Question

lesson #1

1. circle the number that is greater

8 (with 8 green circles) 7 (with 7 red circles)

1. this is a penny. it is 1 cent. write the number of cents.

(penny image) ____ ¢

1. draw the missing circles to make ten. write the number of circles you drew in the box to complete the equation.

(6 purple circles in a grid)
10 = 6 + □

1. how many pencils are there?

____ pencils (8 pencils image)
what number comes next? 7, 8, 9, ____

Explanation:

Problem 1: Circle the greater number

Compare 8 and 7. Since \( 8 > 7 \), circle 8.

A penny is 1 cent. So the number of cents is 1.

Step 1: Identify current circles

There are 6 circles (count the purple ones: 5 in top row + 1 in bottom row = 6? Wait, top row: 5, bottom row: 1? Wait, the grid: top row 5, bottom row 1? Wait, no—looking at the grid: top row 5 circles, bottom row 1? Wait, the equation is \( 10 = 6 + \square \). Wait, maybe I miscounted. Wait, the grid: top row 5 circles (columns 1 - 5), bottom row column 1 has 1. So total current: \( 5 + 1 = 6 \).

Step 2: Solve for \( \square \)

We need \( 10 - 6 = \square \). So \( 10 - 6 = 4 \). So draw 4 circles. The number of circles drawn is 4.

Answer:

Circle the number 8.
