Teacher Guide
Introduce the two key phrases 'more than' and 'less than' and use examples in the classroom to help the students understand them. For example, place some pencils in front of one student and place less pencils in front of another. Say 'She has more pencils than him', then count the pencils and calculate the difference so as to say for example 'She has 2 more than him', 'he has 2 less than her'.
Have the students read the sentences on the worksheet and calculate the correct answer for each. Check their spelling as they fill out the word find and have them read the letters out loud and check their pronunciation of the letters.
