Fascinating Fact:

Picture graphs help. Three stars, five stars, eight stars. Eight is most, three is least.

In KS1 Maths, children compare quantities in pictures, tables, or real objects. They learn to choose which group has the most, which has the fewest, and when two groups are equal.

  • Most: The group with the greatest number of items.
  • Fewest / Least: The group with the smallest number of items.
  • Pictogram: A simple chart that uses pictures to show how many items there are.
How do I find which group has the most or fewest?

Count each group carefully and compare the totals. The biggest total is the most; the smallest total is the fewest or least.

What if two groups have the same number?

If the totals match, they are equal. Neither group has the most or the fewest because they are the same size.

How can pictures help me compare in Year 1?

Use pictograms or objects. Line up pictures, count each group, and then decide which has more, which has less, or if they are equal.
