Model
Steps: Kevin had 8 pennies. His mom gave him some more
1. Read and understand the pennies and now he has 12 pennies. How many pennies
problem. did his mom give him?

2. Identify the unknown p

value and key words. p = number of pennies
unknown: Mom gave Kevin 8+p = 12
3. Write the equation.
4. Use the scale model to 8 + p = 12
equation:
solve.
p
solution: p=4
p+8 = 12

Structured Guided Practice

Directions: Use the scale model to solve.

1. Orlando had 12 lollipops. He gave some 2. Rico had 9 marbles in a bag. His brother
to his sister and now he has 7 lollipops. gave him some more marbles and now
How many did he give to his sister? he has 16 marbles. How many marbles
did his brother give him?

unknown: L = Amount of lollipops given. unknown: M = Amount of marbles given

equation: 12 - 7 = L equation: 16 - 9 = M

solution: 5 lollipops were given. solution: 7 marbles given

12 - 7 5

= 16 - 9 = 7

5
Orlando gave his sister ______ lollipops. 7
Rico’s brother gave him ______ marbles.

Student Practice
Directions: Use the scale model to solve.

1. Cam had 52 playing cards. He dealt out 2. Nicole had 18 books. She bought some
some cards. He has 27 cards left. How more at a garage sale. Now she has 27
many cards did he deal out? books. How many books did she buy at
the garage sale?
4512
unknown: C = cards dealt unknown: B = Books bought 27
-2 7
-18
25 09
equation: 52 - 27 = C equation: 27 - 18 = B

solution: 25 cards were dealt out. solution: She bought 9 books.

52 - 27 = 25 27 - 18 = 9

25 9
Cam dealt ______ cards. Nicole bought ______ books.

3. Jeremy has 15 toy cars. He got some 4. Aubree had 14 dolls. She gave some to
more toy cars for his birthday. He now her sister. Now Aubree has 6 dolls. How
has 26 toy cars. How many did he get for many dolls did she give to her sister?
his birthday?

unknown: C = Cars received unknown: D = dolls given away

equation: 26 - 15 = C equation: 14 - 6 = D

solution: 11 cars were given to Jeremy. solution: 8 dolls given away.

26 - 15 = 11 14 - 6 = 8

11 toy cars.
Jeremy received ______ Aubree gave ______
