Child direction

Help two made-up teams compare their counts without calling one better. Pick one route. Show what the numbers mean, try a way, then check one result. You can stop after a useful part.

Purpose

Find a difference by counting up; distinguish comparison from a removal event.

Complete fictional source

Two fictional poster designs require 1203 labels and 987 labels. What is the difference in their requirements? No labels have been removed.

One own invitation

A fictional score sheet lists 1002 and 875 points. Find the difference and explain its meaning.

Access

Show, draw, type, sign, use your usual communication or direct an agreeing helper. Choose quiet/private work, switch a route, pause, pass or finish. One useful part is enough. A helper can read the exact words or scribe your choices; supplying an operation, count, regrouping or reason is mathematical help and is named. No speed, neatness, speech, handling or device requirement.
