    1 ) 20 – 1 = 19 in this case is equal to the letter S
    13 + 7 = 20 ( For this equation I can recall my number facts to 10. If 7 + 3 = 10 then 13 + 7 = 20) 20 is equal to the letter T
    16 – 15 = 1 . 1 is equal to the the letter A
    12 + 6 = 18 . 18 is the letter R
    9 + 10 = 19. The number 19 is the letter S
    The word is ⭐️✨ Stars ✨🌟
    __________________________________________________________________________
    2 ) 12 – 9 = 3 . 3 in this case is the letter C
    7 + 8 = 15 . I can see that 15 is represented by the letter O
    5 + 8 = 13 . A way I worked it out was that I did 5 + 5 which was 10 and added on 3
    which gave me the answers 13 and the letter M
    12 – 7 = 5. You could do this by using the inverse. We know that 5 + 7 = 12 so 12 – 7 = 5. 5 is E
    12 + 8 = 20. Again we know 2 + 8 = 10 so 12 + 8 = 20 you could even do 18 + 2 and it would equal the SAME thing. Our letter is T
    15 + 4 = 19 . AGAIN you could use a number fact of 5 + 4 = 9. Our letter is S
    The word is ☄️💫 Comets ☄️💫

    ______________ __________________________________________________________________________
    3 ) 10 + 4 = 14 . 14 is represented by the lovely letter N
    15 – 10 = 5 . I know this because if 5 + 10 = 15 then 15 – 10 = 5 . 5 is E
    8 + 8 = 16 . You could also do 8 x 2 which is also 16. 16 is P
    20 + 0 = 20 for 0 means nothing. 20 is the letter T
    25 – 4 = 21. I could work this out fast by knowing that 5 – 4 = 1. 21 is the letter U
    7 + 7 = 14 you could also do 2 x 7 or 7 x 2 they both work . 14 is the letter N
    13 – 8 = 5. 5 is equal to the letter E
    The word is 🔵 ✨ Neptune ✨🔵

    1 ) 7 – _ = 12 to work one of these questions out you have to do the inverse if it is add you do take away if its take away you have to add. 7 + 12 is 19
    Earth = 19
    2 ) 4 \ 12 = 3 so 4 x 3 = 12 ( / is divide )
    Sun = 12
    3 ) 4 x 11 = 44 I don’t have to use inverse because I can sometimes use my times table knowledge
    Jupiter = 4
    4 ) 63 / 9 = 7
    Moon = 7
    5 ) 27 (for this I found FWM was the easiest method)
    +19
    46
    1
    Saturn = 46
    60 / 6 = 10 I used my times table knowledge
    Neptune = 6
    ✨Silver Deep Dive ✨
    1 ) Earth + moon = 26
    2 ) Sun x Earth = 228 to get this I learnt to do this you could multiple 20 x 12 to get 240. Then you take away a group of 12 to get to 228.
    3 ) ( Sun x Earth) / Neptune . Looking at this problem we just learned that Sun x Earth = 228 So all we have to do is divide 6 which would equal 38
    4 ) ( Jupiter x Sun ) / Neptune . To work this out we do 4 x 12 which equals 48 then, divide that by 6 which is 8.
