Whenever you need help, just click the "Help" button and I'll explain everything step by step. Let's have a fantastic year of learning together!
Let's solve 47 + 28 together!
Step 1: Line up the numbers by place value:
47 + 28 ----
Step 2: Add the ones place: 7 + 8 = 15. Write down 5, carry the 1.
Step 3: Add the tens place: 4 + 2 + 1 (carried) = 7
Answer: 75
Let's solve 83 - 36 together!
Step 1: Line up the numbers:
83 - 36 ----
Step 2: We can't subtract 6 from 3, so we need to borrow from the tens place.
Step 3: 8 becomes 7, and 3 becomes 13.
Step 4: 13 - 6 = 7 (ones place)
Step 5: 7 - 3 = 4 (tens place)
Answer: 47

What does 4 × 3 mean?
Multiplication is repeated addition!
4 × 3 means "4 groups of 3" or "add 4 three times"
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
Or you can think of it as: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
Answer: 12
Understanding Measurement:
An inch is a small unit of length - about the size of your thumb!
A foot is a larger unit - about the size of your foot (that's why it's called a foot!).
There are exactly 12 inches in 1 foot.
Think of it like this: If you line up 12 thumbs, they're about as long as your foot!

The word "pentagon" gives us a clue!
"Penta" means five in Greek.
So a pentagon has 5 sides and 5 corners.
