Welcome to the World of Mathematics!

Hello, young mathematicians! Today, we are going on an exciting adventure in the world of numbers. Are you ready to unlock the treasures hidden in one-step word problems? 🏴‍☠️🔍

The Mystery of the Missing Cookies! 🍪

First, let's get our imaginations buzzing! Picture this:

The Story:

Imagine you are at a delicious bake sale with your friends. Your goal is to buy some cookies to share. Right now, you see a big plate of cookies on a table. There are 48 cookies on that plate. You and your friends decide to buy some to fill your bags with yummy treats!

But wait! Your friend Sarah comes over and says she wants to buy 15 cookies for herself. Oh no! How many cookies will be left on the plate after Sarah takes her share?

Let’s Solve the Problem Together!

  1. What do we know?

    • Total cookies on the plate: 48
    • Cookies Sarah wants to buy: 15
  2. What do we need to find out?

    • How many cookies will be left after Sarah takes her share?
  3. Let’s use a math equation!
    To find out how many cookies are left, we can use subtraction:
    ( \text{Cookies Left} = \text{Total Cookies} - \text{Cookies Sarah Buys} )
    ( \text{Cookies Left} = 48 - 15 )

  4. Now it’s your turn!
    Grab your pencil and paper, and let’s solve it together! What is ( 48 - 15 )?
