I have a 2nd-grader and I am trying to help him with his math work but I think I might be making things a lot more complicated than they need to be. Now I think instead of books , it should have said more books , being that Kate has more books than Meg. Does the word 'more' give this sentence a different meaning or am I over-thinking this question? You are facing the difficulty posed by the fact that the writers of mathematics exercises claim to value precision but often do not demonstrate it in their own writing. It is true that if Meg has 6 books and Kate has 3, then Kate needs 3 more books to have as many as Meg.
