Kindergarten math · Unit 6: Teen numbers and the number line

Farther right is greater

What this lesson shows

17 and 19 on the same line. 19 is farther right, so 19 is greater than 17.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 17 and 19. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Find both numbers
  2. Which is farther right?
  3. That one is greater
  4. Say it in words

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Your kid finds both numbers on the line and circles the one farther to the right. Say it in words: "15 is greater than 12."

If your kid gets stuck

Farther to the right is greater.
