ON THIS SHEET: Changing the grouping of the numbers does not change the answer. This works for addition and for multiplication, but not for subtraction or division. — Addition · (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) · (2 + 5) + 8 = 2 + (5 + 8) · 7 + 8 = 2 + 13 · 15 = 15 — Multiplication · (a x b) x c = a x (b x c) · (3 x 4) x 5 = 3 x (4 x 5) · 12 x 5 = 3 x 20 · 60 = 60 — LETTER SIZE: 1/2-inch. HANDWRITING: manuscript print. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), First Letters Only.
