What is the same and what different about 7, 14, 21?What is the same and what different about 7, 14, 21?
What was the same and what different about the two tasks?
‘difference’ associated with subtraction;No word for multiplicative comparison?
So how do we educate awareness of a useful shift of attention to multiplicative comparison?
When do we use multiplicative-comparison naturally?

BaggedBagged
The number of counters in a bag is deemed to be the total number of counters in all the bags contained in that bag.
The ‘bag-depth’ of a bag is the maximum number of bags within bags within bags … in that bag.
For what numbers of counters is it possible to have a bag containing that many counters, subject to the constraint that each bag contains exactly one more counter than its bag depth?
