Pre-K More or Fewer Pictures

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: comparing two small quantities

1

Circle the group with more: 1 bird or 3 birds.

2

Circle the group with fewer: 4 blocks or 2 blocks.

3

Which has more: 2 apples or 5 apples? Say how you know.

4

Which has fewer: 3 stars or 4 stars?

5

Match 3 buttons to 3 buttons. Do the groups have more, fewer, or the same?

6

Draw two groups with different amounts. Ask an adult which has more.

Grown-up guide
  1. Line up objects one-to-one before counting if the child is deciding from physical size or spacing.
  2. Use the words more, fewer, and same while pointing to both groups.
  3. Keep comparisons within 1–5 until the child consistently matches and counts.
