Decorating the Room
Zara puts up decorations! She hangs 5 streamers in the living room and 4 streamers in the kitchen. How many streamers in all?
5 + 4 = 9 streamers total.
She also blows up 6 red balloons and 4 blue balloons. Total balloons: 6 + 4 = 10.
AND she makes 3 paper stars and 5 paper hearts. Total decorations on the wall: 3 + 5 = 8.
Grand total of ALL decorations: 9 + 10 + 8 = 27! That's a lot of decorations!
**Think About It:** When items are in different rooms or different colors, we add to find the total.
