The Quantile® Framework for Mathematics, developed by educational measurement and research organization MetaMetrics®, comprises more than 500 skills and concepts (called QTaxons) taught from kindergarten through high school. The Quantile Framework depicts the developmental nature of mathematics and the connections between mathematics content across the strands. By matching a student’s Quantile measure with the Quantile measure of a mathematical skill or concept, you can determine if the student is ready to learn that skill, needs to learn supporting concepts first, or has already learned it.

Teacher note: The students will compare two numbers and determine whether the numbers are greater than, less than, or equal to each other. Group size: whole class divided into 2 groups Materials: symbol cards, page 33; index cards; bucket or bag; tape Before class: Make two copies of the symbol cards, page 33, laminate, and cut them out. Directions prior to the start of the game: • Give each student an index card, and have him/her write a number on it between 0 and 9,999. • Have the students place all of the cards with the numbers in a bucket at the front of the room, and mix up the numbers well. • Place one set of symbol cards on the chalk tray at either end of the board. Directions for play: • The students will form two groups on opposite sides of the classroom. • The first student from each group will come to the front, draw a number, and tape it to the center of the board. Then these two students will return to the end of their line. • The next two students, one from each side, will run to the front and pick up either the , or = sign, whichever sign appropriately states the inequality (or possibly equality). • The teacher will decide who arrived first and ask him/her to read the completed number sentence. The other students will decide if he/she is correct. If both the sign and stated sentence are correct, then that group receives 1 point. If either the sign or the statement is incorrect, then that group will not receive a point. • These 2 students will then each draw a card and tape it to the board in the center. Play continues in the same manner until all cards are used. Example: Katie drew the number 454. Bobbie drew the number 649.
454
649
Raquel gets to the board before Alice and picks up the < symbol. The teacher acknowledges that she arrived first and asks her to read the completed number sentence. Raquel says, “Four hundred and fifty-four is less than six hundred and forty-nine.” The class agrees, and her group receives a point.
