Short Answer

Think and Write

Answer each question in your own words or with a small drawing if you like.

1. Priya had 6 balloons. 2 balloons flew away. Write the subtraction sum and find how many balloons are left.
2. Draw 8 stars, then cross out 3 of them. How many stars are left?

These are open-ended - there's no single right answer to check.
