- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Fish minus Fish plus Dolphin equals 1, Fish minus Dolphin plus Pufferfish equals 10, Fish plus Fish equals 14.
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: Fish, Dolphin and Pufferfish.
Fish - Fish + Dolphin = 1, Fish - Dolphin + Pufferfish = 10, Fish + Fish = 14.
Use one sheet as a quick check before a unit and a second afterwards to see what has shifted.
