Eight pairs of numbers from 1 to 10, each with a dot picture underneath laid out like a ten frame: a row of five, then the rest. Children count or look at the dots, decide which side has more, and write >, < or = in the circle between them. One pair is equal, so the = sign gets used too. Answers on page 2.

Comparing numbers games
- Roll two dice (or draw two number cards each). Whoever has the bigger number says “greater than” and keeps the cards.
- Make the > and < symbol from two craft sticks and hold it between two piles of blocks.
- Say every answer out loud from left to right: “twelve is less than twenty-one”.
More number sense: the 0–20 number line, the 1–100 number chart and ten frames. Every sheet in this set is on the more than, less than worksheets page.
