Comparing Numbers More Less Equal — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. more
2. less
3. same
4. few
5. many
6. equal
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 5 cookies is more than 3 cookies.
Five comes after three when counting, which means five is the larger number here.
2. 2 apples is less than 6 apples.
Two is fewer because it comes before six when we count up from one.
3. 4 stars and 4 stars are equal groups.
Both sides show four stars, so the amounts match exactly and groups are equal.
4. 1 cat is fewer than 7 cats.
One is the smallest count here, so it has fewer items than seven cats.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A group of 6 fish is more than a group of 2 fish.
True False
Six is greater than two when counting, so the group of six has more fish.
2. A group of 3 hats is equal to a group of 5 hats.
True False
Equal means the same amount, but three and five are not the same number.
3. A group of 1 dog is less than a group of 4 dogs.
True False
One is less than four because one comes first when we count up from one.
