Discover how fun learning can be with games and surprises!
Adding and subtracting money means putting together or taking away coins and bills to find the total.
Think of it like building a sandcastle—adding buckets makes it bigger, but if you take some away, it gets smaller! 🏰
First comes adding, then comes subtracting... easy as pie, let’s give it a try!
When we add money, we’re counting up all the coins and bills. When we subtract money, we’re saying goodbye to some of them because they’ve been spent. Subtraction means taking away. Taking away means less!
Imagine you have $5. You buy an ice cream for $2. How much money do you have left?
1️⃣ Start with what you have: $5.
2️⃣ Take away the cost of the ice cream: $2.
3️⃣ Now count down: $5 - $2 = $3.
Yay! You still have $3 left in your pocket. 🎉
- Use real coins and bills to make learning hands-on and fun!
- Turn shopping trips into math games by asking, “If this toy costs $4 and I give you $10, how much
change will we get?”
- Repeat key phrases like, “Addition grows our treasure, subtraction shrinks it!”
- Celebrate every tiny victory—they’re building confidence one step at a time!
🌟 Wow! You’re a math superstar! Keep climbing those number stairs—you’re doing amazing! 🌟
