Yesterday, Sheree wrote 14 rules about
the USA. Today, she wrote 12 more
rules about the USA. How many rules
did she write all in total?
Write a number sentence and SOLVE it.
Solve it
14 + 12 = 26
Makes sense????
We had to find out how rules Sheree
wrote in all.
We added the number she wrote
yesterday and the number she wrote
today.
Our answer was “Sheree wrote 26
in all.”
It makes sense!
We did it!
We are Word
