Remy's Zoo Trip: Three Numbers to Add

Join Remy the robin on a trip to the zoo and add three numbers at a time. First graders find sums like 8 + 6 by breaking a number to make a ten (8 + 2 + 4), look for two numbers that make 10 and add them first, and write equations for zoo stories with three numbers. Every direction is read aloud, and each wrong answer gets a spoken hint.
