What you’ll learn
- Matching to CompareCompare two groups by matching one-to-one to see which has more or fewer.You can compare groups by giving each thing in one group a partner in the other. Whichever group has leftovers has more. Matching is a sure way to compare, even before you can count.
- More, Fewer, SameUse counting to decide which group has more, which has fewer, or if they are equal.Counting each group lets you compare: the bigger number means more, the smaller number means fewer. When both groups have the same number and everything matches with no leftovers, they are equal.
- One More Each TimeUnderstand that each counting number is exactly one more than the one before.Counting numbers grow by one each step: 8 is one more than 7. Adding one object to a group makes the very next number, so 5 and one more is 6. This idea powers all of counting.
