Math Magic Time!

How Do We Solve an Input/Output Table?

First comes the input, then comes the rule, and out pops the output—just like magic! ✨

Here’s how we do it:

1. Look at the first column—it’s called the input.
2. Find the rule (it’s usually written above or below the table).
3. Add the rule number to the input to get the output.

Adding means growing bigger, just like plants grow taller with water and sunshine! 🌱

Let’s Try One Together!

Here’s our table:

Now let’s solve:

• For the first row: Take the input (100) and add the rule (+25). So, 100 + 25 = 125.
• For the second row: Take the input (200) and add the rule (+25). So, 200 + 25 = 225.

See? We filled up the outputs like filling balloons with air—poof, poof, done! 🎈

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Teaching addition can be as fun as playing games. Here are some tips:

• Use objects like candies or toys to show adding in action.
• Sing songs while solving problems (“One plus two equals threeeee…”).
• Make it a game: Time them gently but cheerfully when they fill tables.

Remember, practice makes perfect—and every little step counts! 👣
