How to start
Listen for more, fewer, or the same number, then compare both groups. Choose the matching side or equality answer. In the final level, add bubbles to the smaller group until the groups match.
What your child practices
Comparing quantities, recognizing equality, and finding how many more make two groups equal.
Make it easier or try a challenge
A gentler start
Use the first level and point to each object once while counting. Say the question again before your child chooses.
A little more thinking
In an adding task, predict the missing amount before adding bubbles. Pair the groups to show why your prediction works.
These are ways to support or extend play together. Your child can point, act, or explain; saying the answer aloud is optional.
Little hints & worksheet answers
Give each object on one side a partner on the other. Which objects have no partner?
