discuss applications (temperature, finance, water levels).
Conclusion
Summary, brief feedback, mention results (5–10%).

Teaching methods: explanation, practical work, pair work, visualization, discussion.
