Math Story: Compare Two Amounts
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: representing and solving a how-many-more comparison
1
Mia has 9 shells. Omar has 6. Draw two bars starting at the same edge.
2
Circle the extra part of Mia's bar.
3
Write how many more shells Mia has.
4
A class has 4 red markers and 7 blue markers. Which has fewer?
5
Write a subtraction equation for one comparison.
6
Make two bars that differ by 3 for an adult to compare.
- Align bars at one starting edge so the unmatched length shows the difference.
- Read the question carefully: more, fewer, and how many more are different requests.
- Ask the child to name both quantities before subtracting.
