That is so easy, all you have to do is subtract
22 minus 12.
Joshua had 22 socks in his drawer. 12 of the
socks are white and the rest are green. How many
green socks does Joshua have?
I still dont get this!
What? How did you know to do that? I dont get it!
Well you know that he had 22 socks total and that
12 of the socks are white. So you subtract 22
minus 12 which is 10 green socks.
Your welcome Lauren.
I will just figure this out at home with my mom.
Thanks for trying Sabrina.

Lauren I am so proud of how well you have been
doing in school.
Thanks Mrs. Brinkley
Thanks mom
And Sabrina when I talked to your mom she said
you were doing well too.
Well Lauren, I hope that you keep up the good
work for the rest of the year, because if you do
well again I will have to get you something nice!
Well lets go home.
I wont let your down mom!
9
But if I ask her she might think that I am not
smart. Then I wont get my end of the year gift.
I know! I will just wait until tomorrow and tell
Mrs. Bennett that I forgot my homework at school.
I am still confused about this homework. Maybe I
should ask my mom for help.
10
Maybe Mrs. Bennett wont notice that I did not
turn in my assignment.
I know I will be lying but I dont want to
disappoint anyone.
11
Lauren where is your homework?
Everyone please turn in your homework from
yesterday.
Well, I accidentally forgot to bring it home last
night.
Well, since this is your first time forgetting to
complete an assignment I will let you come in
during recess to finish it.
12
Dont worry its not hard, so you should be able
to finish it fast.
What do you want to do at recess today?
You know I cant go out yet. I have to go work on
the math homework assignment.
Bye
13
Hello Lauren. Here is another copy of the
homework. If you have any questions I will be
sitting right here.
14
I still dont understand how to do this, and I
lied to my teacher.
15
Mrs. Bennett I have to tell you something. I did
not really forget my homework here at school. I
actually did not do it, because I dont
understand it.
Why didnt you ask me a question yesterday?
Well, I thought that if I asked you a question
you would not think that I was smart anymore.
Now let me explain the problem to you.
Lauren, its ok to not understand something.
Everyone has to ask questions sometimes
Lauren if you ask a question it does not mean
that you are not smart. It just means that you
need a little help.
I understand it now! Thanks so much. I guess I
dont always have to try to be so perfect.
16
Ok class lets begin!
Lauren do you understand the math problems now?
Yeah, Mrs. Bennett helped me. I know now to ask
when I have a question.
