Unit 6: Comparing
Foundation
Students need this knowledge first
I can answer 'how many?' in a collection without recounting using both concrete and pictorial representations — Unit 1: Counting to 5
I can use a collection of objects to describe one more and one less — Unit 3: Back, More & Less
I am confident stating the amount in a collection once rearranged, without recounting — Unit 4: Trust the Count
I can use a fives frame to recognise and represent quantities — Unit 5: Representation of Quantities
I can visually recognise a quantity difference between two small collections that are arranged to show this obviously
I can visually recognise a quantity equality between two small collections that are arranged to show this obviously
I can use the terms smaller, larger, more, less, fewer, same and equal to compare two small collections
I can identify the group in question, or state neither when they are the same
I can answer with yes or no when asked if two small collections are equal
If required, I can check my answer with counting
Success Criteria
Lesson 1: Visual Comparing
We are learning to compare two small collections of the same objects that have been arranged linearly.
Learning Intention
Learning Sequence
I can accurately match, using one-to-one pairing, the objects in two concrete collections
I can accurately match, using one-to-one lines, the objects in two pictorial collections
I can describe the comparison using smaller, larger, more, less, fewer, same and equal
Success Criteria
Lesson 2: Matching to Compare
We are learning how to compare two collections of similar objects through one-to-one matching.
Learning Intention
Learning Sequence
I can identify two object types to compare in amongst many object types
I can match the two object types accurately
I can describe the comparison of these using smaller, larger, more, less, fewer, same and equal
I recognise that choosing another object type to compare is independent from the previous comparison
Success Criteria
Lesson 3: Choosing a Comparison
We are learning how to compare two object types in a collection of many object types.
