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. big
5. small
6. equal
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 8 ducks is more than 5 ducks.
Eight comes after five in the count, which makes eight the larger amount.
2. 2 bears is fewer than 9 bears.
Two is a small count, while nine is large, so two is fewer than nine.
3. 6 cubes and 6 cubes are the same amount.
Both groups show six, so neither is bigger and the amounts are the same.
4. 3 frogs is less than 7 frogs.
Three is less than seven because three comes earlier in our counting order.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A group of 9 birds is more than a group of 4 birds.
True False
Nine is greater than four, so the group of nine birds has more than four.
2. A group of 7 balls is equal to a group of 7 balls.
True False
Equal means the same amount, and both sides show seven balls exactly.
3. A group of 10 pens is fewer than a group of 2 pens.
True False
Ten is greater than two, so ten pens is more pens, not fewer pens at all.
