Real-World Examples of 'More' and 'Total' for K Students

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔢 'More' means adding to what you already have. It's like getting extra cookies! ➕ We use the plus sign (+) to show 'more'. For example, $2 + 1 = 3$ (2 cookies and 1 more cookie is 3 cookies!). 💯 'Total' means finding out how much you have when you put everything together. 🍎 We still use the plus sign (+) to find the 'total'. For example, if you have 3 apples and your friend gives you 2 apples, the total number of apples is $3 + 2 = 5$. ✏️ We can use drawings or counters to help us find 'more' and 'total'.
