Two-Step Thinking
Read carefully!
Some stories need careful reading. Work out what is happening before you add!
A bus has 8 people. At the stop, 4 get on and then 2 more get on. How many people now?
8 + 4 + 2 = 14 people
Read carefully! Here three groups get added: 8 + 4 + 2 = 14. Sometimes a story has more than two numbers. Take your time and work out what is happening first.
