comparing numbers is one of the basic skills that must be taught to children, usually at an early age, where some fun methods are used to teach children to comparing numbers, write them, and perform addition and subtraction mentally.
comparing numbers activities help develop the student’s ability to understand numbers deeply. Where he acquires sensory skills on counting numbers and calculating them mentally. The child can easily compare simple numbers visually, but with larger numbers it will be different. With the comparing numbers activities, the child can practice counting and comparing numbers with ease.

This Comparing Numbers pack consists of 4 different activities and 12 pages to support children in comparing quantities and introduce them to the vocabulary of more and fewer. The activities are as follows:
Add more/fewer peas to the plate. You could be really specific and add one more, two more, or one fewer etc.
Each player has a row of houses. Roll a die and deliver parcels or letters as you move along the row (use cubes as parcels or pieces of card for the letters). Don’t forget to talk about who has delivered more or fewer. The winner is the first one to deliver a parcel or letter to every house.
Sort the buttons into two jars according to whether there are more or fewer.

This lesson plan aligns with Oklahoma academic standard K.N.1.8, in which students will compare numbers using the words, “less,” “more,” and “equal.” Teach the lesson with the first several sheets and teach them that Alligator Andy prefers to eat the bigger number. Ask them, “Would he rather eat the number in the top box or the bottom box?” Help guide them to the answer of which box has the bigger number. To assess students, use the final sheet and orally ask them if the first number is less than, more than, or equal to the second.
