Question

Identify the addition equation with the same numbers as those in the subtraction equation given below.
$14–6=8$

• A. $8+6=14$
• B. $14+6=20$
• C. $10+8=18$
• D. $20–6=14$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8+6=14$

Say: Let's read the question and observe the equation.

Ask:
$\bullet$ What do we have to do here?
Ans: We need to identify the related addition equation for the given subtraction equation.
$\bullet$ What is the given equation?
Ans: $14–6=8$
$\bullet$ How do we find the total for two numbers?
Ans: By adding the two smaller numbers to get a bigger number.
$\bullet$ Using the same three numbers, $6,8$ and $14,$ what addition equation can be framed?
Ans: $6+8=14$ or $8+6=14$
$\bullet$ Which of these equations is used in the given options?
Ans: $8+6=14$

Hence, Option D is correct.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to represent the bigger and smaller number as shown and write the related addition and subtraction equations
