Greater or Less Than Number Sort Task Box 1-100

About this resource

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 22 pages, 151 type-in fields

• 72 two-numeral cards across 3 levels (26 rounds: 12 rounds of 2 cards, 8 rounds of 3 cards, 6 rounds of 4 cards), every card two plain CSS digit tiles, left number then right number, sorted into a ">" bin or a "<" bin by which one is bigger — numbers drawn from across the full 1-100 range, not just the teens
• Every card twice: accent-colored tiles for a laminated classroom box and black-on-white ink-saver tiles for the photocopier — plain printed numerals, no picture library either way
• A two-bin sort mat (color and ink-saver), ">" and "<", each with a plain-language subtitle ("the number on the LEFT is bigger" / "the number on the LEFT is smaller") and six card-sized slots
• An answer key listing every round by level, every card written out left number, symbol, right number
• A task box data sheet (16 rows: date, level, rounds given, cards correct, cards given, percent, help given, initials)
• A percent graph, 14 sessions across, with a level box under each session
• A filled example — an invented student, 8 sessions, every percent re-counted from its own row
• A family practice page with six of the same pairs and the two bins
• A phrase bank: spoken lines for running the box and written starters for the note afterward, in 6 groups
• Start Here, a contents page with page thumbnails, and a "what's next" back page

The same comparison sort as the collection's 1-20 box, stretched across the full hundred-number range: Level 1 pairs are now at least 25 apart instead of 5, Level 2 pairs are drawn from the whole range instead of being capped at 20, and Level 3's one-apart pairs sit in eleven different decades instead of one, so a student cannot sort by which decade a number lives in. The relation is never printed on the card, only on the mat's bin headers, so the child has to read both numerals every time.

Three Levels, Each Testing Something Different

• Level 1 — 12 rounds, 2 cards each. Numbers from across the 1-99 range, every pair at least 25 apart, obviously bigger or smaller at a glance even at this scale.
• Level 2 — 8 rounds, 3 cards each. The full 1-99 range, every pair 5 to 15 apart — close enough that a glance is not reliable, a quick count settles it.
• Level 3 — 6 rounds, 4 cards each, cut as a 2x2 block. Every pair is exactly one apart (for example 24 and 23, 45 and 46) — the closest comparison this range allows, drawn from eleven different decades across the box instead of one, so every card takes reading both numbers, never a glance.

Nothing on a card says its level or its bin except a dot code in the corner (one, two or three dots), so a mixed-up box sorts itself back together.

NO PICTURES, ON PURPOSE — every numeral on every page is plain printed text, drawn the same way in both the color set and the ink-saver set. There is no picture library to run out of and no image to misread; the only thing a child reads is two numbers.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the data sheet, the graph header, the family page and the example-style notes, or print and use a pen. The card pages and sort mat print on cardstock or plain paper and cut along dashed lines. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a test of anything.

It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule, and it does not decide what a percent means for a student or when to move up a level. The goal line and the criterion field are blanks for your district's own wording and your team's own number. It measures one thing: cards placed in the correct bin.

Who This Is For

Special education teachers and paraprofessionals running independent work stations or task box rotations with students who are ready to compare numbers beyond 20, case managers who need that practice to show up as data, and the families who get the practice page sent home.

More In The Collection

This is one set in the Task Box Collection; more sort, counting and sequencing boxes are being added to the collection regularly, all on the same cards-plus-data shape.
