The Great Quantity Challenge: Comparing Groups for Preschool Ages 3–5

This teacher’s guide helps preschool educators introduce and practise comparing groups with children ages 3–5. Children explore which group has more, fewer, or the same number of objects, using real materials, matching, counting, and picture choices rather than memorizing comparison symbols. Use it for small-group or one-to-one play, beginning with clear visual differences and building toward closer comparisons. The guide also offers learning objectives and suggested materials, including counters, toy fruit, baskets, and picture choices.
