What it is
Comparing means deciding which group has more, which has fewer, or if they are the same. Kindergartners compare by matching things up one to one and by counting. They also compare written numbers from 1 to 10.
What comes next
Number bonds to 5 and 10.
How to teach it
- Line two groups up side by side. The group with extras left over has more.
- Use the words more, fewer and the same during play, like "Who has more blocks?"
- Count both groups, then compare the numbers. The number that comes later when counting is bigger.
- Show the number line. Bigger numbers are farther along.
Common mistakes
- Picking the group that looks bigger because the pictures are spread out, not because there are more.
- Mixing up more and fewer. Saying the word out loud before circling helps.
- Thinking bigger pictures mean more.
