Lesson 11 Concept Development
Is 1 always the same as 1?
Is 1 liter of soda the same as 1 can of soda?
Yes, they’re still the same amount.
No, a liter and a can are different.
How many stays the same, but a liter is bigger than a can so how much in each is different.
How many and how much are important to our question.
In this case, what each thing is changes it too. A liter is bigger so it has more soda than a can.
If the thing is bigger, then it has more.
Even though the number of things is the same, what it is might change how much of it there is.
If what it is and how much it is are different, then 1 and 1 aren’t exactly the same.
