- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Robot minus 1 equals 6, Robot plus Truck equals 8.
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: Robot and Truck.
Robot - 1 = 6, Robot + Truck = 8.
Send it home once the method has been taught in class, so families meet the same approach.
