Question 8
Which equation matches the story? The is the number we don't know.
Kenji had 60 beads.
Kenji gave some to friends.
Now Kenji has 19.
- 60 + 19 = ☐
- 60 − ☐ = 19
- ☐ − 60 = 19
60 − ☐ = 19
Hint: Kenji started with 60 and gave some away, leaving 19. So 60 − ☐ = 19.
Question 9
Which is bigger: 1/2 or 1/6?
- 1/2
- 1/6
- They are the same
1/2
Hint: The more parts a whole is cut into, the smaller each part. 1/2 has the fewest parts, so its part is the biggest.
Question 10

- 1 1/4 in
- 1 in
- 2 in
- 1/2 in
1 in
