There are many compare and contrast options in a mathematics classroom.
  • Procedures
  • Problem Solving Strategies
  • Solving algebraic equations
  • Shapes
  • Lines
  • Graphs
  • Etc.
The template not only asks for like characteristics; it also asks for, unlike characteristics. 
Application is very important in mathematics and it all starts with asking questions about similarities and differences to problems we already know how to solve. 
The identification of differences allows us to identify the right path to take when working with mathematics.
