The operations needed to solve this problem are subtraction and addition.
First, we subtract the 8 stickers that her brother gave her from the total number of stickers she ended up with: 12 - 8 = 4 stickers.
Next, we add the half of the stickers that Reann gave to her friend to the remaining 4 stickers: 4 + (1/2)(4) = 4 + 2 = 6 stickers.
Therefore, Reann initially started with 6 stickers.
The correct option is: Subtraction and addition.
