Activities
Math Treasure Hunt: Create a list of math problems for Audrey to solve around the house. Each correct answer leads her to the next clue until she finds the treasure!
Math Bingo: Make a bingo card with math problems instead of numbers. Audrey can solve the problems and mark the answers on her card. First one to get a line wins!

Talking Points
"Math is like a puzzle. We need to understand each piece to see the whole picture."
"When we solve math problems, we can use different methods like drawing pictures, using numbers, or even acting them out!"
"It's important to explain how we got our answer so others can understand our thinking. This is like telling a story about our math journey."
