The book for the child who can add and subtract perfectly — until the sum is hidden inside a sentence. 🔑 It starts with the key words, not the sums. Before a single problem, two pages teach the words that tell you what to do: add, and, together, in all, both, more, altogether, total, combined for addition; take away, lose, less, give away, spent, fewer, left, remain for subtraction. A Grade 1 child who can spot those words has solved the hard part of every word problem they will meet this year. 🧮 Then 30 problems, 15 of each. Every one has a picture, the key word highlighted in the sentence, and a T | O box to set the sum out properly — so the child shows the working instead of guessing a number. 🍎 Real things a six-year-old can picture: stickers, red balls, apples, marbles, pencils, rupees, balloons, classroom chairs. 👩🏫 Written by educator Vandana Kumari (M.Sc, LL.B). Two pages are free — look under Worksheets/Notes/Samples below. Download once, print & practice again and again! 🌟
