More than, less than, equals to; Comparing Quantities, Capacity & Weight Bundle

This more than, less than and equal to BUNDLE math teaching unit is a comprehensive pack (405 pages) that includes everything a teacher needs to teach, reinforce, and practice the concept of comparing quantities (more than-less than-equals to), comparing weight (heavier-lighter), and comparing capacity (holds more-holds less). This more than, less than, equal to bundle pack offers tools for hands on learning: posters, direct comparison mats, worksheets, and center activities to cater to different learning styles.
