About this worksheet

Comparing is where counting starts to become mathematics. A child who can count two groups still has to decide what the two totals mean together, and young children often answer from appearance instead: the group that spreads further across the page, or the one with the pictures they like. Here every kind of picture sits in its own row, lined up from the left, so a longer row simply means more and a shorter row means fewer. The child answers by circling the picture that belongs to the row, so nothing has to be read or written.

Ready sheets use rows that are far apart in length. Practice sheets bring the rows closer together. Stretch sheets use longer rows that differ by only one. Every sheet also asks a third question, which one has just as many as the first row. Children reach for the biggest pile by habit, so when your child gets that one right, say the word same out loud.

What your child will learn

  • Find the row with the most pictures
  • Find the row with the fewest pictures
  • Find the row that has the same number as another
  • Answer by choosing the picture that belongs to a row

Head Start ELOF standard: P-MATH 4, K.CC.C.6

Worked example

Three rows: four apples, two ducks and one fish. Count each row. The apple row is the longest and has the most, so circle the apple.

Common mistake

Answering with the picture that catches the eye instead of counting every row.

Helpful hint

Count one row at a time and remember each total.
