“Now class.

Who can tell

me what it

means to

add?” said

Mrs.

Williams.

“Javier, what does it mean?”

“It means to put more numbers together to make a

number bigger.”

“Great job Javier! Now how about subtraction.”

“What does it mean?”

“Alexandra.”

“Doesn’t it mean to take

away numbers? The

number will get smaller.”

“Great job! Now, click on

the adding and subtracting

picture and listen to this

video to review what they

mean while singing the

song.”

“For homework

tonight, please

do the math

worksheet over

addition and

subtraction.

Also, think

about how to

use addition

and

subtraction!

Have a good

night!”

Alexandra couldn’t wait to tell her parents about her new

favorite song! So, when she got home she ran to her

parents and sang it for them. “Add means put together.

Subtract means take away!” she sang.

“Great job, honey!” said her father.

“Now, could you go play with your

little brother and sister before dinner

please?” “Sure Dad!” said Alexandra.

When Alexandra got to the playroom, her sister and

her brother Zoe and Andrew were fighting over one

of Andrew’s toy trucks. “Andrew won’t share with

me!” screamed Zoe. “It’s my toy!” yelled Andrew.

“But Andrew, you have 6 other toy trucks. Couldn’t you let

Zoe have 1? Be a good brother and share with her please,”

said Alexandra. Andrew gave up and let Zoe have 1 of his

trucks to play with.

Then, Alexandra realized that

Andrew had just subtracted a

toy truck from his collection of

them! Alexandra ran to tell her

parents.

“Mom, Andrew had 6 toy trucks. Then, Zoe wanted 1, so

Andrew gave her 1 of them. So after he shared with Zoe,

Andrew had 5 toy trucks left! 6-1=5” said Alexandra.

__ =

6 - 1 = 5

“That’s right sweetie!

Good job. Did you know

that you can also use

addition in that

situation?” asked

Alexandra’s mom.

“No. How?”

“How many trucks did Zoe have to start?”

“Zero.”

“How many did Andrew give her?”

“One.”

“So, 0+1=?”

+ = ?

“1. Zoe has 1 truck now! I can’t

wait to tell my teacher about

how I used addition and

subtraction tonight with toy

trucks!”

“I’m sure she will love your

examples! Now, why don’t you

help set the table for dinner?”

said Alexandra’s mother.

Alexandra was so happy that

she didn’t mind helping her

mother finish getting ready for

dinner.
