Comparing 3 parties with 2 separate sentences is common in P3.
In the later part of P3 and onto P4,
students are required to know how to draw comparison models with a single sentence such as one below.
Mark has 15 more cards than Reuben and 11 less cards than Bernard.
Who has the most and who has the least cards?
To assist P3 and P4 Math students with comparison model drawing,
such visual aids may be useful.
Instead of having them draw the model,
have them fill in a partially drawn model first.
If the student is able to fill in all the missing boxes, the model should be able to instruct them on how to find the answer.
