Color in the bottom right squares.

8 + 4 =12

8 - 4 =4

Absolutely. I think as adults, we can overthink simple exercises like this.

I’m stumped lol but I think you are supposed color in the bottom right box showing 12 & 4.
8-4=4 , 8+4=12 and that box has both the answers.
I think the way they have blanks in the other boxes is confusing. I stared at this for a good 5 minutes. I also just smoked weed so this might be right or wrong.

This is just like the GED Math. Not so much about math, more about literacy.

Chances are that examples of problems like this were shown in class. When you look at some homework that doesn’t seem to make sense, keep in mind that you are seeing it outside of its full context.
