Question

Children are lining up for pony rides. There are $7$ children in Line $1$. There are $6$ more children in Line $2$ than in Line $1$. How many children are there in Line $2$?

• A. $1$
• B. $4$
• C. $12$
• D. $13$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $13$

Say:
Here, we need to find the number of children in Line $2$.

Ask:
How many children are there in Line $1$?
Ans: $7$

How many more children are there in Line $2$ than in Line 1?
Ans: $6$
How will we find the number of children in Line $2$?
Ans: By adding $6$ to the number of children in Line $1$.
What is the equation that will be framed?
Ans: $7+6=13$

So, how many children are there in Line $2$?
Ans: $13$

Hence, Option $B$ is correct.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to represent the number of children in Line $1$, and the number of children in Line $2$ that are more than the number of children in Line $1$ as shown and write the addition equation.

Show how $10$ units are grouped together to form $1$ rod.

Probing Q. Since there are $7$ children in Line $1$ and $6$ more in Line $2$, is it true that Line $2$ is shorter than Line $1$?
A. No, there are $6$ more children in Line $2$ than in Line $1$. So Line $1$ is shorter than Line $2$.
