How we explain it

Children can open this short lesson before they practise.

Read the title and labels first.
Count the pictures or read the bar for each kind.
To compare, subtract: bigger count minus smaller.

Example: 5 chose apples and 3 chose pears. How many more chose apples? Apples: 5. Pears: 3. 5 − 3 = 2. Answer: 2 more
