- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Backpack minus Cap equals 8, Backpack plus 8 equals 17.
Two pictures stand for two hidden numbers, and the child works out both. Numbers and results here stay within twenty. Equations add and subtract, so the child reads each sign. A picture keeps one value throughout, so a value found carries onward. Pictures on this sheet: Backpack and Cap.
Backpack - Cap = 8, Backpack + 8 = 17.
Send it home once the method has been taught in class, so families meet the same approach.
