Candy Jars

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features two large jars side by side, each with a label above them, one reading “LESS” and the other “MORE.” The instructions prompt students to draw candies inside the jars according to the labels and then write the corresponding number of candies in the boxes below each jar. This interactive task allows students to engage in a creative expression of the mathematical concepts of quantity. The worksheet is designed with plenty of space for drawing, which encourages the student to think about quantity visually and numerically.

The worksheet aims to teach students about the concepts of quantity and comparison. By drawing a different number of candies in each jar, students actively learn to distinguish between ‘less’ and ‘more.’ The activity also involves writing the numbers, which reinforces number recognition and the association between the numerical symbol and quantity. This hands-on approach to math helps to build foundational skills for understanding and comparing quantities, an important aspect of early numeracy.
