Thursday: A fair swap story

Chris the Coyote sits under a tall pine.

"Here is a story about a fair swap," he says.

"Listen and check each side."

Story: The fair swap

Oliver has 3 + 3 pinecones.

Rosie has 4 + 2 pinecones.

"Is that fair?" asks Rosie.

Oliver counts both piles. Each pile has 6.

"It is fair. 3 + 3 = 4 + 2," says Oliver.
