Comparing Objects — Interactive Lesson (Year 2)

Who has fewer sticks, Jade or Jojo? This 14-slide interactive lesson teaches comparing objects up to 100 using clear comparison language and symbols.

Mastering Comparing Objects in Year 2 Maths

Pupils learn to compare objects to 100, identify which quantity is greatest using language such as ‘greater than’, ‘less than’ and ‘equal to’, and use inequality symbols to compare. They compare groups of sticks, oranges shared between Tom and Jade, and numbers represented with base 10 blocks, writing the correct symbol in a box each time. A reasoning question asks pupils to judge whether a character’s explanation for which number is greater is actually correct.
