P2 Math - General Discussion

P2Q: Alice has 380 red and yellow marbles.

110 marbles are yellow.
how many more red marbles than yellow marbles does she have?

Query:
i would like to ask, besides the ‘Part-Whole Model’ to find out the number of red marbles, do we still have to draw the "Comparison Model" to find out how many more red than yellow marbles?

TIA.

hmm my method of drawing is different. I will draw the comparison model.
But i will illustrate the total by a big curvy curve. maybe times have changed. are models given marks? otherwise i presume model to be drawn only to help you see the relationship.

There are some simple books on Maths in the public libraries - they cover topics like counting, telling the time, money, shapes etc...in the non-fiction section.
