Which picture has one more egg than
six?
This question is all about finding
one more than a number, and the number we’re given at the end of the question is
six. We need to find one more than
six. Can you imagine putting six eggs
into a frying pan? Maybe not because that sounds like
quite a lot of eggs. But imagine you have and then
imagine you put one more egg in. Perhaps somebody comes for
breakfast that you weren’t expecting. It’s going to make a new number of
eggs. And we’re looking for that
number. Now, before we start, have a quick
look at each of the frying pans with eggs in it. There’s no need to count the eggs
yet, but sometimes we can recognize numbers without actually counting.
One of the frying pans has got six
eggs in exactly. Can you spot which one it is
without actually counting? If you can, we could use this to
give us a good idea of which pan it might be that contains one more egg than
six. Well, whether you spotted the six
eggs or not, let’s start with this first pan. What would you guess? Do you think this has got one more
egg than six? Looks like quite a few eggs in this
pan, doesn’t it? Well, let’s count them. And as we do to make sure we don’t
count any egg more than once, let’s cross them out as we say each number, one, two,
three, four, five, six. Well, we can stop counting here,
can’t we, because we can see that this pan doesn’t contain one more than six. We can see another three eggs we
need to count. This pan contains three more than
six.
Let’s try our second pan, one, two,
three, four, five, six exactly. This was the pan we mentioned at
the start. Perhaps you spotted it already. Because we know that this frying
pan has six eggs in it, we can use it to help compare to the others. For example, if we compare our six
eggs to the next picture, we can see straightaway that the next picture is going to
show less than six eggs, isn’t it? We’d better count just in case,
one, two, three, four, five. We were right. We’d need to add some more eggs in
this frying pan to get one more than six, wouldn’t we? We’ve only got two more pictures to
choose from. The first one contains one, two,
three, four, five, six, and we can see one more egg than six. It looks like this picture is the
right answer. And if we just check our last
picture and we cross off six eggs, we can see that there are two more than six eggs
in this last picture.
So we know that the picture that
shows one more than six is this one. We’ve answered the question, but we
haven’t said what number one more than six is. Let’s find out just to end
with. In this pan, there are one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven. Seven is one more than six. It’s the next number that comes
after six when we’re counting. The picture that has one more egg
than six is the one that shows seven eggs.
