Why Writer... highlight!

Read with me!

"Math-A-Million was a superhero from the Land of Numbers."

- Hello, I'm Math-A-Million,

and I love numbers! SHAPOW!

- "One day, Math-A-Million got a call from Mayor All Together."

[Phone ringing] - Math-A-Million!

I have a math emergency! I'm having a party

and I need four red apples. And two green apples.

And then I need to know how many apples I have all together!

- All together? But why?

- Because I'm Mayor All Together!

- "Math-A-Million did not know how many apples there were

all together."

- Hmm, I just don't know. This is a math disaster!

- And that, Super Readers, is why we are in this book.

Math-A-Million and Pig both need to figure out

how many things there are all together!

- Look! It's Math-A-Million!

- Cool! - Whoa!

- Don't you worry! Math-A- Million is here in a hurry!

- We're not worried. We're the Super Readers!

- You are? Oh, phew!

Because finding red apples and green apples

and figuring out how many apples are all together

is a lot of things to do

in a teeny tiny amount of time.

- It certainly is! - Now, let's go do some math!

- Yeah! - Cool!

But... remind me, what IS math exactly?

- Woofster to the rescue!

With my doggie dictionary I can tell you what any word means.

"Math" means" figuring out problems with numbers,

shapes, and patterns. "Math."

Now we know what it means!

Woof-de-doo!

Give your tail a wag!

- Super Readers, there's no time to waste!

We must get to the apple orchard to get apples for the mayor.

- To the apple orchard! Yum!

♪♪

- Mission: Apples. Commencing... now!

First we need four red apples. I shall count now!

One, two, three, four.

Four red apples! KAZOW!

One, two.

Two green apples! SHAPOW!

Now, how many red and green apples are there all together?

Hmm...

I've got it! I must count all of the apples,

and then I'll know how many I have all together!

One, two, three four... five, six.

Six apples all together!

Four and two is six! SHAPOW!

[Horse neighs]

[He gasps] Gad-ZOOKS!

Wha-- Hey!

Horse, you ate my six apples!

[Phone ringing] Uh-oh.

[He clears his throat] Hello?

- Ah, Math-A-Million! - Whoa!

- It's Mayor All Together. I have another math emergency!

- Ooh! Busy day.

- Yes! I need balloons for my party!

Four green balloons...

and five yellow balloons. Heh-heh!

And then I need to know

how many balloons there are all together.

- But why?

- Because I'm Mayor All Together,

and I need to know how many balloons are all together!

Got it? Good! Goodbye!

- Super Readers, the mayor needs balloons.

Luckily I have...

a balloon blower upper!

Let's count!

One, two, three, four.

KAZOW! Four green balloons!

One, two, three, four, five.

SHAPOW! Five yellow balloons!

Now, how many green and yellow balloons are there

all together? Hmm...

Aha! I must count all of the balloons

to figure out how many there are all together!

One, two, three, four...

five, six, seven, eight, nine!

Four plus five equals nine balloons all together!

KAZOW!

And that, my friends, is why they call me

[Pop! Pop!] Grr! At least I have one left.

[Pop!]

Are you kidding me?! Zero balloons!

But I need nine balloons for the mayor!

- Wonder Red to the rescue!

With my Wonder Words Basket,

I can help find the word "nine", and get your nine balloons back!

Nine is an "ine" word, and I love "ine" words!

It's time to rhyme!

Let's change the word "holds" in this sentence. Zzzap!

Why Writer... write!

Super Readers, will Math-A-Million figure out

how many apples and balloons there are all together

if he counts, paints, or juggles them?

Hmm, let's try "counts". Which is the word "counts"?

It has the letter "O" in it.

"Add."

The Super Story Answer is "add".

[Fireworks]

But why?

- [Red]: Because Math-A-Million had to count the apples

and balloons to figure out how many he had all together. And that's what "add" means.

- So my question is:

how can I figure out how many pieces of fruit there are all together?

- And your answer is:

- [All]: Add!

- I need to count the apples and the peaches,

and add them together! Let's do it!

♪♪

OK, there are three apples and two peaches.

Now I'll add to find out

how many apples and peaches there are all together.

And I'll do it by counting.

One, two, three, four, five!

Five pieces of fruit all together!

- Well done, Pig. Three plus two equals five.

Five pieces of fruit is exactly what I need for my fruit juice.
