When distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison, students should note that Additive comparisons focus on the difference between two quantities (e.g., Deb has 3 apples and Karen has 5 apples. How many more apples does Karen have?). A simple way to remember this is, “How many more?” multiplicative comparisons focus on comparing two quantities by showing that one quantity is a specified number of times larger or smaller than the other (e.g., Deb ran 3 miles. Karen ran 5 times as many miles as Deb. How many miles did Karen run?). A simple way to remember this is “How many times as much?” or “How many times as many?” Make sense of Reason abstractly Construct viable Model with Use appropriate Attend to precision Look for and make use of Look for and express problems and and quantitatively arguments and mathematics tools strategically structure regularity in repeated preserver in solving critiques the reasoning them. reasoning of others Cluster: Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems. 4.OA.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted.
