Teacher Resources Available for Comparison

Our comparison resources for Years 1 to 3, aligned with the Australian curriculum, introduce students to the concept of comparing objects, numbers, and quantities. Through interactive activities like comparing the height of objects, sizes of animals, or the number of items in groups, students learn to identify differences and similarities. These foundational exercises help students grasp basic comparison concepts such as bigger vs. smaller, longer vs. shorter, and more vs. less, setting the stage for more advanced skills.

For Years 4 to 7, our resources focus on expanding student's comparison skills to include more complex tasks such as comparing fractions, decimals, and measurements. Teachers can guide students through hands-on activities like measuring lengths, weighing objects, or comparing prices in mock shopping exercises. These resources encourage students to apply logical reasoning, improving their ability to compare and contrast data in various mathematical and real-world contexts, like time, distance, and volume.

In Years 8 to 10, students are introduced to advanced comparison techniques, such as comparing ratios, rates, and algebraic expressions. These resources provide challenges that encourage students to analyse data sets, make predictions, and solve problems that require critical thinking. Teachers can present students with real-world applications, such as comparing statistics in science or economics, to help them develop strong analytical skills and a deeper understanding of how comparisons are used to make informed decisions.
