On this sheet

  • Pair up the counters. Which group has more? — answer: Pairs the counters one with one, sees 3 left over in the second group, and says the second group has more (the first group has fewer). Choosing the group that is spread out wider, or giving a comparison by counting alone without pairing, does not demonstrate one-to-one pairing.
