Kindergarten math · Unit 2: More, less, and counting on

Match them to compare

What this lesson shows

6 cups and 4 straws, matched one to one. 2 cups have no straw, so 6 is greater than 4.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 6 cups and 4 straws. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Match one to one
  2. Look for ones left over
  3. That group has more
  4. Say greater than or less than

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Your kid draws a line from each thing on top to one below. The group with some left over has more. Say it in words: "5 is greater than 3."

If your kid gets stuck

Draw a line to match each one. Which group has some left over?
