What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 1 to 999.
A careful solution takes 1 written step on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: the sign points at the smaller number: the open end faces the larger one.
Answers are a short answer exactly as the problem asks for it.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 240 different ones, 100% — so a sheet of 20 is a new sheet almost every time.

We would put this in front of a grade 2 class. That is our judgement, not a standard, and it is printed here so you can disagree with it. Everything else we put in that year.
