Answer 1

Hi Jeneya..lets give this a  try.

 

                                                     One day a little boy asked his mom for money for some candy.

 

Mom looked in her change purse and noticed that she has 16 cents. As he was walking a

 

 bulldog started running after him. As he was running he lost four pennies from the 16 cents

 

his mom gave him  16 - 4  =12.  So he had arrived at the store he had only 12 cents left to spend.

 

 

 Hope this small story helps !

 

 

 As for a COMPARE story:

 

                                    Mom and her daughter got thirsty while shopping in the mall. Then Mom and her daughter

 

went into a beverage store to buy cokes. But, the beverage store was only selling BOTTLES of coke! 

 

Well Mom noticed  there was a 16 ounce bottle and a 12 ounce bottle of cokes. The 16 ounce was for Mom

 

and the 12 ounce was for her daughter, which is 4 ounces less than Mom's  ( 16 - 4 =12). So by comparison,

 

Mom had a little more coke than the daughter.
