First Grade Talking Points

• "In this lesson, we will use Pokemon cards or pictures to practice addition and subtraction."
• "Addition is when we put numbers together to find the total. For example, if we have 3 Pokemon characters on one card and 2 Pokemon characters on another card, we can add them to find the total number of Pokemon characters."
• "Subtraction is when we take away a number from another number to find the difference. For example, if we have 5 Pokemon characters on one card and 2 Pokemon characters on another card, we can subtract 2 from 5 to find the difference in the number of Pokemon characters."
• "Let's have fun solving Pokemon arithmetic problems and creating our own Pokemon math story!"
