Picture sums: explained simply
Pictures show counters being added or taken away. Write a matching addition or subtraction calculation.
How to work it out
- Putting more counters down means addition: starting amount + extra amount.
- Taking counters away means subtraction: starting amount − removed amount. The answer is the amount left.
An example, step by step
You see 8 counters, with 3 crossed out.
- There were 8 counters at the start.
- The 3 crossed-out counters are taken away.
- 5 remain. The calculation is 8 − 3 = 5.
Your turn
2 counters are added to 4 counters. Which calculation fits?
Show the answer and method
4 + 2 = 6.
