The concept of more or less, with its accompanying signs, is often very confusing for children. Which of the following strategies helps crystallize this concept?
  1. Show a large candy bar and a small one. To reinforce the concept of more and less, ask the children which candy bar they would like to have.
  2. Provide a worksheet with several problems relating to more or less.
  3. Use craft sticks or blocks to count the objects.
  4. Make a word problem.
Explanation
Answer: A-Start by showing large and small candy bars, or some other desirable object. Discuss the concept of more or less at length to make sure the children understand it. When teaching the symbols for more or less, ask the children to identify which of two numbers is more. Write that number first. Write the lesser number next. Now make two dots next to the larger number and one dot next to the smaller number. Connect the dots and you’ll have the sign for less or more.
