- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Saturn minus Astronaut minus Mercury equals 12, Saturn plus Saturn plus Mars equals 45, Mars plus Mercury minus Mercury equals 11, Mercury plus Mercury plus 8 equals 8.
Four pictures share the sheet, and each value found narrows the rest. Numbers and results here stay within a hundred. 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: Saturn, Mercury, Astronaut and Mars.
Saturn - Astronaut - Mercury = 12, Saturn + Saturn + Mars = 45, Mars + Mercury - Mercury = 11, Mercury + Mercury + 8 = 8.
Send it home once the method has been taught in class, so families meet the same approach.
