About this worksheet

Comparing numbers begins with a concrete question: which group has more? Kindergarten children often judge by how much space a group covers instead of counting its objects, so a widely scattered set can look larger than a close row. This worksheet keeps every object the same size and puts the two groups side by side, one labeled A and one labeled B. The child counts both groups and circles the letter of the one with more, or fewer: a sheet asks for one word only, so there is never a switch of question halfway down the page.

Support versions use more obvious differences between small groups. Standard versions include closer amounts, and challenge versions include groups one apart. Encourage your child to pair one object from the left group with one from the right when counting feels uncertain. Any objects left without partners show which group has more.

What your child will learn

Count two groups of objects
Tell which group has more
Tell which group has fewer

Common Core standard: K.CC.C.6

Worked example

Pair 6 stars with 4 buttons. Two stars have no partner, so the star group has more.

Common mistake

Choosing the group that spreads farther instead of counting its objects.

Helpful hint

Count both groups, or match their objects one to one.
