This EYFS Comparison Cards Learning Activity enables children to compare amounts of objects and develop the skill of subitising. Each card has two sets of objects; these may be different or equal amounts. Children are encouraged to identify which group has more, less, the same and so on. Children can count the amounts to make the comparisons but subitising is encouraged where possible.
