Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practices counting a set, then comparing the count with a number — 5 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 students is “Count the group. Is it more or fewer than the number?”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.5 — K.CC.B.5, under Counting & Cardinality 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, Then Compare is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.CC.B.5, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 5 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 student, 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, Then Compare, 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.
