Teacher's Script

Teacher: Let's look at this interesting picture. It shows us how to write "1+1" in math and in words. Can you read what it says? Now, can you think of a story problem that would use "1+1"? For example, "I have 1 apple and my friend gives me 1 more apple. How many apples do I have now?" This is how we connect the math we write to the world around us!
