- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Blue Jay plus Dove minus Magpie equals 9, Magpie minus Magpie plus Blue Jay equals 7, Magpie plus 7 plus 5 equals 15.
Three pictures hold hidden numbers, so one value found leads to the next. 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: Dove, Magpie and Blue Jay.
Blue Jay + Dove - Magpie = 9, Magpie - Magpie + Blue Jay = 7, Magpie + 7 + 5 = 15.
Send it home once the method has been taught in class, so families meet the same approach.
