4.NBT.2 "Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons." This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by using a smaller deck of cards. The game can first be mastered by using only the black cards (positive numbers). Once the student(s) is comfortable with the concept of the game with the positive numbers, the negative numbers (red cards) can be introduced. This activity can be used for younger ages by working with only the black cards, and modeling proper mathematical words, such as "greater than" and "less than".

Can create several types of boards using different equations to help differentiate with various students
