About

A kindergarten lesson on comparing numbers 1 to 10 with Tilly the turtle. Children find which group has fewer and say it with "less", tap the number that is more or less, check with cube towers or the counting order, roll onto a number mat, and build 7 on 5-frames to show it is more than 4. Every direction is narrated, with a spoken hint after a wrong try.

What's included

  • 14 narrated scenes with Tilly the turtle
  • 8 more-or-less questions with spoken hints
  • Cube-tower and counting-order helpers
  • A 5-frame build: show 7 next to 4

Learning objectives

  • Tell which of two groups has fewer, and say it as less with numbers.
  • Choose the number that is more, and the one that is less, from two numbers between 1 and 10.
  • Use cubes or the counting order to check which number is more.
  • Show a number on 5-frames to compare it with another number.
