We have compared groups of amount using the vocabulary fewer, more and the same. The children used counters, cubes or compare bears to make two groups and then verbally said if the groups were fewer, more or the same - “I have fewer counters than cubes. I have more cubes than counters.” They all used the vocabulary well either in single words or in a full sentence!
