The boys are looking at the gold coins and trying to decide which of the sets has less in. Encourage your child to make up short sentences such as 'two coins is less than four coins'.

Time for some colouring of elephants, cats and ducks - but not too much as only the groups with less in have to be coloured. Encourage the use of the terms 'less than' and 'more than' during these exercises.

One less than: lighthouses.

Colour the box to show which has more or less: ducks.
