- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Hat minus 3 plus Spade equals 13, Hat minus 5 equals 2.
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: Spade and Hat.
Hat - 3 + Spade = 13, Hat - 5 = 2.
Use one sheet as a quick check before a unit and a second afterwards to see what has shifted.
