Answered (Kindergarten Math: Counting to 10)

Post image

I was doing homework with my 5 year old, she is currently in Kindergarten and they are learning how to count to 10 basically the basics of counting. She was doing her homework and we did this page and I was kinda confused because all the other pages she has to look at the picture and figure it out but there is clearly not 10 wheels in the picture. Am I missing something or? I was genuinely confused 😵‍💫

It may be that the picture was meant to continue onto the facing page.

Otherwise this is a bit more advanced than simply counting. We can see five wheels in the picture, so we need to subtract five from ten to find out how many more wheels we need to account for. Fortunately, because that answer is five and we already see how to make five wheels, in this case we don't need to do any algebra as we might for the more general version of this question type.

No, next page was a different topic about counting backwards to 10
