Adding and taking away

Count candies in jars.

Adding means more in jars.

Taking away means fewer.

Momo: Count candies in jars. Adding means more in jars.

Queen Quibble: I put two candies in, took one out. How many now?

Momo: Queen Quibble added 3 candies. Then took 2 away.

3 + 2 = 5

Check tens and ones.

5 candies are really there.

Momo's tip

Always count carefully.

Momo had 9 candies. Queen Quibble added 5 and took 3. How many candies does Momo have now?

11. 9 + 5 - 3 = 11.

Queen Quibble: Line up the tens and ones, Momo. Then you’ll see what’s true.

5 + 5 = 15. How many left?

10. 15 - 5 = 10.
