 To help a child learn about more, less, and equal, you can play a game with small objects. You can place a small group of objects in front of the child, and they can count them. Then you can set down another small group and ask the child, is this group more, less, or equal to the first one? The child can count the objects and give their answer. To help the child learn, you can make the second group sometimes more, sometimes less, and sometimes equal to the first group. Understanding more, less, and equal will help prepare the child for learning to add and subtract.
