Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll do addition and subtraction carefully.
First column, top to bottom:
1. 6 + 2 = ?
Start at 6, count up 2: 7, 8 → Answer is 8
2. 2 + 6 = ?
Start at 2, count up 6: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 → Answer is 8
(Same as above — order doesn’t matter in addition!)
3. 8 - 2 = ?
Start at 8, take away 2: 7, 6 → Answer is 6
4. 8 - 6 = ?
Start at 8, take away 6: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 → Answer is 2
Second column, top to bottom:
5. 5 + 3 = ?
Start at 5, count up 3: 6, 7, 8 → Answer is 8
6. 3 + 5 = ?
Start at 3, count up 5: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 → Answer is 8
(Again, same as above — addition is flexible!)
7. 8 - 3 = ?
Start at 8, take away 3: 7, 6, 5 → Answer is 5
8. 8 - 5 = ?
Start at 8, take away 5: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 → Answer is 3
Third column (bottom left), top to bottom:
9. 4 + 2 = ?
Start at 4, count up 2: 5, 6 → Answer is 6
10. 2 + 4 = ?
Start at 2, count up 4: 3, 4, 5, 6 → Answer is 6
(Same as above — again, order doesn’t change the sum)
11. 6 - 2 = ?
Start at 6, take away 2: 5, 4 → Answer is 4
12. 6 - 4 = ?
Start at 6, take away 4: 5, 4, 3, 2 → Answer is 2
Fourth column (bottom right), top to bottom:
13. 7 + 1 = ?
Start at 7, count up 1: 8 → Answer is 8
14. 1 + 7 = ?
Start at 1, count up 7: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 → Answer is 8
(Same as above — still 8!)
15. 8 - 1 = ?
Start at 8, take away 1: 7 → Answer is 7
16. 8 - 7 = ?
Start at 8, take away 7: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 → Answer is 1
All answers checked twice — they’re correct!
Final Answer:
8, 8, 6, 2, 8, 8, 5, 3, 6, 6, 4, 2, 8, 8, 7, 1
