Place value within 10 - Comparing activity - Worksheet

The "Compare Objects 1" worksheet is a hands-on educational resource designed to help children understand and practice the concept of place value within the number range of 1 to 10. Through a comparison activity, children are encouraged to use physical materials to explore numerical values and their relationships. The activity involves laminated cards, which can be reused, and children are prompted to select a card and then use items like cubes to demonstrate the mathematical statements provided.

The worksheet is divided into sections for fluency and precision, presenting a series of numerical comparisons for the children to work through. For example, they will find cards that show inequalities such as '3 is less than 6' or '4 is less than 8', and equalities such as '3 equals 3' or '10 equals 10'. Additionally, there are cards that illustrate greater than statements like '10 is greater than 3' or '9 is greater than 1'. By cutting out the cards and using cubes to visually represent these comparisons, children can concretely see and understand the differences between numbers, reinforcing their grasp of place value and number magnitude.
