Solve problems by comparing sets of objects
I can solve problems by comparing the number of objects in two sets.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Make comparisons between 2 sets of the same objects.
- Make comparisons between 2 sets of different objects.
- Count the different objects separately.
- One set can contain more or fewer objects than the other.
- Both sets can contain the same number of objects.
Keywords
Same - two or more things are identical
Different - non-identical
More than / greater than - has a greater amount / more items.
Less than / fewer than - has a lesser amount / fewer items.
Equal to - exactly the same amount or value
Common misconception
Children may think that bigger objects, or objects that are spread out have a greater value.
Emphasise that we are counting the number of objects and it does not matter about the size or position.
The lesson starts to make comparisons between sets of objects. Provide opportunities for practical comparison of a variety of objects.
