Instructions for Parents & Teachers:

1. The "Circle & Underline" Method: Ask the child to circle the numbers and underline the question (usually the last sentence) before they start calculating.
2. Act It Out: Use real objects (toys or fruit) to act out the story if the child is struggling to visualize the scenario.
3. Explain the 'Why': Ask the child, "What word told you that we need to add?" to ensure they recognize the logic, not just the numbers.
