Counters or small objects (e.g., buttons, beans).
Small containers..Provide each student with a set of counters or small objects.
Place two small containers in front of each student.
Instruct students to place a different number of counters in each container (e.g., 5 counters in one, 8 counters in the other).
Ask students to compare the quantities and determine which container has more counters and which has less.
Discuss the results and reinforce the concepts of more and less.
