➕ 📘 The Why
Addition vocabulary - plus, add, sum, total, altogether
📅 Day 16 | Part 1/20 | @YWTutorial
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ዛሬ ለመጀመሪያ ጊዜ ይህን ትምህርት እንጀምራለን። እንኳን ደህና መጣችሁ!

ደንቡ ይህ ነው፦
ይህን ደረጃ በደረጃ እናጠናለን።
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY:
When Abebe is counting his Birr, he needs to know the total amount he has, which is the sum of the Birr he already had and the new Birr he received. This is where the vocabulary of addition comes in, helping him understand the concept of adding numbers to find the total. Similarly, when Blen is sharing injera with her family, she needs to know how many pieces they will have altogether, which requires understanding the concept of addition. By learning this vocabulary, students can better comprehend and apply the concept of addition in their daily lives.

CONCEPT:
Problem: Abebe has 15 Birr in his piggy bank. His mother gives him 8 more Birr as a gift. What is the total amount of Birr Abebe has now?

STEP 1: Find the sum of the Birr Abebe already had and the new Birr he received.

STEP 2: 15 + 8 = 23

ANSWER: Abebe has 23 Birr altogether.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONTEXT: Addition vocabulary such as plus, add, sum, total, and altogether is used to help us count and calculate the number of items we have altogether when we have some and we get some more.

COMMON MISTAKES:
❌ Wrong: 4 + 3 = 9, the sum is 9 altogether
✅ Correct: 4 + 3 = 7, the total is 7
Reason: The vocabulary is incorrect, "altogether" is used to describe the result, not the calculation.

❌ Wrong: 1 + 2 = 3, the total is 5
✅ Correct: 1 + 2 = 3, the sum is 3
Reason: The vocabulary is incorrect, "total" is used to describe the result, not the calculation.

PRACTICE:
P1: 5 + 2 = 7, the total is 7 Birr.
ANSWER: 7

P2: 8 kg of apples and 3 kg of oranges, altogether is 11 kg.
ANSWER: 11

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY: Addition vocabulary such as plus, add, sum, total, and altogether is used to describe the process of combining numbers to find the overall amount or quantity of something.

THE TRICK:
To find the total quickly, you can use the "counting on" method, which involves starting with one number and counting on the same amount as the other number.

For example, if you want to find the total of 5 and 3, you can start with 5 and count on 3 more: 5, 6, 7. The total is 7.

For another example, if you want to find the total of 2 and 4, you can start with 2 and count on 4 more: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The total is 6.

TRY IT:
P1: Tom has 4 pencils in his pencil case. His friend gives him 2 more pencils. What is the total number of pencils Tom has now?

ANSWER: 6

P2: A bookshelf has 5 books on it. If 3 more books are added, what is the total number of books on the bookshelf now?

Blen: Of course, Abebe. Let's start with the rule. We add -ies to a noun, but only if it ends in a consonant and then a -y.
Abebe: Like baby becomes babies?

Market

Blen: Abebe, look at these toys. We need to count them. How many city toys do we have?
Abebe: I think we have cities of toy cities.
Blen: No, Abebe. When we add -ies to city, it becomes cities because it ends in a consonant and then a -y.

When we add -ies to make a plural, we usually change the y to me, but if the word ends in consonant + y, we just add -s. For example, baby becomes babies, but city becomes cities.

EXAMPLES:
Abebe was buying injera at the market. He was looking for a big batch of injera for his family's dinner.

Blen was talking to her teacher about her favorite book, "The City". Her teacher explained that if a city has a big population, it becomes a big city, but if we are talking about many cities, we say cities.

During dinner, Mulu's brother said, "We have many baby goats in our backyard." His sister replied, "Yes, and their mother is a baby goat too, but we call her a nanny goat."

Q&A:
Q1: What happens to the y in the word "baby" when we make it plural?
ANSWER: It changes to me and becomes "babies".

Q2: What is added to the word "city" to make it plural?
ANSWER: The suffix "-s" is added.

RULE REMINDER: Some words that end in consonant + y, like baby, become babies when they are plural. For example, one baby becomes two babies.

STORY:
Abebe and his sister Blen were sitting in their classroom in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Their teacher, Mrs. Yohannes, was explaining the rules of plurals. "Some words that end in consonant + y, like baby, become babies when they are plural," she said. Abebe and Blen had two babies in their family, their cousins' twins. But Mrs. Yohannes pointed out that not all words ending in consonant + y form their plurals in the same way. "For example, a city becomes cities, not cityes," she explained, and Abebe and Blen understood the rule.
