More than and fewer than
I can compare two or more groups using the language more than and fewer than.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Know two or more groups can be compared using 'more than' and 'fewer than'.
- Know when comparing groups, objects from each can be placed in lines and matched (one-to-one) to support comparison.
- Know groups can contain the same number of things.
Common misconception
May consider the size of objects when comparing rather than the numerosity of the group.
Ensure any groups compared throughout the day are very obviously different before comparing more small things with fewer large things.
Keywords
More than - More than means having a larger value than another number or set.
Fewer than - Fewer than means having a smaller number of objects in a set.
Equal - Equal means to have exactly the same amount or value.
Compare - When you compare you look for what is the same and what is different. It is good to know if one number is the same as, smaller than or bigger than another number.
