Comparing Amounts

 

Watch the video and talk together about the animal amounts.

 

• Which group of animals has more (lots/ a greater amount)? You can use different words to help them understand quantities.
• Which group of animals has less (not many/fewer)?
• Do any of the groups of animals have the same amount ?

 

Comparing Amounts

 

Using some numbers cards (from the learning pack or make your own) 1-10.

 

Then turn over a number card.

Can you count items to match that amount?

 

Then turn over another number card.

Again can you count items to match that amount?

 

Which has more/less or the same?

Try to encourage children to talk about the amounts they have and compare.  

Repeat this with different number cards.
