Scarlett put her counter on four
and then moved it forward three spaces. She’s saying seven is three more
than four. Then we got a picture of underneath
saying what is four more than two. Help Scarlett find the missing
number.
In the first picture, we can see
that Scarlett has added two numbers together. We’re told that she’s put her
counter on four. And we can see this on the number
track, can’t we? And then she’s moved it forward
three spaces: one, two, three. So what Scarlett has done here she
started with four, she’s added on three, and she’s found the answer to four plus
three, which is seven. Seven was the number that she ended
up on. And that’s why she can say seven is
three more than four.
Underneath we can see another
picture of a number track, and this time Scarlett is going to add some more numbers
together. She says what is four more than
two. And we can see that Scarlett has
put the counter on two, ready to begin. So, two is her starting number, and
she wants to find four more than two. So the calculation she’s working
out is two plus four. What is four more than two? We need to move the counter forward
four spaces: one, two, three, four. We’ve ended on the number six, and
so Scarlett can say six is four more than two. Two plus another four is six. We found the answer by counting
on. Scarlett’s missing number is
six.
