Instruction: Red: 2+2+2=6, Blue: 3+3=6, Compare totals
Red
2+2+2=6
Blue
3+3=6
Equal?
Yes!
Step 1: Calculate first addition

2 + 2 + 2 = 6 (color 6 shapes red)

Step 2: Calculate second addition

3 + 3 = 6 (color 6 shapes blue)

Step 3: Compare totals

Both equal 6 shapes

Step 4: Observe the pattern

Different groupings can equal the same total

Red: 2+2+2=6, Blue: 3+3=6
Both have 6 shapes - they are equal!
Final answer:

Both have 6 shapes, so they are equal: 2+2+2 = 3+3 = 6

Key concepts:

• Comparison analysis: Different groupings can yield the same result

• Visual comparison: Colors make it easy to compare totals

• Pattern discovery: Different ways to reach the same sum

Comparison Tip: Colors help you see differences and similarities!
Discovery Tip: Different groupings can equal the same total.

Instruction: 4 groups of 2 = 8 total, color 8 shapes green
Addition
2+2+2+2=8
Multiplication
4×2=8
Color
Green
Step 1: Identify the groups

4 groups of 2 shapes each

Step 2: Calculate addition

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
