Find the group that has more

💡 How it plays and why it helps

Shown three dots and one dot, most Pre-K children point to the three before you finish the question. Find the group that has more starts there on purpose. Each round shows five cards with two small groups of colored dots: three on one side, one or two on the other. The instruction is read aloud, and your child taps the group with more dots. Every answer is checked and explained: 3 is more than 1, so this group has more dots.

Small groups like these can be seen at a glance, so the game can focus on the word itself: more means the bigger number. It is a first step toward comparing numbers too big to see at once. Cards with three against two are closer, and that is where counting starts to matter.

The likely slip is on those three-against-two cards, where both groups look busy and the choice can feel like a coin toss. Ask your child to count each group aloud, then ask, "Which number is bigger, two or three?" Point to each dot. Praise the counting: "You counted both groups before choosing."
