How to use this sheet

  • Match the two groups one to one with lines before answering. The group with pictures left over has more.
  • Ask "How do you know?" after each answer. Matching, counting and seeing are all good reasons.
  • Use real objects for any question that causes trouble: two piles of spoons are easier than two rows of pictures.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing the group that takes up more space, even if its pictures are spread out. Match the pictures one to one to check.
  • Choosing the group with the bigger pictures. Ask "How many?", not "Which looks bigger?"
  • Mixing up the words "more" and "fewer". Read each question aloud and point to the word.
