Addition and Subtraction Practice: Compare Bigger or Equal
This worksheet builds addition and subtraction readiness by comparing two picture groups and choosing which group is bigger, smaller, or equal. Children count the objects shown in each box, not digits on the page.
At age five, kids often stall when tasks feel like letters or writing, and five-year-olds get bored fast with number-only work. Picture counting gives a quick, hands-on way to make the comparison feel real.
Point to the first group and count each picture aloud while placing one small counter per object. Repeat for the second group, then ask which group has more and which group has less before you check the equal group.
This comparison mode helps children practice early math thinking without relying on memorized symbols. The two sets of pictures make it easy for grown-ups to see the child’s understanding through counting and matching.
