    • Ask: “2 + 2” Listen for: 4
    • Ask: “5 + 9” Listen for: 14
    • Ask: “8 + 3” Listen for: 11
    • Ask: “9 + 5” Listen for: 14
  2. Say this: “Count coins from the most valuable.”

    Say this: “Count by fives around the clock.”

  3. Show: A loaf costs 80¢. You pay with $1.00. How much change do you get?

    Say this: “Subtract in cents: 100 − 80 = 20”

    Say this: “Check: 80 + 20 = 100”

    Say this: “Change: 20¢”

    Answer: 20¢

    Show: Father starts planting at 8:20. He works for 1 hour and 35 minutes. What time does he finish?

    Say this: “Add the hours first: 8:20 plus 1 hour is 9:20.”

    Say this: “Add the minutes: 20 + 35 = 55.”

    Say this: “He finishes at 9:55.”

    Answer: 9:55
