Practice the comparison words lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, smaller, and bigger using this visual chart. For each set of three objects, pupils order them according to one of these terms. The six terms are illustrated above for...

Young mathematicians spin their way to a deeper number sense with this fun, collaborative activity. Using two spinners, one with the numbers 0-9 and the other with the decades 00-90, pairs of students take turns building and comparing...

Let's do some number comparisons! Learners study two numbers in the 75 sets of problems. They write a greater than, less than, or equal to sign to compare the numbers.

Expand the the comparative language of young mathematicians with a hand-on weight measurement activity. Working independently or in pairs, children compare the weight of large wooden blocks to various other classroom objects, recording...

Kindergartners are asked to count and compare the number of objects in one set with the number in two other sets. The resource provides answers and explanations for problems on a referenced (but not included) worksheet.

Practice math vocabulary terms fewer, more, and data using this visual-object-analysis guide. Learners observe three sets of objects and answer three questions, two of which compare numbers of objects, and the last which asks scholars to...

Students look at various sets and find which has more.  In this comparing sets lesson plan, students look at sets and find a lesser set of the same object. Students create subtraction problems from sets.

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Students compare 2 sets using less than or more than. In this comparing lesson, students look at pictures of items and find which set has more.  They complete multiple choice questions on which set has less.
