Comparing Sets with the Same Number

In this video tutorial, students learn to compare numbers up to five using matching and counting techniques. The lesson begins with an introduction to comparing numbers and the use of the equal sign. It then demonstrates how to match counters in sets, compare the number of horses to apples, and match seats to children. The tutorial also covers comparing children to cookies, emphasizing the concept of one-to-one matching. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next lesson on the concept of 'greater than.'
