• Place these letters and number values into a key, so that students can find the number they will be using to complete the operation.

A = 1 F = 2 L = 3 X = 5

• Set up practice sheets, and license plates (index cards) for students to work with.

•Demonstrate to students how to use license plates and key to solve.

Name:_______________________________________________ Date: ______________________Directions: Look at the license plates. Take the letters in the license place and find the

corresponding number in the key below. Each letter represents a corresponding number. .

Example: AEX = 123

A=1 B=1 C=1 D=2 E=2 F=2 G=3 H=3 I=3 J=4 K=4 L=4 M=5=

N=5= O=5 P=1 Q=1 R=1 S=2 T=2 U=2 V=3 W=3 X=3 Y=4 Z=4

KEY:

Directions: compare the values of the numbers. Greater than/less than/ equal to
