Comparing Numbers in IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics
This page collects Comparing Numbers resources for IB PYP Grade 1 Mathematics, within Number. Learners at this emerging stage work on deciding which number is greater or smaller, using the signs >, < and = and comparing groups of objects.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.
What learners practise
- Deciding which number is greater or smaller
- Using the signs >, < and =

For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use comparing numbers activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Little and often beats cramming: ten focused questions a day will build more fluency than one long session at the weekend.
