Understanding comparison word problems

Comparison word problems give two quantities and ask how many more one group has than the other, or how many fewer. Learners read the two amounts, match them up, and find the difference between them. This matters because comparison is a distinct kind of subtraction: nothing is being taken away, yet subtraction is still the operation that answers how much bigger one amount is than another.

For example, a story might say Ava has 10 shells and Ben has 6, and ask how many more Ava has. The child subtracts 10 − 6 = 4 more shells. A common mistake is to add the numbers because the problem feels like it involves two groups together. A helpful tip is to picture the two amounts as two towers side by side and ask how much taller one tower is: that extra height is the difference, which you find by subtracting the smaller amount from the larger.
