- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Ball plus Race Car plus Train plus Balloon equals 45, Race Car plus Balloon minus Race Car equals 19, Ball plus Balloon plus Balloon equals 49, Race Car plus Race Car plus 1 equals 3.
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: Balloon, Ball, Train and Race Car.
Ball + Race Car + Train + Balloon = 45, Race Car + Balloon - Race Car = 19, Ball + Balloon + Balloon = 49, Race Car + Race Car + 1 = 3.
Send it home once the method has been taught in class, so families meet the same approach.
