Compare the Groups worksheet helps young learners build foundational number sense by comparing quantities using greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=) symbols. Each pair of boxes contains groups of colorful candies, making the activity both fun and educational.

Using alligator-style comparison graphics (with open mouths facing the larger quantity), children practice visual quantity comparison, learn mathematical symbols, and strengthen critical thinking skills.

Benefits:

Number Comparison: Reinforces basic math concepts like more, fewer, and equal.

Symbol Recognition: Introduces students to comparison operators in a hands-on way.

Visual Discrimination: Enhances attention to detail and early problem-solving skills.

Fine Motor Practice: Students can cut and paste symbols or draw them in the boxes.

What You Need:

Printed worksheet
Pencil or crayons
Scissors and glue (for cut-and-paste activity)

How to Use:

Count the candies in each group from left and right.
Choose the correct symbol (<, >, =) and place it in the middle box.
Use the alligator symbols at the bottom for cutting and pasting, or draw the symbol by hand.
Reinforce learning by asking, “Why did the alligator eat that side?”
