1. Who has the highest score? Who has the lowest?

2. Which children have the same score?

3. You may play the bean bag game and keep the score in this way. Change the figures often.

13. Adding Numbers in Columns

When you add numbers in a column, as in the bean bag game, begin at the bottom and add upward.

3

2 In adding this column, we may say 4 and 2 make 6, and

9

The best way is to think sums only, as: 6, 9. Add these columns in the best way:

Mary has money to spend at the First Grade sale of toys. She wishes to buy gifts for five friends. 1. Name two things she could buy for 10¢.

2. Find two other things she could buy for 10¢. 3. What toy could she buy for 5 cents?

4. Tell how much money she would spend for all these toys.

5. Lucy has 10¢ to spend for toys. If she buys a doll, what else can she buy?

5+?=10

5+? 9

=

6. John wants to buy a cart. He has 5¢. How many more cents does he need? 7. Kate has 10¢. She bought a rope. How many cents has she left?

4+?=10

8. Jane has 9¢. What two things can she buy? 9. Ellen bought a rag doll. May bought a doll bed and a jumping rope. Which one spent the more? 10. Answer these questions:

One day Tom was storekeeper at the First Grade sale. 1. Tell how much change he should give from 5¢ for:

2. Tell how much change he should give from 10¢ for:

3. Play that you are storekeeper and tell how much change you would give from 5 cents and 10 cents for different articles in the First Grade sale.

4. Make out a price list for a sale in your grade.

When we take one number from another we subtract.

1. Give the answers to these questions:

8-5-? 10-6=? 9-5=? 10-7=? 9-6=?

8-3=? 10-4-? 9-4-? 10-3=? 9-3=?

2. Copy the following examples and write the

answers:

8-2=? 4-2=?

6-4=? 7-3=? 7-5=? 8-?=6 9-3=? 9-2=?

10-?=8

10-2=?

10-?=1 10-?=5

17. Another Way of Subtracting

Numbers that are to be subtracted are usually written this way. Study the examples and be ready to write the

teacher dictates the numbers:

972

3013

8

422

2

9

4 10
