Let’s understand the idea.
- Use the same whole endpoint for both amounts.
- Name each exact missing part up to one.
- A larger missing part leaves a smaller selected amount; equal gaps leave equal amounts.
Something to notice
Have the learner point from each endpoint to one and explain why the gap comparison reverses.
Try it. Change it. Explain it.
Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.
You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
