We know that seven plus three equals 10. What other facts do we know? Find the missing numbers.

Our second number sentence says 10 minus how many equals three. Again, we can look at the blocks that we started with. We know that there are seven green blocks and that seven plus three equals 10. If we have 10 and take away seven, there will be three remaining. We know that 10 minus seven equals three.
