Let’s go row by row and count the dots in each set. Then we’ll write how many there are, and color the set that has more dots.
---
Row 1:
Left side:
We see a ten-frame with 7 orange dots (full top row of 5, plus 2 on bottom).
→ Write “7”
Right side:
Ten-frame with 4 orange dots (top row: 3, bottom row: 1)
→ Write “4”
Which is more? 7 > 4 → Color the
left set.
---
Row 2:
Left side:
Top row: 5 dots, bottom row: 2 dots → total = 7
→ Write “7”
Right side:
Top row: 4 dots, bottom row: 3 dots → total = 7
→ Write “7”
They are equal! So neither has more — but since the instruction says “color the set that has the more”, and they’re equal, you can leave both uncolored or check with your teacher. But for now, we just write the numbers.

Row 3:
Left side:
Top row: 4 dots, bottom row: 0 → total = 4
→ Write “4”
Right side:
Top row: 5 dots, bottom row: 1 → total = 6
→ Write “6”
Which is more? 6 > 4 → Color the
right set.
---
Row 4:
Left side:
Top row: 3 dots, bottom row: 0 → total = 3
→ Write “3”
Right side:
Top row: 4 dots, bottom row: 0 → total = 4
→ Write “4”
Which is more? 4 > 3 → Color the
right set.
---
Row 5:
Left side:
Top row: 3 dots, bottom row: 0 → total = 3
→ Write “3”
Right side:
Top row: 4 dots, bottom row: 0 → total = 4
→ Write “4”
Which is more? 4 > 3 → Color the
right set.
---
Now let’s summarize all answers clearly:
Row 1: Left = 7, Right = 4 → Color left
Row 2: Left = 7, Right = 7 → Equal (no coloring needed unless instructed)
Row 3: Left = 4, Right = 6 → Color right
Row 4: Left = 3, Right = 4 → Color right
Row 5: Left = 3, Right = 4 → Color right
Final Answer:
Row 1: 7 and 4 — color left
Row 2: 7 and 7 — no color (equal)
Row 3: 4 and 6 — color right
Row 4: 3 and 4 — color right
Row 5: 3 and 4 — color right
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of compare numbers in a set worksheet.
