I love your cards too!! You do a great job of scaffolding a tough skill. Donna, I was wondering, what do you think is the best way to keep our first graders from confusing how many more with some more or 2 more.
My group thinks when they see more they add just because they have seen it so much already, and it was add in those situations. Any suggestions for explicit language to separate the 2 problem types? Thanks ahead of time Amy Terry. I think exposure to it is a big factor. Donna-this is just what I was looking for! We have been trying several different ways to understand the wording of these types of story problems and your strategy and cards are perfect!
Donna, this is perfect for what I am working on with the child I am tutoring. How would you suggest how to teach her to write a number sentence with these comparison story problems? Since this is referring to comparison subtraction, it would be a subtraction number sentence.
This was SO helpful. I work with th special education, and had never encountered this problem before. The card over the same units will be my next try. Thank you so much. I find that Cuisenaire rods are an excellent tool for showing this as well. We line them up with one on top so you can see the number that is larger and then we find the rod that makes the difference.
For those firsties ready for it, we bridge the ten to help by figuring out the distance from each to ten and add those two distances together.
That helps them understand what they need to look for. It is a very hard concept in first! Your email address will not be published. Submit Comment. How Many More? Comparison Subtraction.

Who has washed the most? Noa was mailing two letters. The heavier letter The heavier letter had eight stamps. The lighter letter had five fewer stamps. How many stamps did the lighter letter have? So once again, try to pause this video and see if you can figure it out on your own. So the heavier letter, it's always useful to just, well, what are they telling us? So they are saying, just write down whatever information they give us. So the heavier letter has eight stamps, the lighter letter has five fewer stamps.
So do we know how many the lighter letter has? Well not immediately. That's what they're actually asking us. But it's five fewer. Five fewer than what? Five fewer than eight stamps. And so we could write that.
If we have eight stamps and we want to go five fewer than that Five fewer Well that's going to be eight minus five. This is five fewer than eight, which is going to be equal to three. The lighter letter has three stamps. Now another way you could have thought about it, The heavier letter had eight stamps.
