Winter Comparing Numbers Worksheets

About this resource

A comparing-numbers kit for kindergarten and first grade, winter-dressed with snowflakes,

mittens and other winter pictures: greater than, less than, and equal to, practiced three

ways — with a ten frame, with counted winter pictures, and with numbers alone — plus the

record-keeping a classroom or small group needs around it.

EVERYTHING INSIDE (22 pages)

• 20 ten-frame comparison items across 4 pages — within 10 and within 20 (a double ten frame),

circle or write the symbol that compares the two frames

• 12 winter-picture comparison items across 2 pages — two counted groups of snowflakes, snowmen,

mittens and icicles (winter objects, not named on the page), within 15

• 12 numeral comparison items on 1 page — no pictures at all, the quick, abstract version,

within 20

• 1 answer key, generated from the same numbers every worksheet uses
• 1 practice tracker (one student, four comparison formats), 1 progress snapshot (a bar graph

rolling the four scores into one picture), and 1 class grid (whole class), type-in or print

• 1 family update — a note home with blanks for the week's formats and the district's own

wording

• 1 home practice page — a second, self-contained practice set for a family to use together,

with no school materials needed

• 1 filled example — an invented student, every number checked against its own table
• 1 phrase bank — progress-note, family-note, next-step and talk-first starters
• 1 binder cover with a spine label and six divider tabs
• Start Here, a how-it-works page, and a contents page that gives every page number

Every Symbol Computed, Never Typed

Every "greater than," "less than" or "equal to" in this file — on a worksheet page or on the

answer key — is computed by comparing the two numbers themselves in code. There is no second,

hand-typed key.

Winter Pictures, Winter Dressing Only

Three Ways To Compare

Ten-frame pages show two frames side by side — count the filled squares in each, then compare.

Winter-picture pages show two counted groups of snowflakes, mittens and other winter objects,

no frame — a quicker, less structured version of the same task. The numeral page shows only

the two numbers, no picture at all — the most abstract version, for a student ready to compare

without counting an object first.

Type In, Or Print

The name and date lines, the symbol lines, the tracker, the snapshot, the class grid, the family

update and the home page are type-in fields in any PDF reader; every ten frame and winter

picture is always printed, never typed. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides, Google

Docs or PowerPoint file.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, self-contained and resource rooms, and any small group

working on comparing numbers below or above grade level.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A comparing-numbers practice set with winter-themed pictures and the record-keeping around it.

It is not a full math curriculum, not an assessment, and not a claim about any student's age,

grade level or rate of progress. The tracker has a blank line for your own scoring criteria.
