Comparing amounts is a big kindergarten idea: does this group have more, fewer, or the same as that one? On this page your child counts two groups of pictures, writes how many are in each, and circles the group with more, then the group with fewer. A short last task compares written numbers with no pictures at all. Moving from pictures to numerals is the point: children learn that the number they write tells them which group is bigger, so they do not have to line up objects every time.
Common Core K.CC.C.6: Comparing two groups to see which has more, fewer, or the same
Common Core K.CC.C.7: Deciding which of two written numbers up to 10 is bigger
Short descriptions in our own words. About our standards.
Have your child touch each picture while counting and write the number right away. If two groups look close, line up counters in two rows, one row for each group, and see which row is longer. Many children mix up more and fewer, partly because they rarely hear the word fewer. You can say: fewer means not as many. Everyday speech often uses less, and that is fine to mention too.
Easier: Use only the first part and real objects: build both groups with blocks before your child looks at the pictures, and keep the numbers to 5.
Harder: Ask how many more the bigger group has in each row, or have your child draw a third group that has the same number as one of the others.
It is made for Kindergarten (ages 5-6). The level is ★ easy, so it works well as a first practice page.
About 15 minutes. Young children can do it in two short sittings with a break in between.
