Comparing sets to 20

Problem pool

Core · Canonical TaskForm · Object-set compare choice · Choose One

Watch: Choose left set, right set, or same bridge for more/fewer/same. The shell keeps the complete question visible, reserves the canonical reply band, and reveals proof on the same task objects.

Misread: Child action: Choose left set, right set, or same bridge for more/fewer/same.

Curriculum: Mapped to Comparing sets to 20.

Given two visible groups with at most 20 objects each, decide which group has more, fewer, or the same amount using matching, counting, or grouping.

Selection

Fresh independent work can move toward Core, Transfer, or Challenge routes; help use or confusion keeps support visible.

Help

Hints keep attention on the visible structure; reveals show the path without counting as independent evidence.

Presentation

Presentation can reduce reading and interaction load without changing the selected skill. Practice focus can bias compatible work without breaking prerequisites or story fit.

Story fit

  • episodes where compare visible object sets to 20, identify exact visible difference, prove relation by pairing, and preserve relation under conservation lures.
  • episodes where preserve the same quantity relation across visible sets, numerals, symbols, number lines, bounds, and proof cards.
  • Contexts that preserve the canonical mathematical action without changing the response or answer rule.
