Let's solve this step-by-step based on the image you've provided. The goal is to
identify which set has more or fewer items and then
draw lines to match the correct comparison words: "greater than," "fewer than," "more than," or "less than."
We'll go through each pair of images and compare the quantities.

🔹 First Pair: Soccer Balls
- Left box: 5 soccer balls
- Right box: 4 soccer balls
So:
- Left has
more than the right
- Right has
fewer than the left
✔ Matching:
- Left (5) → "more than" → Right (4)
- Right (4) → "fewer than" → Left (5)
This is already shown in the example.

🔹 Second Pair: Kites
- Left box: 2 kites
- Right box: 1 kite
So:
- Left has
more than the right
- Right has
fewer than the left
✔ Matching:
- Left (2) → "more than" → Right (1)
- Right (1) → "fewer than" → Left (2)
> So, draw a line from the
left kite box to
"more than", and from the
right kite box to
"fewer than".

🔹 Third Pair: Hats
- Left box: 4 hats (orange, pink, yellow, blue)
- Right box: 2 hats (orange, blue)
So:
- Left has
more than the right
- Right has
fewer than the left
✔ Matching:
- Left (4) → "more than" → Right (2)
- Right (2) → "fewer than" → Left (4)
> Draw a line from the
left hat box to
"more than", and from the
right hat box to
"fewer than".
---
🔹 Fourth Pair: Bow Ties and Umbrellas
- Left box: 3 bow ties
- Right box: 4 umbrellas
So:
- Left has
fewer than the right
- Right has
more than the left
But note: the labels are:
- "greater than"
- "fewer than"
Since “greater than” means the same as “more than,” we can use them interchangeably.
So:
- Left (3) → "fewer than" → Right (4)
- Right (4) → "greater than" → Left (3)
✔ Matching:
- Left (bow ties) → "fewer than" → Right (umbrellas)
- Right (umbrellas) → "greater than" → Left (bow ties)
> Draw a line from the
left bow tie box to
"fewer than", and from the
right umbrella box to
"greater than".

✔ Final Answer Summary:
| Left Box | Comparison | Right Box |
|--------|------------|---------|
| Soccer balls (5) | more than | Soccer balls (4) |
| Kites (2) | more than | Kite (1) |
| Hats (4) | more than | Hats (2) |
| Bow ties (3) | fewer than | Umbrellas (4) |
> So, connect:
1.
Kites (2) →
"more than"
2.
Kite (1) →
"fewer than"
3.
Hats (4) →
"more than"
4.
Hats (2) →
"fewer than"
5.
Bow ties (3) →
"fewer than"
6.
Umbrellas (4) →
"greater than"

📝 Explanation:
This activity teaches
comparing quantities using visual sets. Children learn to count objects in each group and determine if one group has
more than,
fewer than, or
equal to another. The terms "greater than" and "more than" are used interchangeably here, just like "fewer than" and "less than".
The key skill is:
- Count each set.
- Compare the numbers.
- Use the correct phrase to describe the relationship.
