Which groups have the same
number of fruits?
When two groups contain the
same number, we can say that they are equal. And this question is getting us
to look at the groups of bananas and strawberries and to find which groups are
equal, which are the same size. We’ve got three possible
answers to choose from. Is it these groups? Or maybe these groups are
equal? What about these groups? To find the answer, we’re gonna
have to count the number of bananas and strawberries each time. Let’s start with our first pair
of groups. How many bananas are there? We can count one, two, three,
four, five, six bananas. Let’s write the digit six to
remind us that there are six bananas.
Now, let’s count the group of
strawberries. We can see one, two, three,
four, five, six. This is not gonna be the same
number, is it? Seven, eight strawberries. The numbers six and eight are
different. The groups don’t contain the
same number of fruits. Six is less than eight. Eight is more than six. They’re not the same. Let’s try comparing our second
pair of groups. First, bananas. There are one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 bananas. We can write a one and a zero
to show the number 10. How many strawberries are
there? This looks very similar to the
group of strawberries above. There are one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight. So, we have 10 bananas and
eight strawberries.
Do these groups have the same
number of fruits? No, the number 10 and the
number eight are different numbers. We know that eight is less than
10. 10 is more than eight. These groups are not the
same. There’s only one possible
answer left. Let’s hope this pair of groups
is the same. We can count one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 bananas. Now, if our second group is the
same, how many strawberries should there be in it? Well, we need that to be
10. Let’s count our
strawberries. One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Look how the numbers are the
same. We have 10 bananas and 10
strawberries. These groups are equal. The groups that show the same
number of fruits are those that show 10 bananas and 10 strawberries.
