- Question 1: Find what each picture equals using these equations: Beech plus Beech plus Orange equals 9, Orange plus Beech minus Banyan equals 4, Beech plus Beech equals 4.
Three pictures hold hidden numbers, so one value found leads to the next. 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: Banyan Tree, Beech Tree and Orange Tree.
Beech Tree + Beech Tree + Orange Tree = 9, Orange Tree + Beech Tree - Banyan Tree = 4, Beech Tree + Beech Tree = 4.
Use one sheet as a quick check before a unit and a second afterwards to see what has shifted.
