How Many More?
A different kind of take away
‘How many more?’ problems compare two amounts. We take away to find the difference!
Tom has 13 marbles. Amy has 8. How many MORE does Tom have?
13 − 8 = 5 more
‘How many more?’ means find the difference by taking away. Tom has 13, Amy has 8, so Tom has 5 more (13 − 8). Comparing amounts is a type of subtraction!
