Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.
---
Problem 1:
My pencil is 12 centimetres long.
Tom’s pencil is 6 centimetres longer.
→ So we add: 12 + 6 =
18 cm
---
Problem 2:
Wazim’s desk tray is 35 cm long.
Sue’s desk tray is 10 centimetres shorter.
→ So we subtract: 35 - 10 =
25 cm
---
Problem 3:
Pat’s rabbit is 40 cm long.
Zita’s rabbit is 5 cm longer.
→ So we add: 40 + 5 =
45 cm
---
Problem 4:
The mouse says: “Hi! I’m 25 centimetres tall.”
Question: What would his height be if he was twice as tall?
→ Twice means multiply by 2: 25 × 2 =
50 cm

Problem 5:
My cat is 20 cm tall.
My dog is 15 cm taller.
→ So we add: 20 + 15 =
35 cm
