Comparing Quantities - Kindergarten Math Centers

Before multiplication and division (repeated equal groups) are considered in kindergarten or first grade you should be confident that your students are confident comparing the quantities of groups. 

Our Math Pack 8 will help! This is a pack of 5 math activities to complement your math program, engage students and focus on key sequenced skills. 

This bundle will help students learning to:

• understand more/less
• compare using a linear arrangement
• compare using the collection model
• compare using 'groups of 2'
• determine 'how many more/less'
• draw more than

Each of the 5 small-group activities has:

• detailed instructions
• playing cards/boards/templates
• a worksheet (either a recording worksheet or a fun-follow-up)
• a cover page to help you organize your resources for future reference

These activities can be used in a structured game rotation program, as math centers or in guided math. Once taught, they also make fantastic 'fast-finisher' activities for revision of key concepts.

Let's take a peek at each of the 5 activities:

Let's Compare

Students will label picture collections with greater than/less than/equal to words and symbol cards

Collecting Shells

Students will determine more/less with pictures of collections as they collect shells in their bucket.

How Many More?

Students will determine 'how many more' by direct comparison of picture cards (arranged in rows of 2 - good intro to odd/even).

Train Tracks

Students will order numbers in a linear arrangement to determine more/less.

Peas Please

Students will draw 'more peas' to make a group that is 'more than' the picture collection.
