Sample questions (in Chinese)

Question 1計算。

7 + 4 =

Answer and explanation

答案:7 + 4 = 11

為甚麼?先湊成 10:把 4 分成 3 和 1。7 + 3 = 10,10 + 1 = 11。

Question 2計算。

17 − 8 =

Answer and explanation

答案:17 − 8 = 9

為甚麼?想一想:8 加多少等於 17?因為 8 + 9 = 17,所以 17 − 8 = 9。也可以把 17 分成 10 和 7:10 − 8 = 2,2 + 7 = 9。

Question 3桌上有 6 本書,哥哥把桌上的書全部拿走。桌上還有多少本書?

6 − 6 =

Answer and explanation

答案:6 − 6 = 0

為甚麼?全部拿走,即是 6 − 6 = 0,桌上有書 0 本。

Question 4已知 2 + 2 = 4。填上空格。

4 − 2 =

Answer and explanation

答案:4 − 2 = 2

為甚麼?加法和減法互相關連:2 + 2 = 4,所以 4 − 2 = 2。
