1. Review
Yesterday we have discussed about
identifying a number that is one more or one
 less of a given number, right?  Yes teacher!

So let us recall our lesson last week by

answering the following questions.

1. Kyla has 8 dogs; her brother Kyle gave (The students will raise their hand)
her 1 adorable dog on her birthday. How
many dogs does Kyla have in all?  9 dogs.

2. Jacob has 12 fish in his aquarium. One of

his fish died. How many fish are left in all?
 11 fish.
3. What one MORE of 20?

4. What is one LESS of 54?

 21.
5. If Maria has 5 oranges and she gave one
 53.
orange to her classmate Jennie, how
many oranges are left for Maria?
 There are 4 oranges left for
Good job class! Now that we are done
Maria.
recalling our past lesson, we are now going to
study and discuss about visualizes,
represents, and compare two sets using the
expressions less than, more than, and as
many as.

Are you ready to listen to our discussion?

 Yes teacher.
2. Developmental Activities

(Post 5 different pictures that will compare an

object another.)

Look and observe the pictures, what have you

noticed?
(A student will answer the question)
You are right! Some pictures are bigger than
the other, some are small, some are heavier
than the other one, and some are tall.

On the first picture, can someone tell me the

difference between the two ball?
 The first ball is bigger than the
Good job! What about the second picture?
second ball.
Great! And what about the third picture?
 The second book is smaller than the
first book.
  There are many birds in the first
picture than the other one.
Fantastic! What about the fourth picture?
 The boy is taller than the baby.
You are right! And lastly for the fifth picture?
 The tiger is bigger than the cat.
We use these words of comparison when we
are comparing a thing or an object to another
object.

We compare objects from another based on (The students will listen to the teacher)
their appearance, based on their count, based
on their size, length, weight, and height.

3. Discussion

Now let us learn to compare object based on

their quantity or number.

(Post a picture of two set of objects)

We have here two objects, with different

quantities or number. One set of an object is
fewer than the other set and we use the
expression “less than”. The first expression to
be used in comparing quantity or numbers in
a set is “less than”.

We use the word “less than” when the first

set appears to be fewer or lesser than the
second set.
(The students will listen as the teacher
For example, the first set is one apple, while discusses the lesson)
the second set are two bananas. Since the
first set is fewer than the other set, we use
the expression “less than”. So, one apple is
less than two bananas.

Another example, the first set are two

candies, and the second set are seven
balloons. Since the first set is lesser in
quantity than the second set, then we use
“less than”. So, two candies in less than
seven balloons.

Next example, the first set are four dogs, and

the second set are eight cats. Since the set of
dogs is fewer than the set of cats, what  Less than.
expression are we going to use?
Correct! We will use less than because four
dogs are fewer than eight cats. So, four dogs
are less than eight cats.

The next expression that we can use in

comparing quantity is “more than”. We use
the expression “more than” when the first set
appears to be greater, plentiful, and more
than the second set.

Example, in the first set there are five milks

and on the second set there are two breads.
Since the first set is five in quantity, while the
second set is two, we compare them by using
the expression “more than”. Therefore, five
milks are more than two breads.

Another example, the first set has twelve pink

dresses, while on the second set there are
seven blue shirts. Since the first set appears
to be greater in quantity than the second set
therefore, we use “more than” as expression.
So, twelve pink dresses are more than the
seven blue shirts.

Next example, the first set has nine pencils,

and the second set has three notebooks,
what expression are we going to use?  More than.

That is right! Because nine pencils are more

than the three notebooks.

And for the last expression, we have “as

many as”. We use the expression “as many
as” when both two sets are equal or has the
same quantity or number.

Example, I have here in the first set five

flowers, and I also have five mangoes on the
second set. Since both the first set and the
second set have the same quantity or number
or is equal with each other, therefore we use
the expression “as many as”. So, five flowers
are as many as five mangoes.

Another example, there are thirteen dolls on

the first set, and there are also thirteen
robots on the second. What expression are
we going to use?  As many as.
That is right! Because both the thirteen dolls
and the thirteen robots have the same
quantity and is equal in number with each
other, so we use the expression “as many
as”. Thirteen dolls are as many as thirteen
robots.

Last example, there are twenty grapes in the

first set, and another twenty kiwis on the
second set, can someone in the class guess
what would be the answer for our last
example? (Students will raise their hands)

(Call someone in the class)

 Twenty grapes are as many as

Correct! Because both twenty grapes and twenty kiwis.
twenty kiwis have the same quantity or
number so we will use the expression “as
many as”.

1. Guide Practice

I will show you a set of pictures picture

and you must determine the correct
expression whether it is “less than”,
“more than”, or “as many as”. (Guide and the students in answering the
guide practice)
(Show the pictures to the class and let
them answer on their own)

2. Group Activity
Okay class, now we will have a group
game activity, I will group you into 3 and
each group has 5 members. This game is
called which is which. I have prepared an
interactive game and each group will
answer accordingly to the questions that
is given there. The instructions are written
in the game so just read it and answer
them correctly.
(Each group will be given 30 minutes to
finish answering the activity)
(Checking of the work of each group)
3. Generalization
Standards to be followed in Group
Activity.
 Read and follow the directions carefully.
 Work quietly.
 Cooperate with the group.
 Maintain cleanliness and orderliness in
your working area.
(Each group will answer the interactive
activity accordingly)
(Guide the students in answering the
game)
 Learning how to visualize and compare a
set or an object helps us know the
difference between the quantity or
number of a set to another set. It is very
important that a person should know the
difference of a quantity and a set to
another quantity in another set to be able
to understand how the “less than”, “more (The students will listen to the teacher)
than” and “as many as” works.

4. Individual Activity
Provide each student a work sheet that
compares two sets using the expression
“less than”, “more than” and “as many
as”. (Guide the students in answering the
worksheet)
5. Assimilation/Application
Board work:
Write the correct expression that should
be used in a sentence.
