What this lesson shows
Baseball has 6 and soccer has 3: 6 − 3 = 3 more. Fewer asks the same subtraction.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: soccer 3, baseball 7, swimming 4. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Match the two rows
- Count the ones with no match
- Bigger minus smaller
Helping at home
Line the two rows up and match them face by face. The faces with no match are how many more. How many fewer is the same subtraction.
If your kid gets stuck
Match the rows face by face.
