Picture Groups Comparison Worksheet

Kids can stall when two groups look close in size, especially when they are still learning to count carefully. This page keeps the job simple: look at two groups of pictures, count each group, and decide whether one group is bigger, smaller, or the same amount.

It is a good fit when a preschooler can touch and count a small group of objects, even if they still skip numbers sometimes. Because the page uses actual pictures instead of number sentences, your child can lean on what they see while practicing the idea that each object gets counted one time.

Sit nearby and ask, “How many are in this group?” then “How many are in that group?” If your child guesses, slow it down with a finger tap under each picture. After both groups are counted, invite them to say the comparison in a full sentence, such as “This group is bigger” or “They are equal.”

When this comparison work feels comfortable, it can lead naturally into early subtraction because children are already noticing more and fewer. For a next step, try the Subtraction Pictures Worksheet for Preschool Math, which keeps the picture support while introducing taking away. You can also use the Preschool Subtraction Worksheet: Count and Subtract when your child is ready to count what remains after objects are removed.
