About this resource

Support your EYFS pupils in developing number sense with this interactive Maths Resource Pack, focusing on comparing numbers. Designed for Reception learners, this pack introduces the language of comparison (more than, fewer than, equal to) and helps children build the skills to confidently compare quantities and numerals. Using engaging teaching slides and hands-on activities, children are guided through simple comparisons such as “Which group has more?” or “Show me the number that is fewer.” Pupils practise representing numbers with objects, fingers, and numerals, strengthening their ability to recognise which is greater, smaller, or the same. Independent activities encourage practical exploration—matching objects to numbers, comparing sets, and using everyday items to decide which group has more or fewer. A plenary recap helps consolidate learning by revisiting key comparison vocabulary and checking understanding in a fun and interactive way. What’s Included in the Pack? ✔ Teaching slides introducing comparison vocabulary and concepts ✔ Guided activities comparing groups of objects and numerals ✔ Practical tasks exploring “more than,” “fewer than,” and “equal to” ✔ Independent activities for hands-on number comparisons ✔ A plenary recap to reinforce and review learning outcomes Why Teachers Love This Pack: ✔ Designed for Reception / EYFS statutory maths goals ✔ Interactive and practical—no worksheets required ✔ Builds number recognition, reasoning, and mathematical language ✔ Flexible for whole-class lessons, small groups, or continuous provision Curriculum Links: This pack supports the EYFS Statutory Framework for Mathematics by helping children: ✔ Use the vocabulary of comparison in practical contexts ✔ Compare quantities and numerals to 10 ✔ Develop reasoning and confidence in early number skills Whether introducing comparison for the first time or reinforcing concepts ahead of Key Stage 1, this resource makes early maths engaging, hands-on, and effective for Read more
