What should a pre-K child be able to do after this unit?

Most children can name common opposites, say which of two things is bigger, taller or longer, and tell which group has more or less. Grade levels vary by country and school; pre-K here means ages 4–5.

How can RepeatWatch help with opposites practice?

Pick Repeat one for an action song so your child can move along each time. Drag A and B around one pair of opposites, slow a comparing lesson to 0.75×, save favorite parts on keys 1–9 and set Stop after N loops.

Frequently asked questions

Why learn opposites before kindergarten math?

Words like more, less, longer and shorter are the language children use to compare numbers and measure in kindergarten. Hearing them in songs and acting them out helps the words stick before the math starts.

What comes after this playlist?

Kindergartners (ages 5–6) move on to comparing numbers with greater than and less than, and measuring length and weight. See our kindergarten math playlist for adding and subtracting within 10.
