Each problem presents a short sentence describing an addition situation. Students read (or listen to) the problem, identify the numbers, and write the sum. This connects abstract addition to real-world meaning.
Read problems aloud for Pre-K or early K students. For more independent K and 1st graders, have them read and solve on their own. Great for integrating literacy and math instruction.
Read each problem aloud with your child. Ask them to picture the story in their head. Use fingers or toys to act out the situation, then write the answer together.
