K.1.2

Compare and describe two sets of 10 or fewer objects, using the terms more, fewer, and the same.

Students are generally familiar with the concept of more, but may have had little experience with the term fewer. It is important to use the terms together to build an understanding of their relationship.

The student, given two sets, each containing 10 or fewer concrete objects, will identify and describe one set as having more, fewer, or the same number of members as the other set, using the concept of one-to-one correspondence.

Compare and describe no more than three sets of 10 or fewer objects, using the terms more, fewer, and the same. (a)

A set is a collection of objects.
