Multi-day hands on lesson to teach strategies for comparing sets: matching, counting, equal shares
In this assessment task students will cut and classify pictures. They will be asked to explain how the pictures are sorted, count the number in each group, identify the group that is greater and write the correct number from 1-20. Assessment sheets and a rubric are provided.
In this assessment task students are asked to sort buttons by the number of holes. They will label how they sorted the groups and then draw a circle around the group with the largest number of buttons. An assessment sheet and rubric are provided.

Students compare two sets of objects using matching and counting strategies. The sets of objects are compared using the language "greater than", "less than" or "equal to".
This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

In this lesson, students will identify whether a quantity of objects in one group is greater than, less than or equal to a quantity of objects in another group. Students will use one-to-one correspondence (or other counting strategies) to answer the question: How many are in one group?

This file contains representations and strategies for solving comparison problems. These representations help answer the questions, "How many more?" and "How many fewer/less?" This resource is especially useful for making comparisons when analyzing data.

In this lesson, students will identify the number of objects in a group as greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, for numbers 1-5. Students will understand the relationship between number labels (such as "4" naming a collection of four) and quantities. They will understand that counting by ones increases the quantity by one more.

Prior to this lesson students should have had experiences comparing sets of objects.
The goal of this lesson is to bridge standards CC.6 and MD.2 by comparing sets using measurement concepts and vocabulary.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. In this lesson, partners use both centimeters and inches to measure objects to develop their understanding of the relationship between the length of a unit and the resulting measurement. With teacher guidance, they will solidify their understanding that the objects themselves do not change when measured using different units. Students should have had multiple experiences measuring using standard units before attempting this lesson.
