MATH TO TRY TOGETHER

Help your child solve x plus 3 equals 11

With x + 3 = 11, do the same thing to both sides to find x.

Try it with your child

Write x + 3 = 11 and remove 3 from both sides. This leaves x = 8; put 8 back into the original equation to check 8 + 3 = 11. Ask your child why the same change must be made on both sides.
