Unit 2, Lesson 5
Make Groups of More, Fewer, or the Same
Kindergarten
Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to make groups that have more, fewer, or the same number of objects as another group.
Lesson Narrative
Students build on their work of identifying groups that have more, fewer, or the same number of objects as another group. Students learn stages of two centers where they make groups with more, fewer, or the same number as a given group with objects and fingers. Students continue to practice using comparison language during the activities.
- Representation
- MLR8
- Use fingers to represent a number that is more than, fewer than, or the same as the number of fingers in an image.
- Use “more than” and “fewer than” to compare (orally) groups of objects.
- Let’s make groups of objects that have more, fewer, or the same number of objects as another group.
