Once upon a time, there were five birds. They flew to an orchard with great curiosity. There are three apple trees in the orchard, and each tree is covered with delicious apples. Birds want to know how many apples there are in the orchard, so they decide to add up the apples on each tree. When they add the number of apples on the first tree to the number of apples on the second tree, they get a total of eight apples. So the birds enjoyed a delicious apple meal very happily.
Through this story, children can understand the concept and method of addition. Addition is one of the most basic operations in mathematics, which can be used to calculate the sum of multiple numbers. In this story, we use specific situations and vivid images to make children understand the simple mathematical equation of 5+3=8 more intuitively.
