Addition
69 + 28 = ?
- Break apart both numbers by place value.
- 69 = 60 + 9
- 28 = 20 + 8
- Add the tens: 60 + 20 = 80
- Add the ones: 9 + 8 = 17
- 17 ones = 1 ten and 7 ones (regrouping)
- Combine: 80 + 17 = 97
Answer: 97

What part of the circle is shaded: a half, a third, or a fourth?
- Count the equal parts: the circle is cut into 4 equal parts.
- 4 equal parts make the whole, so each part is a fourth โ 4 fourths make 1 whole.
- 1 part is shaded, so a fourth of the circle is shaded.
Answer: fourth

What time is shown on the clock?
- The short hour hand is between the 5 and the 6. It has passed the 5 but not the 6 yet, so the hour is still 5.
- The long minute hand points to the 6, halfway around the clock: count by 5s โ 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 โ so it is 30 minutes (half past).
- Hour 5 and 30 minutes: the time is 5:30.
Answer: 5:30
