If someone gave you two plates and asked you to bring the same amount, and one plate more, how many plates will you bring? 

To answer this question, let's remember what "more" means. We can connect items from two groups in pairs into one group. The group that has objects without pairs is a larger one. It is larger than the smaller group as much as the number of elements left. 

In a number line, the greater number is the one closer to the right. Do you need to find a number that is one greater than two? Move along the number line to the right by one digit. You found the number 3. So how many plates do you need to bring? Three.

The word "more" in the text of the problem suggests the way to solve it. We have an unknown number. It is greater than the known one. We add the given number to the number that shows how much the desirable quantity should be greater.

The example with plates says 'bring 1 more plate than 2.' How much more? 1. We add the number 1 and denote it as 2+1.

Can you answer, which number is two greater than 3? To do this, add 2 to 3: 3+2=5.
