國小數學英語01:Apples in Two Baskets

English Passage

Today, Ms. Lin gives her class a short math problem. There are 24 apples in one basket and 17 more in another. How many apples are there altogether? The students read the question slowly and circle the important numbers. Mia says, “Let us choose the correct operation.” They talk about what the question asks and write a number sentence. We add 24 and 17. First, add the ones. Then add the tens. 24 + 17 = 41. Ms. Lin asks the class to check the answer. They use a simple drawing and count once more. The answer is 41. Mia explains her work in clear English. Ms. Lin smiles and says, “Good job! Reading carefully helps us solve math problems.”

今天,林老師給全班一道簡短的數學題。一個basket裡有 24 個apples,另一個有 17 個。合起來有多少個?把 24 和 17 相加,答案是 41。學生慢慢讀題、圈出重要數字,選擇正確的運算方法並寫下算式。他們也用簡單圖畫再次檢查答案。Mia 用清楚的英語說明解題過程。林老師提醒大家,仔細閱讀能幫助我們解決數學問題。

解析
