L10 – WWW – Reception Compare Numbers

Support your EYFS pupils in developing number sense with this interactive Maths Resource Pack, focusing on comparing numbers. Designed for Reception learners, this pack introduces the language of comparison (more than, fewer than, equal to) and helps children build the skills to confidently compare quantities and numerals. Using engaging teaching slides and hands-on activities, children are guided through simple comparisons such as “Which group has more?” or “Show me the number that is fewer.” Pupils practise representing numbers with objects, fingers, and numerals, strengthening their ability to recognise which is greater, smaller, or the same. Independent activities encourage practical exploration—matching objects to numbers, comparing sets, and using everyday items to decide which group has more or fewer. A plenary recap helps consolidate learning by revisiting key comparison vocabulary and checking understanding in a fun and interactive way.
