Let’s understand the idea.
- Keep the whole measure the same in both pictures.
- Repartition both amounts into equal-sized units without changing the selected amount.
- Compare selected units and connect the picture to less than, equal to or greater than.
Something to notice
Ask the learner to point out the whole, one new unit and both selected quantities. A displayed count alone does not show independent explanation.
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.
