Read the problem below. Which math sentence can you use for the green skateboard?
Madelyn has a green skateboard that is 15 inches long. She has a purple skateboard that is 17 inches long. Madelyn needs to add 7 inches to the length of each of her skateboards to use them in the competition. How long will each skateboard be after it is fixed? 15 and 17 are highlighted in red. 7 is highlighted in yellow. The word add is circled. The sentence How long will each skateboard be after it is fixed? is underlined
- \({15 - 7 = ?}\)
- \({15 + 7 = ?}\)
- \({15 + 18 = ?}\)
Look at the length of the green skateboard. Then find the math sentence that adds the length Madelyn needs for the competition.
Correct! You added the length Madelyn needs for the competition.

Read the problem below. Which math sentence can you use for the orange helmet?
Madelyn has a black helmet that is 22 inches long. She has an orange helmet that is 21 inches long. Madelyn needs a helmet that is 25 inches long for the competition. How many more inches long does each helmet need to be for Madelyn to use it to compete? 22 and 21 are highlighted in red. 25 is highlighted in blue. How many more is circled in red. The sentence How many more inches long does each helmet need to be for Madelyn to use it to compete? is underlined.
- \({22 - 21 = ?}\)
- \({25 + 22 = ?}\)
- \({25 - 21 = ?}\)
Look at the length of the orange helmet. Then find the math sentence that subtracts that length from the length Madelyn needs for the competition.
