What Does Fewer or More Mean?
Hello little mathematician! 👋
Today we're going to play with groups of things and learn which group has fewer and which has more! It's like being a detective for numbers! 🕵️♂️
How to Compare Groups
1️⃣ Count the items in each group
2️⃣ Compare the numbers
3️⃣ Decide which has fewer and which has more

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it playful: Use everyday objects like toys, snacks, or socks to practice comparing groups. "Do we have more blue socks or white socks today?"
- Hands-on learning: Let your child physically move items into groups to compare them. This tactile experience helps reinforce the concept.
- Use comparison words: Regularly use words like "more," "fewer," "less," "same as," and "equal to" in daily conversations to build familiarity.
