About this worksheet

Pairs of picture groups to count and compare. Some match and some don't.

What kids practice

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.

Watch for

  • 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.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full more, less and the same guide for kindergarten.
