Addition and Subtraction Picture Comparison Worksheet
This worksheet practices early addition and subtraction thinking by comparing two groups of objects and choosing which group is bigger, smaller, or equal, using picture counting (not digits).
At age 3, many kids get wiggly fast when counting feels slow or confusing. A quick fix is to keep the focus on the two pictures on the page, count them together one tap at a time, and celebrate the choice right away.
Use this exact page by pointing to the first pair of picture groups, counting with your child out loud, and asking, “Which group has more? Which group has less?” Then help the child circle or choose the answer.
What makes this worksheet different from a generic printable is the built-in comparison goal, it stays grounded in real pictures, and it gives you a simple script for talking about more and less during shared parent-child time.
