Lesson Narrative
Throughout the lesson, students have multiple opportunities to create groups and use the language “more,” “fewer,” or “the same number.” In the Lesson Synthesis, students explain the strategies they use for comparing and creating groups of images.
- Action and Expression
- MLR8
- Draw groups that have “more” images, “fewer” images, and “the same number” of images as a given group.
- Draw groups that match given comparison statements.
- Let’s make groups that have more, fewer, or the same number of images.
Required Preparation
- Create a class chart from the blackline master.
- Each group of 2 needs a set of cards from the blackline master.
- Gather materials from:
- Fewer, Same, More, Stages 1‒3
- Bingo, Stage 1
- Math Stories, Stage 1
- Connecting Cubes, Stages 1‒3
- Number Race, Stage 1

NoneTeacher Reflection Questions
In a future section, students will compare written numbers 1–10. What strategies do you anticipate students will use to compare written numbers? How are these strategies the same as and different from the strategies students have used to compare the number of images in groups in this section?
