The big idea핵심
A story problem is maths inside a short story. The numbers are easy for Lia. The hard part is reading the story and deciding what to do. We teach one routine and use it every time. Lia should also learn to write her own stories: this is the best way to learn the words.
The five-step routine
| Step | What Lia does | What you can say |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Read | Read the whole story. Then read it again. | “Read it two times. The second time, read slowly.” |
| 2. Picture it | Imagine it, act it out with toys, or draw a quick picture or bar model. | “What is happening? Can you show me with toys?” |
| 3. Find the maths word | Underline the word that tells + or −. | “Which word tells you what to do?” |
| 4. Write a number sentence | Choose + or − and write it: 16 − 7 = ? | “Can you write it as a number sentence?” |
| 5. Answer in a sentence | Say the answer with the thing: “Lia has 9 stickers left.” | “9 what? Say it in a full sentence.” |

Watch out for these
| Story | Why it is tricky | The maths |
|---|---|---|
| Her friend gives her 5 more. | “Gives” but Lia gets more. | + |
| She gives 7 to Sam. | Lia has fewer. | − |
| 5 are blue. The rest are green. | “The rest” means the other part. | 11 − 5 (a missing part) |
| How many more does Mo have than Amir? | “More”, but we compare two numbers. | 12 − 8 (the difference) |
| How many more are needed to make 100? | Both + and − work! | 60 + ? = 100 or 100 − 60 |
| 5 people get off the bus. / 5 people get on. | Small words change everything. | get off −, get on + |

Make your own stories
Give Lia a number sentence. She makes a story. You help with the English. Start with a story frame:
| Frame | Example |
|---|---|
| There were ___ ___. Then ___ more came. How many ___ are there now? | There were 6 ducks. Then 3 more came. How many ducks are there now? |
| ___ had ___ ___. She gave ___ away. How many are left? | Mum had 10 cookies. She gave 4 away. How many are left? |
| ___ has ___ ___. ___ has ___ ___. How many do they have altogether? | Lia has 5 shells. Dad has 4 shells. How many do they have altogether? |
| ___ has ___. ___ has ___. What is the difference? | Lia has 12 pencils. Dad has 8 pencils. What is the difference? |
- There were ___ ___. Then ___ more came. How many ___ are there now?ExampleThere were 6 ducks. Then 3 more came. How many ducks are there now?
- ___ had ___ ___. She gave ___ away. How many are left?ExampleMum had 10 cookies. She gave 4 away. How many are left?
- ___ has ___ ___. ___ has ___ ___. How many do they have altogether?ExampleLia has 5 shells. Dad has 4 shells. How many do they have altogether?
- ___ has ___. ___ has ___. What is the difference?ExampleLia has 12 pencils. Dad has 8 pencils. What is the difference?

Good questions to ask좋은 질문
“What is happening in the story?”
NoteUnderstanding first, numbers later.
“Will the answer be bigger or smaller than 16?”
NoteA quick check of the sign.
“Can you draw it?”
NoteA bar model or small circles is enough.
“Does your answer make sense?”
NoteIf Lia gave stickers away, she can't have more than 16.
“Can you make up a story for 13 − 5?”
If Lia is stuck막힐 때
- When
She picks numbers and adds them without reading.
Cover the numbers with your finger. “What happens in the story? Just tell me the story.”
- When
She does not know one word in the story.
Tell her the meaning, act it out, then let her read it again.
- When
She writes the answer with no unit.
“9 what? 9 elephants?” Make it funny.
- When
She chooses the wrong sign.
Act it out with toys. The toys will show the answer.
Game놀이
You need: two dice

자주 묻는 질문
더할지 뺄지 어떻게 아나요?
읽고, 그림을 그려 보고, 핵심 낱말을 찾아요. 모두 합치는 이야기면 +, 덜어 내거나 비교하는 이야기면 −예요.
altogether가 나오면 늘 더하기인가요?
대개 “모두 합쳐서”라 더해요. 그래도 그림으로 이야기를 확인하는 습관이 더 중요해요.
