Learn the Rule in 3 Steps

  1. Look at the clue

    Each pair shows a number that went in and the number that came out.

  2. Test a number

    Send in your own number. A second pair can rule out a tempting wrong answer.

  3. Choose the rule

    Pick the operation that works for every pair, not just the first one.

Tip: Say your rule out loud before you pick it. Explaining a rule builds stronger math thinking.
