- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Bookcase minus 2 minus Nightstand equals 1, Bookcase plus 5 plus 1 equals 10.
Two pictures stand for two hidden numbers, and the child works out both. Numbers and results here stay within ten. 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: Bookcase and Nightstand.
Bookcase - 2 - Nightstand = 1, Bookcase + 5 + 1 = 10.
Keep a small stack by the desk for children who finish other work ahead of the group.
