Number Relationships

🟦 Definition

Number relationships show how numbers are connected.
They help us compare, add, subtract, and understand patterns.

🟩 Examples

• More and Less:
  8 is more than 5.
  3 is less than 6.
  
  

• Equal To:
  4 + 2 = 6
  3 + 3 = 6
  So, 4 + 2 = 3 + 3
  
  

• Missing Numbers:
  If 5 + ___ = 9, the missing number is 4.
