Monster Squeeze!

My students LOVE monster squeeze!  It is a game we play on our classroom iPad to help students with identifying greater and less than numbers.  The game has a mystery number (1-10) and the students get to guess what it is.  The monster squeezes the number until they find the correct mystery number.  Before we had our iPad, I made two little monsters out of construction paper and drew a number line on the board.  The nice thing about playing it on the board is that we can use higher numbers.  Then I moved the 2 monsters (which they named Purplish and Nightmare) based on their guesses.  My students love this game so much that they even ask to play it during inside recess!
