- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Earmuffs plus 5 plus Bow Tie equals 8, Bow Tie plus 3 equals 5.
Two pictures stand for two hidden numbers, and the child works out both. Numbers and results here stay within ten. A picture keeps one value throughout, so a value found carries onward. Pictures on this sheet: Earmuffs and Bow Tie.
Earmuffs + 5 + Bow Tie = 8, Bow Tie + 3 = 5.
Send it home once the method has been taught in class, so families meet the same approach.
