Quantifiers – Grade 3 Lesson
Learning Objective: Students will learn to use quantifiers (words that tell how much or how many)
correctly in sentences.
What Are Quantifiers?
Quantifiers are words we use to show quantity — how much or how many of something there is.
Two Types of Quantifiers
1. For Countable Nouns (things we can count: apples, pens, dogs)
Use: many, a few, some, several
2. For Uncountable Nouns (things we cannot count: water, sugar, milk)
Use: much, a little, some
