Today I am practising: using subtraction to compare two groups
1
Mira has 14 stickers and Ben has 9. How many more does Mira have?
2
Draw 11 marks and 7 marks in two rows. Pair them. How many are unpaired?
3
A red tower has 16 cubes and a blue tower has 12. How many fewer cubes are in the blue tower?
4
Write both a 'more' sentence and a 'fewer' sentence about 15 and 10.
5
Sam says nothing was taken away, so subtraction cannot compare 13 and 8. Show how subtraction helps.
6
Create two groups with a difference of 4 and no more than 20 in either group. Write a comparison.
- Line up paired objects to make the extra part visible.
- Read the comparison both ways using more and fewer.
- Ask the child to label which group is larger before calculating.
