Groups of Animals

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a quantity comparison activity for students, featuring three sets of animals: hippos, giraffes, and whales. Each set of animals is divided into two groups, with one group in each set containing a greater number of animals than the other. Students are instructed to circle the group with the larger number of animals in each set. The worksheet employs clear, simple illustrations of the animals to facilitate easy counting and comparison for the students.

The aim of the worksheet is to teach students the concept of “more” by having them identify which group of animals is larger in each set. This activity encourages students to practice counting and to develop their number sense by recognizing differences in quantity. It also helps students become familiar with comparative terms such as “more” and “less,” important vocabulary in early mathematical learning. Engaging with this worksheet helps students to visually discern and compare quantities, which is a foundational skill in mathematics.
