Sprouts trail · ages 5–6

More or less games for kids

Comparing amounts helps children understand what numbers mean, not just how to say them. Which group has more? Are they the same? These questions build number sense.

Number Quest shows two groups side by side and asks which has more, or whether they are the same.
