About Comparing Groups

What this skill is

Comparing groups involves matching items one-to-one or counting set totals to determine which collection has greater quantity, less quantity, or equal value, establishing early quantitative reasoning.

When children learn it

Comparing quantities of objects in two groups using matching and counting strategies is a core kindergarten standard (CCSS K.CC.C.6).

Teaching Tips

  • Draw connecting lines with a pencil between pairs of objects in group A and group B. Any items left over without a partner reveal which group has more and by exactly how many.

Common Mistakes

  • Judging quantity based on physical area or size rather than count, assuming spread-out items are "more" than tightly clustered items.
  • Confusing the terms "more" and "fewer" when answering questions.
  • Failing to pair objects one-to-one when determining how many more exist.
