Comparing Numbers - Worksheet

The "Comparing Numbers" worksheets are a series of maths teaching resources designed to help children understand the concept of comparing quantities. The first worksheet presents two groups of items, and the task is for the students to compare these groups and colour the one that has a greater number of items. This visual and interactive approach aids in reinforcing the concept of 'greater than' in a way that is engaging for young learners.

The subsequent worksheets build on this foundational knowledge by introducing different comparative tasks. In the second worksheet, students are asked to identify and colour the group that has fewer items, focusing on the concept of 'less than'. The third worksheet adds complexity by presenting three groups of items, where the children must circle the two groups that have an equal number of items, thereby introducing the concept of equality. Additionally, a teacher's note provides instructions for a practical activity using frog counters to create visual groups, further encouraging the students to engage with the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to, through hands-on learning and class discussion.
