Comparing Groups in Kindergarten Math

The video tutorial covers lesson 4-1 on comparing groups up to 10 by matching. It begins with an introduction to the lesson, followed by a demonstration of comparing two groups of cubes. The teacher then explains how to compare groups of yellow and black chicks using one-to-one matching. The video includes guided practice where students draw lines and circles to identify which group is greater or less in number. Finally, students are given instructions for independent practice to reinforce the concepts learned.

What is the first step in comparing two groups of cubes?

• Count all the cubes in each group.

• Line up the cubes and match them one-to-one.

• Guess which group has more cubes.

• Mix the cubes together and then separate them.

How can you visually determine which group of cubes has more?

• By the shape of the cubes.

• By the length of the line of cubes.

• By the height of the stacks.

• By the color of the cubes.

What is the purpose of matching one yellow chick to one black chick?

• To determine which group has more chicks.

• To count the total number of chicks.

• To see which chick is bigger.

• To find out which chick is faster.

If you have more yellow chicks than black chicks, what can you conclude?

• The yellow chicks are smaller.

• The black chicks are faster.

• The black chicks are greater in number.

• The yellow chicks are greater in number.

In the guided practice, what do you do after drawing lines to match the chicks?

• Erase the lines.

• Color the chicks.

• Draw a circle around the group with more chicks.

• Count the total number of chicks.

What do you do if there are no more chicks to compare in the guided practice?

• Draw a circle around the group with fewer chicks.

• Stop and count the remaining chicks.

• Start over from the beginning.

• Add more chicks to the group.

In the further guided practice, what is the focus of the comparison?

• Identifying the group with more chicks.

• Counting the total number of chicks.

• Identifying the group with fewer chicks.

• Matching chicks by color.

What should you do if you cannot compare any more chicks in the further guided practice?

• Draw a circle around the group with fewer chicks.

• Count the remaining chicks.

• Erase the lines.

• Add more chicks to the group.

In the independent practice, what are you comparing?

• Groups of cubes.

• Groups of chicks.

• Groups of toys.

• Groups of buckets.

What is the final task in the independent practice?

• Draw a group of buckets that is fewer in number.

• Draw a group of buckets that is greater in number.

• Match the buckets by color.

• Count the total number of buckets.
