What Does Fewer and More Mean?
Comparing groups is like being a detective with numbers!
When we say one group has "more," it means it has a bigger number of things. When we say "fewer," it means it has a smaller number. Let's practice this super fun skill!
How to Compare Groups
1️⃣ Count the items in each group
2️⃣ Compare the numbers you counted
3️⃣ Decide which group has more or fewer
Let's Practice Together!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it real: Use everyday objects like toys or snacks to practice comparing groups. "Do you have more crackers or grapes in your snack box?"
- Play games: Try simple card games where you compare who has more or fewer cards, or board games that involve comparing quantities.
- Use math language: Regularly use words like "more," "fewer," "same," and "equal" in daily conversations to reinforce the concepts.
