- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Screwdriver minus Plunger minus Paint Brush equals 1, Paint Brush plus Plunger equals 5, Paint Brush plus 15 equals 18.
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: Paint Brush, Screwdriver and Plunger.
Screwdriver - Plunger - Paint Brush = 1, Paint Brush + Plunger = 5, Paint Brush + 15 = 18.
Two children can sit side by side, take a problem each, and compare how they reached the number.
