Comparing Objects - PowerPoint

In this educational resource tailored for Year 2 students, the focus is on comparing objects with a strong emphasis on understanding and using comparative terms such as 'more than', 'less than', and 'equal to'. The resource incorporates the mathematical symbols for greater than (>), less than (<), and equals (=) to visually represent these concepts. Through a series of slides and worksheets, students are encouraged to compare two sets of objects and determine the relationship between them using the appropriate terminology and symbols. This hands-on approach helps to build foundational number and place value skills in a practical and engaging manner.

The resource includes a variety of exercises where students are presented with pairs of object sets and tasked with comparing them. They are required to make judgements and fill in the blanks with either 'more than', 'less than', or 'equal to', or to use the correct mathematical symbol to show the comparison. Additionally, the worksheets provide real-life scenarios, such as comparing the number of shells collected by two individuals or the merit stars earned by two students, to contextualize the mathematical concepts. These activities not only enhance the students' ability to compare quantities but also improve their problem-solving skills and their understanding of numerical relationships.
