Concepts like more-less, long-short, far-near, big-small, etc. are :

  • A.Vague terms for comparison.
  • B.Antonyms, not necessary for learning mathematics.
  • C.Simply English language adjectives.
  • D.Important pre-number concepts.

Answer: D

They are important pre-number concepts.

Before children can count meaningfully, they need ideas of comparison and relationship: more and less, long and short, big and small, near and far, along with classification, seriation and one-to-one correspondence. These pre-number concepts are the foundation on which number sense and measurement are built.

They are not vague terms or mere English adjectives or antonyms. Comparing quantities and sizes is mathematical thinking in its earliest form.
