Question

Look at the image, and select the correct equation that it represents.

• A. $13+5=18$
• B. $15+3=18$
• C. $10+8=18$
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above


Solution: Option D

Say: Let’s read the question and observe the image.

Ask:
How many counters are there in the number frame?
Ans: 18

What do we need to find out?
Ans: We need to identify the correct equation from the given options that represents the number frame.

Do you think option A is correct? Why?
Ans: Yes, because if we add 10 and 8, we get 18 as the total.

Do you think option B is correct? Why?
Ans: Yes, because like 10 and 8, if we add 13 and 5, we get 18 as the total.

Do you think option C is correct? Why?
Ans: Yes, similarly, if we add 15 and 3, we get 18 as the total.

Which of the three equations do you think represents the number frame?
Ans: All three, because they are three different ways of making 18.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to draw the number frame and explain that there are different ways to make 18.
