🔢 Topic Summary
Understanding '1 More, 1 Less' is a fundamental concept in early math. When we say '1 more,' we mean adding 1 to a number. For example, 1 more than 5 is 6. When we say '1 less,' we mean subtracting 1 from a number. For example, 1 less than 5 is 4. This helps build number sense and prepares you for more advanced math!
