Anthony and Chloe baked nine cookies to
take to a party. Their sister ate two of them. They need to take six cookies to the
party. How many cookies are left? Nine take away two equals what. They need to take six cookies to the
party. Pick the correct symbol to compare the
number they have left to the number they need. Nine take away two is less than six,
equal to six, or greater than six. Are there enough cookies left?
They had nine cookies, but they ate
two. To find out how many cookies they have
left, we need to take away two from nine. If we have nine squares and we take away
two, there are seven left. Nine take away two is seven. Now that we know that nine take away two
is seven, we can compare our two numbers. Is seven less than, equal to, or greater
than six? Seven is one more than six. So the correct symbol is greater
than. Seven is greater than six. Nine take away two is greater than
six. We know that the children need to take
six cookies to the party, and they have seven left. We know that seven is greater than
six. Do they have enough cookies to take to
the party? Yes, they do.
In this question, we were asked to
compare nine take away two and the number six. We calculated nine take away two, which
is seven. And we know that seven is greater than
six. So we knew the correct symbol to compare
nine take away two and six is the greater than symbol because nine take away two is greater
than six. Antony and Chloe needed six cookies to
take to the party, and they have seven. Are there enough cookies left? Yes, seven is greater than six. Nine take away two is greater than
six.
