Comparing Numbers More Less Equal — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. big
2. small
3. match
4. set
5. add
6. dot
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. There are 9 fish and 4 fish. The 9 fish group has more fish.
Nine is greater than four, so that group holds more fish.
2. If a basket has 2 eggs and another has 7 eggs, 2 is less than 7.
Two comes before seven when counting, so two is less than seven.
3. Six birds and six birds. The two groups are equal.
Both sides show six, so the groups are equal in size.
4. When one group has 1 leftover after matching, it has more.
Extra leftover items show that group has more than the other.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 10 dots is less than 3 dots.
True False
Ten is greater than three, so ten is more, not less.
2. When two groups have 4 each, they are equal.
True False
Four equals four, so both groups have the same amount.
3. If you match items and one is leftover, the groups are equal.
True False
A leftover item proves one group has more, not equal.
