To solve this puzzle, we need to match each math problem in the top grid with the correct picture piece from the bottom section. The number on each picture piece tells us which answer it belongs to.
Step 1: Solve all the subtraction problems in the grid.
Let's go through them row by row:
*
Row 1:
* $1 - 1 = 0$
* $7 - 2 = 5$
* $15 - 6 = 9$
* $9 - 3 = 6$
*
Row 2:
* $14 - 12 = 2$
* $4 - 3 = 1$
* $8 - 4 = 4$
* $17 - 1 = 16$
*
Row 3:
* $6 - 3 = 3$
* $20 - 8 = 12$
* $10 - 2 = 8$
* $19 - 4 = 15$
Step 2: Match the answers to the picture pieces.
Now we look at the numbers on the cut-out pieces and see which calculation result matches them. This will tell us where each piece fits in the grid.
*
Piece 0: Matches $1 - 1$ (Top-left corner)
*
Piece 5: Matches $7 - 2$ (Top row, second from left)
*
Piece 9: Matches $15 - 6$ (Top row, third from left)
*
Piece 6: Matches $9 - 3$ (Top-right corner)
*
Piece 2: Matches $14 - 12$ (Middle row, far left)
*
Piece 1: Matches $4 - 3$ (Middle row, second from left)
*
Piece 4: Matches $8 - 4$ (Middle row, third from left)
*
Piece 16: Matches $17 - 1$ (Middle row, far right)
*
Piece 3: Matches $6 - 3$ (Bottom row, far left)
*
Piece 12: Matches $20 - 8$ (Bottom row, second from left)
*
Piece 8: Matches $10 - 2$ (Bottom row, third from left)
*
Piece 15: Matches $19 - 4$ (Bottom-right corner)
Conclusion:
By placing the pieces according to these matches, you will complete the picture of a bird.
Final Answer:
The solved grid corresponds to the following pieces:
-
Top Row: Piece 0, Piece 5, Piece 9, Piece 6
-
Middle Row: Piece 2, Piece 1, Piece 4, Piece 16
-
Bottom Row: Piece 3, Piece 12, Piece 8, Piece 15
