Tips on how to use this exercise at home and at school.
Early maths concepts
In this exercise, the child is already counting objects, expressing numbers and quantities, and comparing them.
Why is this exercise important?
The child already understands the principle of comparison qualitatively (thanks to exercise 121 Determine where there is the same, more, less).
However, it is now necessary to include numerical (quantitative) expressions in the comparison. Thus, the child works with both quantities and numbers, which he compares passively with each other.
Who is the exercise suitable for?
In general, it belongs to early school games. In addition to the concepts of number ideas, rational assumptions develop at the same time language skills with numbers.
Methodological recommendations
Either read aloud the instructions to the child, play them from the app or let the child read them by themselves.
It shows 2 groups of pictures and the child works according to the instructions: he counts the objects in the first group and writes them down by number, then he counts the objects in the second group and writes them down by number as well. He then compares the objects and numbers and chooses the correct symbol: the same, more or less.
In the settings, we can select the number range 0-5, 0-10 and possibly display a hint for the symbols = < > or also the same images
Tips for similar activities outside the app
Next, we can compare using dice. You and the child roll the dice and compare: Who got the same, more or less points?

Now we are naming situations with numbers.
