1. Let's start by explaining that we're solving a math problem with simple steps! 2. Imagine we have to find the answer to something, but we want to make it easy and fun. 3. We will use numbers, and write small math sentences called equations, like $2 + 3 = 5$. 4. We show every step so you can see how we get the answer, just like following a trail of breadcrumbs! 5. It's important to be clear and use simple words so it's easy to understand and feel confident. 6. Remember, math is like a puzzle, and step by step, we can solve it together!
