Gahhh Another Quiz?!

That's okay, though. I did vote for it to be on Wednesday.

Today we had to model the compare questions.
So this is what I have:

Compare Quantity Unknown:
Juan has 5 marbles. Connie has 8 more than Juan. How many marbles does Connie have?

Count out 5 blocks for Juan and count out 5 blocks for Connie. Then count out 8 more blocks and add them to Connie's 5. Count up Connie's total blocks for a total of 13.

Compare: Referent Unknown:
Connie has 13 marbles. She has 5 more marbles than Juan. How many marbles does Juan have?

Count out 13 blocks for Connie. Then pair up Juan's blocks until 5 of Connie's blocks are not paired up. Count Juan's blocks that are paired for the total of 8.

I'm still practicing though! :D

More to come, hopefully! :)
