CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.C is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.C.6

  Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and ...

• CCSS.Math.Content.K.CC.C.7

  Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students compare two groups with up to 10 objects and tell which has more, fewer, or the same number. They also compare two written numerals from 1 to 10.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly compare groups of up to 10 objects, even when the objects are arranged differently. They compare written numerals from 1 to 10 and explain using counting or matching.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think a spread-out group has more objects than a close-together group. They may confuse greater and less, or compare numeral shapes instead of values.

04

How to Assess It

Show 7 dots beside 5 dots, then show the numerals 4 and 9. Ask students to circle the greater amount in each pair and explain one choice.

1. 01

   Give partners two cups of counters, then have them build, count, and label which group has more, fewer, or the same.

2. 02

   Show two dot cards and ask, “How do you know which has more?” Record students’ counting and matching explanations.

3. 03

   Play Number War with numeral cards 1 to 10, with the student holding the greater number keeping both cards.

4. 04

   Set two snack plates with different numbers of crackers and ask students which plate has more, fewer, or the same.

• CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.B.3

  Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.

• CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.4

  Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
