Remember these!
- An addition story is a real-life situation solved using addition.
- We find the two numbers in the story first.
- Then we add them together to find the total.
- Drawing pictures can help solve addition stories.
- Addition stories connect maths to daily life.
- The total should always make sense for the story.
- Example: 3 balloons + 4 balloons = 7 balloons.
- Addition stories can be about toys, fruits, or friends.
