2. There are pictures of horses in two overlapping circles. There are eight horses in circle A and six horses in circle B. Two of the horses are in both circles A and B. How many horses are in the circles altogether? We had to draw the circles for this because we didn't get it to start with. We drew the overlapping circle and put the 2 in the middle. We added the 8 and 6 and 2 in the middle together. There were 16 horses altogether.

3. A farmer had a small flock of twenty sheep. All but nine of the sheep died. How many sheep does the farmer have now? We drew 20 dots and took away 9 that equalled 11. This is a trick question! It tells you the answer. There were 9 sheep left.
