About this worksheet

Once a child can say which of two things is bigger, the next step is to compare three. Each box on this page shows three pictures of one thing in three sizes, and the child circles the biggest one or the smallest one. It is a little harder than two, because the middle picture is bigger than one and smaller than the other, so the child has to look at all three before choosing.

Slide a finger from picture to picture and ask the question again. At home, line up three cups, three spoons or three teddy bears, and ask which is biggest and which is smallest. Say the words with your voice: biggest, and then smallest. Some children need the bigger and smaller sheets first, and that is fine.

What your child will learn

  • Find the biggest of three pictures
  • Find the smallest of three pictures
  • Look at all three before choosing
  • Use the words biggest and smallest about real things

Head Start ELOF standard: P-MATH 8, K.MD.A.2

Common mistake
