problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to allow students to connect language to mathematical representation, which will be useful when students need to compare quantities and numbers in later activities. In the synthesis, students have the opportunity to practice using the language “more” to compare quantities.
This warm-up gives students opportunities to make sense of a problem by acting it out first before thinking about how to solve the problem (MP1).

Activity Synthesis
“Did Lin or her brother put more things on the table? How do you know?” (Lin put more things on the table. When we acted it out, there were 2 plates that did not have any cups, so there were more plates. 8 is more than 6.)
“Tell your partner about 8 and 6 using ‘more.’” (8 is more than 6.)
“8 plates is more than 6 cups. 8 is more than 6.”
