Hands-on Less and More Counting Activities

I'm so happy to share our updated Holiday and Seasonal themed packs of our MORE OR LESS / COMPARING NUMBERS Activities in the shop.  I had a great time using these learning materials with Vito years ago when he was just beginning to learn about numbers and quantities.  To give you an idea on how we conducted the activity check it here, CHRISTMAS THEMED PACK with manipulatives.  The picture below is Vito's work.  He's still learning so he has a mistake in this one.


This post gives an overview on HOW TO USE our learning materials.  Of course, it is designed to be open ended, meaning you can use it any way you want or you can do more extension works from here... but let this be your guide to jump start your students.

LESS AND MORE SORTING CARDS

This is a simple activity of sorting less, more and equal number of objects in the cards.  Count the objects with your child or students and identify whether it is less or more.   A separate group of cards is also provided for the equal sorting.

LESS AND MORE COUNTING CLIPCARDS

This is a counting clipcard, you can either do a "which group of objects has less? or which group of objects has more?  I love using math manipulatives for this activity to recreate the items in the cards and do hands-on counting.

WHICH SET HAS LESS? WHICH SET HAS MORE?

The aim of this activity is to identify which sets are "similar" or equal in number or which one is different.  Depending on what you decide, you can ask your child to identify the sets that are equal or the set that is different.

GREATER THAN, LESS THAN OR EQUAL

This activity makes use of math symbols to identify less than, greater than or equal numbers.  Use the printable math symbols provided or you can purchase magnetic math symbols from here (Gamenote Classroom Magnetic Numbers and Operations Kit with Magnet Board - Foam Number Magnets).

INK SAVERS!

Except for the LESS, MORE, EQUAL SORTING, all the printable activities comes in black & white version for those saving on ink.
