The number starts small and gets larger. The largest number is at the end. Clue words: in all more together The number starts big and gets smaller. The largest number is at the beginning. Clue words: away left Adding Subtracting
Try these! • 7 ____ 2 = 9 • Start at 7. • It gets larger! (7 went to 9) • The largest number (9) is at the end. • We ADD!!!
Can you do this one? • 8 ______ 2 = 6 • Start at 8. • It gets smaller! (8 went to 6) • The largest number is at the beginning. • We SUBTRACT!!!
More challenges… • 5 _____ 5 = 10 • 5 _____ 2 = 3 • 6 _____ 2 = 8 • 4 _____ 1 = 3
