Math Worksheets for Students: A Fun and Engaging Learning Resource

Comparing Numbers

Children start their dalliance with Mathematics at a very foundational level, understanding concepts like ‘more’ and ‘less’, drawing ‘more’ or ‘less’ objects than shown, and so on. These worksheets are often very colorfully and attractively designed because they are for kindergarten students. In kindergarten, students are between 3 and 5 years old. They are fascinated by colorful objects and shapes. These worksheets take advantage of these traits of kindergarten students.

Another aspect of Mathematics that kindergarten students need to get familiar is also dealt with in the worksheets given here. That is, to get familiar with the symbols such as >, <, and =. Considering that these symbols will have to be used by a person lifelong, it is of paramount importance that children get it right at this very early age.

Therefore, the topics covered in these worksheets are

• Which group has more objects (pictures)
• Which group has fewer objects (pictures)
• Count the objects (pictures) and write the correct symbol (>, <, =) in the box
• Circle the number which is less or greater
• Compare the numbers and write the correct symbol (>, <, =)
• Circle the lowest or greatest number
• Order the numbers from lowest to greatest or greatest to lowest

1. Draw a circle around the group which has more objects/pictures.

2. Draw a circle around the group that has fewer objects (pictures)

3. Count the objects (pictures) and write the correct symbol (>, <, =) in the box
