Katelyn and her daughter, Beatriz sat down on the couch, till she glanced out the window, her eyes staring at the mailbox
We'll have to wait and see honey!!!!
Beatriz, I have to go and check the mailbox real quick, would you like to come along?
Sure Mom! I hope there's something for me!
Your friends, Rose and blossom. A birthday invite
Hmm, it seems like you have an invitation!?!?!
Let's go shopping, shall we?
Birthday invite
Oh my gosh!From who?
Slide: 2
Just a reminder that we won't be here long. The party's later today!
Katelyn knew that since there were twins, she needed to get 2 things of each so it could be fair. Katelyn decided to then get coloring books, playful makeup, and stuffed animals. The final math expression resulted in: 2(B + M + A)
Okay!
I can't wait to pack the gifts
Now Katelyn didn't forget about the mother who raised those 2 children. So she decided to get a candle, painting (For free time), pack of flowers, and a thank you card. Katelyn then had to make an expression 1(C+P+F+T)
Slide: 3
But there was something that was confusing Katelyn. she didn't really understand how to pack up these gifts in the right order. so she tried putting it in simplest form.The twins equation resulted in (2B +2M + 2A)
That's much better!
She couldn't forget about the mother. The simplified expression resulted in (1C+ 1P+1F+1T)
I feel SMART mom!
We could have never done it without the help of these readers!
