Welcome to the Math Adventure: Exploring Addition!

Introduction

Hey there, young mathematicians! 📚✨ Today, we’re going on an exciting journey into the world of addition! Are you ready to put on your adventure hats? Let’s dive right in!

The Mysterious Treasure Map

Imagine we have a treasure map that leads us to hidden gold coins! 🗺️ But wait! To unlock the treasure, we need to solve some fun addition problems along the way! Each correct answer will bring us closer to the treasure.

Adventure Activity

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

• A pencil ✏️
• Your math notebook 📒
• Your treasure map (handout provided by the teacher)

Step 2: The First Challenge

Let’s begin our adventure! Write down the first challenge on your map:

Challenge 1: How many apples do we have?

• We start with 3 apples 🍏. Suddenly, we find 2 more apples 🍏.
