Comparing numbers worksheets

More or fewer, bigger or smaller, greater than or less than

Make a page for comparing numbers. Beginners count two groups of pictures and circle the group that has more. The next step is two numbers with no pictures: circle the bigger one. Then your child writes the sign between two numbers: greater than, less than or equal to.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose the kind of page.
  2. Choose how big the numbers are: to 10, 20 or 100.
  3. Choose more or fewer for the circling pages.
  4. Print. Press “New version” for new numbers.

Three steps

Counting pictures comes first, because a child can see which group is bigger. Numbers alone come next. The signs come last: they are only a short way of writing what the child already knows.

Reading the sign

The open side of the sign always faces the bigger number. Read it from left to right: 7 > 4 says “7 is greater than 4”.

Good questions

Does the page use the equal sign?

Yes. On the page with signs, one pair on each page is two equal numbers.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Turn on “Answer key page”.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

What ages is it for?

Counting groups suits ages 4 and 5. Numbers to 20 suit kindergarten, and the signs with numbers to 100 suit first grade.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
