Adding Numbers: Lessons 3: Addition Adventure

Welcome to Lesson 3: Addition Adventure! In this lesson, we’ll take your addition skills on an exciting journey.

1. Exploring Big Numbers: Now, let’s add larger numbers. Imagine you have 25 marbles and your friend has 18 marbles. To find out how many marbles you both have together, add 25 + 18. The answer is 43!

2. Money Matters: Addition can help you with money too! If you have $10, and your mom gives you $5 more, you can add 10 + 5 to know you have $15. Money can be fun to count!

3. Story Problems: Addition can solve real-life problems. If you have 12 candies and you eat 4, you can find out how many candies you have left by subtracting. It’s like adding backward: 12 – 4 = 8 candies left.

4. Mystery Math: Sometimes, you might not know all the numbers, but you can still solve puzzles with addition. For example, if you know that you have some apples and your friend gives you some more, you can use addition to figure out how many apples you have without knowing the exact numbers.

Adding is like a superpower in the math world. It helps you solve all kinds of mysteries and adventures! So, keep practicing, and you’ll become a math adventurer, ready to tackle any math challenge that comes your way. Math is full of exciting surprises, and addition is just the beginning!
