๐ Topic Summary
Understanding 'how many more' and 'how many less' using graphs helps us compare different amounts easily. A graph uses bars or pictures to show quantities, and by looking at these, we can quickly see which category has more or less than another. This skill is super useful for making comparisons and understanding the world around us!
For example, if a graph shows 5 apples and 3 bananas, we can see that there are more apples than bananas. To find out exactly how many more, we subtract the smaller number (bananas) from the larger number (apples). So, $5 - 3 = 2$. There are 2 more apples than bananas.
