Build Early Math Sense Through More, Less & Equal Comparisons For Preschool and Kindergarten Learners (Blue Owl Preschool Thinking Series)
“Help your child understand quantity before memorizing math rules.”— Rhada Bloom
Does your child recognize numbers but still hesitate when deciding which group has more, less, or the same amount?
Compare the Numbers – Visual Thinking Color Edition builds early number sense through a simple routine:
- SEE the picture groups
- COUNT the objects
- COMPARE the quantities
- CHOOSE More, Less, or Equal
Instead of starting with abstract symbols, children compare colorful groups they can see and count. This helps connect numbers with real quantities before formal addition and subtraction.
DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT STAGES
- Beginning learners can point, count aloud, and compare with adult support.
- Developing learners can count and choose independently.
- More confident learners can estimate first and explain their reasoning.
Parents and educators can extend an activity by asking, “How many more?” or “How many fewer?”
WHY THE PRACTICE REPEATS
The activity format remains predictable while quantities, visual examples, and answer positions change. Children can focus on observing and comparing instead of learning new directions on every page or memorizing one answer.
Repetition with variation supports:
- Quantity recognition
- Careful attention
- Less random guessing
- Independent choices
- More fluent comparison
Some questions are intentionally simple. Beginning learners can work carefully, while more confident children can practice accuracy, reasoning, and explanation.
INSIDE THE WORKBOOK
- 116 full-color, picture-based comparison questions
- Large, familiar visuals for young learners
- More, Less, and Equal multiple-choice practice
- A consistent, easy-to-follow format
- Varied quantities and visual examples
- Large-format pages for short practice sessions
- Optional QR game access for additional randomized practice
The printed workbook works independently as a calm, screen-free activity. The optional QR game provides extra practice when desired.
IDEAL FOR
- Preschool and kindergarten children ages 3–6
- Kindergarten readiness
- Homeschool or classroom practice
- Visual learners
- Children who recognize numbers but struggle to compare quantities
- Children who find symbol-heavy worksheets confusing
Use a few questions at a time. Let your child point, count, compare, and explain the choice.
Understanding comes before calculation.
