Math Story: Find the Result
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: solving add-to and take-from stories with an unknown result
1
3 frogs sit on a log. 4 hop over. How many frogs are there now?
2
Draw or use counters to find 3 + 4.
3
12 apples are in a bowl. 5 are eaten. How many remain?
4
Write the starting amount, change, and result for the apple story.
5
Circle the blank at the end of 9 - 2 = __.
6
Write a result-unknown story for 6 + 3.
- Point to the question at the end and name it as the amount we need to find.
- Keep both addition and subtraction examples on the page so the action, not the blank position, guides choice.
- Ask the child to check whether the answer is reasonable after a take-away story.
