This activity is all about comparing amounts.
We're going to be using the word fewest.
Example
Which group below has the fewest faces?
A | |
B | |
C |
Answer
Group A has 6 faces.
Group B has 3 faces.
Group C has 4 faces.
Group B has fewer faces than both the others because 3 is smaller than both 4 and 6.
Group B has the fewest faces.
Does that make sense?
What about these pictures of cats.
Which group has the fewest cats?
Group A:
Group B:
Group C:
Group A has 4 cats, Group B has 3 cats and Group C has 6 cats.
So, Group B has the fewest.
Let's try some questions now.
