1 Teaching the Lesson

� Math Message Follow-Up WHOLE-CLASS ACTIVITY

(Math Masters, p. 436)

Algebraic Thinking Use the Math Message problem to start a discussion of comparison number stories. Comparison stories involve the difference between two quantities. The Math Message number story compares two things that are measured.

You can also compare things that are counted.

Example:

� Beth scored 14 points. Ivy scored 8 points. So Beth scored 6 more points than Ivy. (Alternately, Ivy scored 6 fewer points than Beth.) The difference in points scored is 6 points.

Draw a picture on the board and show how children can solve the Math Message problem by matching the two quantities one to one. (See margin.) Discuss the meaning of the word quantity in the diagram. The quantity that is left unmatched is the difference. In the Math Message problem, the difference tells how many more inches Fish A is than Fish B.

Display a transparency of a comparison diagram (Math Masters, page 436) or draw one on the board. In it, write the numbers 14, 6, and 8. (See margin.) Say that the diagram is a convenient way to represent the fish comparison story. The longer Quantity cell shows the larger number of inches of Fish A. The shorter Quantity cell shows the smaller number of inches of Fish B. The Difference cell shows how many more inches Fish A is than Fish B.

Getting Started

Math Message Fish A is 14 inches long. Fish B is 6 inches long.

How many more inches long is Fish A than Fish B?

8 inches

Home Link 6�1 Follow-Up Ask volunteers to share how they found the answer to each problem and why they chose the order in which they added the three numbers.

Mental Math and Reflexes Write multiple-addend problems like the following on the board. Encourage children to look for combinations that will make the addition easier.

3 + 9 + 7 = ? 19

14 + 8 + 6 = ? 28

6 + 4 + 8 + 2 = ? 20

? = 21 + 5 + 9 35

34 + 6 + 7 = ? 47

57 + 3 + 10 + 5 = ? 75

? = 8 + 5 + 12 + 5 30

22 + 28 + 8 + 3 = ? 61

63 + 27 + 9 = ? 99

Adjusting the Activity Whenever a comparison diagram is

provided, children should always write the

known and missing information (shown with

a question mark) on the diagram. Have

children write words or short phrases on the

diagram as a reminder of what the numbers

mean. For the Math Message problem, the

words “Fish A” and “Fish B” might be written

as reminders.

AUDITORY � KINESTHETIC � TACTILE � VISUAL

Write a number model that represents the problem using a question mark to represent what children have to find out to solve the problem (or what they don’t know). Tell them that the number story might be modeled using any of four possible number models. The choice of a number model depends on how a child thinks about the problem. Write the remaining number models below the diagram (in all, 14 – 6 = ?, 14 – ? = 8, ? + 6 = 14, and 6 + ? = 14). Then, below the open sentences, write number models for the solution to the problem with 8 substituted for the question mark.

� Solving Comparison WHOLE-CLASS ACTIVITY

Number Stories(My Reference Book, pp. 110 and 111)

Algebraic Thinking You may wish to read about comparison diagrams in My Reference Book, pages 110 and 111 with your class. Display a comparison diagram. Work with the children to solve several comparison stories.

Example 1

Joey scored 30 points. Max scored 10 points. How many more points did Joey score than Max? 20 points

Fill in the comparison diagram as shown in the margin. Write ? for the difference, which is the number to be found. Invite children to share mental-arithmetic strategies for finding the difference between 30 and 10. Sample strategies:

� Think, “What must I add to 10 to get 30?”

� Think of the comparison diagram as a Fact Triangle. Think, “30 - 10 is the difference I want.”

As children share their solution strategies, write a number model below the diagram to represent one of the strategies using ? for the unknown number. Then, below the open sentence, write a number model for the solution to the problem with 20 substituted for the question mark. For example, for the first strategy, write 10 + ? = 30 and 10 + 20 = 30.

Example 2

A radio costs $47. A watch costs $20. How much more does the radio cost? $27

This problem is similar to the previous example. With the class, fill in the comparison diagram as shown in the margin. Invite children to share their strategies for solving the problem.

As children share their solution strategies, write a number model below the diagram to represent one of the strategies using ? for the unknown number. Then, below the open sentence, write a number model for the solution to the problem with $27 substituted for the question mark.

Example 3

A radio costs $47. A calculator costs $12 less than the radio. How much does the calculator cost? $35 Fill in the diagram as shown in the margin.

Lesson 6�2 387

This example differs from the previous ones—this time, the smaller quantity is not known, but the difference is known. Make sure that children understand this. The strategies for solving this problem are the same as before, except that counting up is replaced by counting back (start at 47, count back 12).

� Solving Comparison PARTNER ACTIVITY

Number Stories(Math Journal 1, pp. 134 and 135)

Algebraic Thinking Partners complete the problems on the journal pages. Check that children are recording the known information in the comparison diagram and that they are writing a question mark to represent the unknown number. For most problems, the difference will be the unknown number. For some problems, however, the difference will be known, and one of the two quantities will be unknown.

Ongoing Assessment: Journal page 134

Problems 1

and 2 �Recognizing Student Achievement

Use journal page 134, Problems 1 and 2 to assess children’s ability to solve

comparison number stories. Children are making adequate progress if they can

solve the problems using the number grid, number line, drawings, or manipulatives.

Some children may be able to write a number model that summarizes the problem.

Others may be able to do Problems 5, 6, and 7 with an unknown quantity.

[Operations and Computation Goal 4]

Ongoing Assessment: Informing Instruction

Watch for children who have difficulty writing a number model; have them think

of 17, 8, and 9 as the numbers on a Fact Triangle. Ask them what addition and

subtraction sentences they can make using the three numbers.

Children may use number lines, number grids, or any other learning tool. It is fine for children to draw pictures and doodles.

Today your child learned about a device that is useful when solving number stories. Wecall it a comparison diagram. Diagrams like these can help your child organize theinformation in a problem. When the information is organized, it is easier to decide whichoperation (�, �, �, or �) to use to solve the problem.

Comparison diagrams are used to represent problems in which two quantities are given andthe question is how much more or less one quantity is than the other (the difference).

Example 1: There are 49 fourth gradersand 38 third graders. How many more fourthgraders are there than third graders?

Note that the number of fourth graders isbeing compared with the number of thirdgraders.

• Answer: There are 11 more fourth gradersthan third graders.

• Possible number models: Children who thinkof the problem in terms of subtractionwill write 49 � 38 � 11. Other childrenmay think of the problem in terms ofaddition: “Which number added to 38will give me 49?” They will write thenumber model as 38 � 11 � 49.

Example 2: There are 53 second graders.There are 10 more second graders thanfirst graders. How many first graders are there?

Note that sometimes the difference is knownand that one of the two quantities is unknown.

• Answer: There are 43 first graders.

• Possible number models: 53 � 10 � 43 or 10 � 43 � 53

For Problems 1 and 2, ask your child to explain the number model that he or she wrote.Also ask your child to explain the steps needed to solve Problems 4–6.

READINESS PARTNER ACTIVITY

� Doing a Penny Grab Activity 5–15 Min

To provide experience with comparing numbers using a concrete model, have children do the following Penny Grab activity.

1. Place a pile of pennies or other counters on a table between two children.

2. Each child grabs a handful of pennies, counts them, and records the amount.

3. Partners compare their amounts by lining up the pennies side-by-side and finding the difference.

4. Partners work together to record number models that describe the lined-up pennies. For example, 9 - 6 = 3.

Encourage such remarks as, “I have 3 more than you. You have 3 less than I do.”

The difference between 9 and 6 is 3.
