Once upon a time, in a cozy little house, there lived a cute cat named Whiskers. Whiskers loved numbers and solving math problems.
One day, Whiskers decided to teach his friends how to do addition. He gathered all his friends around and said, 'Let's go on a math adventure!'
Whiskers and his friends followed the map and reached a magical forest. The forest was filled with trees, flowers, and lots of numbers.
Whiskers explained, 'To do single-digit addition, just count the objects and put the numbers together. For example, if we have 2 bananas and 3 apples, we add 2 + 3 to get 5 fruits in total.'
Next, Whiskers showed them how to do double-digit addition. 'When the numbers are bigger, like 10 + 15, we add the ones place first and then the tens place. The answer is 25.'
Whiskers and his friends practiced counting and adding for hours. They became expert problem solvers!
As the sun set, Whiskers said, 'We've had a great math adventure today. Remember, math is fun and helps us solve problems in everyday life.'
