The table in front of you has a pile of 4 cookies and a pile of 2 cookies. They smell soooo good, and you are soooo hungry.

  • Which pile would you take? Why?

Most people would want the 4 cookies because 4 cookies are more, or greater than, 2 cookies.

  • Did you pick the pile with more cookies?

A very hungry alligator will also always pick the pile with more cookies, too!

Listen to the song in the video below to see that alligator in action!
