1. Imagine you have 3 🍎 apples and your friend gives you 2 🍎 more apples. 2. Let's show the apples in two groups: ➕ = 3. So, $3 + 2 = 5$ apples. Great! To learn word problems, try turning the story into pictures like this. It helps you see what numbers to add or subtract. Keep practicing with fun examples like toys, candies, or animals! 🎉
