To determine which expressions belong to the correct models based on their mathematical operations, we can categorize them as follows:

  1. Adding two positive numbers:

    • 3 + 5 = 8
  2. Adding a positive number and a negative number:

    • 3 + (-5) = -2
  3. Adding two negative numbers:

    • -3 + (-5) = -8
  4. Adding a negative number and a positive number:

    • -3 + 5 = 2

Now, we can place the responses in the appropriate boxes based on the categories determined:

  1. Adding two positive numbers:

    • 3 + 5 = 8
  2. Adding a positive number and a negative number:

    • 3 + (-5) = -2
  3. Adding two negative numbers:

    • -3 + (-5) = -8
  4. Adding a negative number and a positive number:

    • -3 + 5 = 2

You just need to insert each expression into the appropriate category box in your interface.
