- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Capricious plus Scared minus 7 equals 5, Capricious plus 9 equals 18.
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: Capricious and Scared.
Capricious + Scared - 7 = 5, Capricious + 9 = 18.
Two children can sit side by side, take a problem each, and compare how they reached the number.
