Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practises counting two sets, then comparing the totals — 10 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.CC.B.5: Count a group of up to 20 objects and say how many there are. The instruction to pupils is “Count each group, then write < , > or =”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.5 — K.CC.B.5, in the Counting & Cardinality domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Count and Compare Two Groups is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.CC.B.5, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 10 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Yes. Count and Compare Two Groups, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
