This worksheet is a fun math activity designed for young learners, likely in kindergarten or early elementary grades. The goal is to use the numbers at the top of each "house" (in the roof) to fill in the addition and subtraction equations below.
Each house has three numbers in the roof. These numbers are meant to be used in the four equations below — two addition and two subtraction problems. The idea is to use
all three numbers in the roof to create correct number sentences.
Let’s go through each house one by one.
---
🔷 House 1 (Top Left): Numbers: 5, 3, 8
We see that:
- 5 + 3 = 8
- 3 + 5 = 8
- 8 - 5 = 3
- 8 - 3 = 5
So we can fill in:
```
5 + 3 = 8
3 + 5 = 8
8 - 5 = 3
8 - 3 = 5
```
✔ All numbers used correctly.

🔷 House 2 (Top Right): Numbers: 5, 2, 3
Check relationships:
- 2 + 3 = 5
- 3 + 2 = 5
- 5 - 2 = 3
- 5 - 3 = 2
Fill in:
```
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
5 - 2 = 3
5 - 3 = 2
```
✔ Correct!
---
🔷 House 3 (Bottom Left): Numbers: 4, 3, 1
Check:
- 3 + 1 = 4
- 1 + 3 = 4
- 4 - 3 = 1
- 4 - 1 = 3
Fill in:
```
3 + 1 = 4
1 + 3 = 4
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 1 = 3
```
✔ Correct!
---
🔷 House 4 (Bottom Right): Numbers: 9, 7, 2
Check:
- 7 + 2 = 9
- 2 + 7 = 9
- 9 - 7 = 2
- 9 - 2 = 7
Fill in:
```
7 + 2 = 9
2 + 7 = 9
9 - 7 = 2
9 - 2 = 7
```
✔ Correct!
---
✔ Final Answer (Completed Worksheet):
#### House 1 (5, 3, 8):
```
5 + 3 = 8
3 + 5 = 8
8 - 5 = 3
8 - 3 = 5
```
#### House 2 (5, 2, 3):
```
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
5 - 2 = 3
5 - 3 = 2
```
#### House 3 (4, 3, 1):
```
3 + 1 = 4
1 + 3 = 4
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 1 = 3
```
#### House 4 (9, 7, 2):
```
7 + 2 = 9
2 + 7 = 9
9 - 7 = 2
9 - 2 = 7
```
