- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Guitar minus Trombone equals 7, Trombone plus Xylophone equals 3, Trombone plus 8 equals 9.
Three pictures hold hidden numbers, so one value found leads to the next. 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: Trombone, Guitar and Xylophone.
Guitar - Trombone = 7, Trombone + Xylophone = 3, Trombone + 8 = 9.
Keep a small stack by the desk for children who finish other work ahead of the group.
