Grade 1

What does more mean in maths?

more

A bigger amount than the other one.

For example

A bag with 6 marbles has more than a bag with 4.

In Grade 1

Children match things one to one to see which group has more, long before they compare written numbers.

Watch out for

Children often say the longer line has more, even when it is just spread out. Spreading things apart does not change how many there are.

Say it at home

Put out two small piles and ask which has more, then match them one for one to check.
