Name ________________________ Skill: Subtracting Two and Three DigitNumbers
Subtract the number in the center of the subtraction wheel from the number in the secondring of the subtraction wheel. Write your answer in the outside ring of the wheel. T wo of the problems in the first wheel have been done for you.
Name ________________________ Skill: Division with Remainders
Each of the division problems below has a remainder . Match the remainder from each division problem along with the letter beside your answer with the numbers underneath theblanks to find the answer to the riddle.
When solving an equation with more than one type of operation, it is important to performthe operations in the correct order.
Example: 12 + 15 ÷ (3 + 2) - 3 x 2 =
1. Do the operations in parentheses first. 12 + 15 ÷ (3 + 2) - 3 x 2 = 12 + 15 ÷ 5 - 3 x 2
2. Multiply and divide from left to right. 12 + 15 ÷ 5 - 3 x 2 = 12 + 3 - 6
3. Add and subtract from left to right. 12 + 3 - 6 = 9
Solve the following equations using the correct order of operations. Match your answer andthe letter beside your answer to the number below the blanks. W rite the letters in theblanks to solve the riddle.
1. (2 x 4) ÷ 2 x 7 + 5 = = h 2. 14 + 6 x 4 - 3 = = w
3. 72 ÷ 9 - 6 + 18 ÷ 9 = = g 4. 15 + (7 + 2) ÷ 3 + 6 x 3 = = n
5. (3 x 8) - 6 + (24 ÷ 6) = =a 6. (81 ÷ 9) ÷ (3 x 1) + 10 = = e
7. (35 + 13) ÷ 8 = = d 8. 3 + (28 - 3) ÷ 5 + (2 x 4) = = o
9. (9 x 5) ÷ (3 + 6) = = l 10. (64 ÷ 8) + (3 x 4) + 8 = = y
11. 8 x 2 ÷ 2 + 24 = = i 12. 16 ÷ 4 + 7 + 2 x 5 = = t

Probability shows the most likely chances of something happening.
For Example: If you flip a coin, with one side being heads and the other being tails, 50 times, theprobability or most likely outcome is that the coin will land on heads 25 times and tails 25 times.
Perform the following probability experiments and record the results you expect to get andthe actual outcome.

If a certain object or figure can be divided in half in such a way that the two halves areexactly the same, then the figure or object is symmetrical. The dividing line is called theline of symmetry.
Example:
