About

Optional lesson. Ask questions about a school garden with Lola the llama, choose the ones adding or subtracting can answer, then solve garden story problems within 20 and make up your own. Grade 1: a three-number story where making a ten helps, a "how many more" story where the child picks plus or minus, and an addition story with the child's own numbers. Every direction is narrated, and each wrong answer gets a spoken hint.
