Count and compare objects in this fun math worksheet for kids.

Let's solve the "Count and Compare" worksheet step by step. The goal is to count the number of items in each group and then compare them using the correct symbol:
- `>` means "greater than"
- `<` means "less than"
- `=` means "equal to"

We'll go row by row.

🔹 Row 1: Ducks vs. Flowers

- Ducks: Count them → 6 ducks
- Flowers: Count them → 6 flowers

So, 6 = 6 → Use =

✔ Answer: =

🎯 Complete Solution:

Fill in the stars with:
```
= < < <
```

And the sentence:
"I am Ruby" — because Ruby is on the right side, and she’s probably saying “I am...” after comparing.

But actually, the blank says:
"I am..................................."
This might be a space for the child to write their name or possibly a statement like "I am greater than," but based on context, it seems more likely it's just a prompt for the child to complete the sentence.

However, since Lucas and Ruby are characters, and this is a fun activity, the intended answer may simply be to write the comparison symbols in the stars.

✔ Final Answer Summary:

| Row | Left Group | Right Group | Comparison |
|-----|------------|-------------|------------|
| 1 | 6 Ducks | 6 Flowers | = |
| 2 | 5 Balls | 7 Apples | < |
| 3 | 4 Butterflies | 5 Cars | < |
| 4 | 7 Cakes | 8 Lollipops | < |
