Circle the bigger group worksheets
"Which has more?" is a question a child can answer long before the greater-than and less-than signs mean anything. These free printable worksheets put two groups of pictures on each row and ask for a ring around the fuller one — the comparison, without the notation.
Circle the bigger group
The answer key prints on a separate page.
What's on this sheet
Up to ten the two groups are drawn in matched rows, one object above another, so a child can see the leftover without counting either side. Above ten they are drawn as piles, and the answer key marks the extras. Both are one-to-one correspondence, which is what the standard is about (K.CC.C.6).
Why this sheet works
The two groups are never equal. A ring can say "this one" and cannot say "neither", so the equal case belongs on the greater-than and less-than sheet, where a box takes an equals sign.
