Write the correct answer on each line.
1. You have 10 grapes and eat 3. You have 7 grapes now.
10 grapes minus 3 eaten leaves 7 grapes because 10 - 3 = 7.
2. A nickel is worth 5 cents.
A nickel is worth 5 cents. It takes 5 pennies to equal one nickel.
3. Put together a group of 4 and a group of 4. That makes 8.
A group of 4 and another group of 4 makes 8 because 4 + 4 = 8.
4. What is 2 less than 8? 6
2 less than 8 is 6 because 8 minus 2 equals 6. You can count backward from 8: say 7, 6.
