# How much more?


## Access

Show, draw, type, sign, use your usual communication or direct an agreeing helper. Choose quiet/private work, switch a route, pause, pass or finish. One useful part is enough. A helper can read the exact words or scribe your choices; supplying an operation, count, regrouping or reason is mathematical help and is named. No speed, neatness, speech, handling or device requirement.

## Adult model

987→1000 adds 13; 1000→1200 adds 200; 1200→1203 adds 3. The gap is 216 labels: 987 + 216 = 1203. The difference is a count comparison, not evidence the larger design is preferable.

## Child direction

Help two made-up teams compare their counts without calling one better. Pick one route. Show what the numbers mean, try a way, then check one result. You can stop after a useful part.

## Common tangle

the difference is added to both counts; check the roles and equivalent quantities, rather than memorising a printed answer.

## Day

55

## Different guided practice

Two invented folders contain 1501 and 1297 cards. Guide +3 to 1300,+200 to 1500,+1 to 1501 =204. Ask whether taking 1297 away from 1501 gives the same difference.

## Check and teach the entry relationship

Ask how many more 37 is than 29; count 29→30(+1)→37(+7)=8. Both original collections still exist. If comparison is unclear, use 7 and 4 labels side by side.

## Hook

Help two made-up teams compare their counts without calling one better.

## Materials

Broad paper, labelled place-value/part-whole/number-line alternatives as suitable; optional familiar safe counters; usual communication. No hundreds of loose marks, purchases or physical handling required. Keep adult model and own work separate.

## Next ordinary teaching

If the difference is added to both counts, keep a bar for each whole. Teach 46 compared with 39 gives 7, check 39+7=46; invite 81 compared with 68 gives 13.

## Complete fictional source

Two fictional poster designs require 1203 labels and 987 labels. What is the difference in their requirements? No labels have been removed.

## One own invitation

A fictional score sheet lists 1002 and 875 points. Find the difference and explain its meaning.

## Purpose

Find a difference by counting up; distinguish comparison from a removal event.

1. 
### Access

Show, draw, type, sign, use your usual communication or direct an agreeing helper. Choose quiet/private work, switch a route, pause, pass or finish. One useful part is enough. A helper can read the exact words or scribe your choices; supplying an operation, count, regrouping or reason is mathematical help and is named. No speed, neatness, speech, handling or device requirement.

### Complete task

Compare fictional 52 and 38 game points. Show the gap, keeping both scores.

### Entry or access

## Session stages


1. 
### Instruction

Help two made-up teams compare their counts without calling one better. Read the source. Ask what the numbers count and the wanted quantity. Ask how many more 37 is than 29; count 29→30(+1)→37(+7)=8. Both original collections still exist. If comparison is unclear, use 7 and 4 labels side by side.

## What to look for

The difference and count-up bridge are correct and interpreted as comparison, not a performed removal.

## After own work: staff possibility

127 points: +25 to 900,+100 to 1000,+2. No claim about real players.

## Status

Proposed 35-minute shape, unpiloted and freely reorderable; resource day not school calendar requirement.
