Count each group and compare the two numbers: the one that comes later has more. Or match one from each group; the group with some left over has more.
morea bigger number of things
fewera smaller number of things
sameequal: the same number of things
comparelook at two groups to see which has more
Watch for: Picking the group that looks bigger or more spread out, not the one with more things. Mixing up more and fewer when the question switches. Counting one picture twice, so a group seems bigger than it is.
At home: At snack time, make two small piles of crackers. Ask which has more, then line them up in pairs to check.
