What this lesson shows
An account holds $20. A deposit of $8 makes $28; a withdrawal of $5 leaves $23. Tell which puts money in and which takes it out.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: $20, deposit $8, withdraw $5. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Deposit: money in, add
- Withdrawal: money out, subtract

Read each problem aloud. Ask: does this put money in or take it out? Your kid adds a deposit, then subtracts a withdrawal from the new amount.
If your kid gets stuck
In: add. Out: subtract.
