Children work in pairs with a set of cards to discuss. Pairs or small groups could then share their findings with the class e.g. 31 - both baskets are the same but one is full and one is empty or 24 - both animals are bears, one is large and one is small. Did any other children find a card with a similar theme? Children could write the number of the card they are discussing and then one similarity and one difference they find. Cards can be sorted into different types of opposites e.g. cards 18, 29 and 31 are all Full and Empty themed. Children can make up their own cards with drawings or pasted pictures to show they understand the concepts.
