More or Less?

Introduction

By: Claire Kewish

More or Less? 

This WebQuest is for kindergarten students to practice comparing groups of objects to each other to decide which group has more or less objects or if they are the same. Let's practice some counting! 

SUBJECT: Math

GRADE LEVEL: Kindergarten

STANDARD: Compare numbers

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.C.6
Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.

Task

Students will learn how to use their math skills to count the number of items in different groups and compare the groups to each other.  They will decide which group has more or less than the other, or if they are the same.  

Learning Objectives: 

1. Students will be able to count the number of objects in a group. 

2. Students will be able to compare one group of objects to a different group of objects. 

3. Students will be able to identify whether one number (or count of objects) is greater than, less than, or equal to the other number. 

4. Students will be able to use matching and counting strategies to help compare groups of objects. 

This activity helps students work towards the following Common Core standard:
