Which group has the most?

What this lesson shows

Toys sorted into groups: 5 balls, 2 cars, 3 stars. Balls have the most, and cars have the fewest.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 5 balls, 2 cars, 3 stars. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

1. Count each group
2. Write each number
3. Greatest number: the most
4. Least number: the fewest

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Your kid counts each row, writes the number at its end, and circles the row with the greatest number. Ask which has the fewest too.

If your kid gets stuck

Count each row. The greatest number has the most.
