Kindness Counts: A Space Adventure with Subtraction!

Title: The Subtraction Adventure in Outer Space

Page 1: Once in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a group of friendly aliens called the Zorblaxians. They loved to explore the vast universe and discover new planets. Their leader, Zog, was planning a big expedition to a distant planet called Zorblaxia Prime. They needed to gather enough fuel for their spaceship, so they could make the long journey.

Page 2: The Zorblaxians set out on their adventure, and after traveling for many days, they finally arrived at Zorblaxia Prime. They found a special fuel source that would power their spaceship for the entire trip home. The original amount of fuel they found was 8,765 units.

Subtraction Problem: Original amount of fuel: 8,765 Amount being subtracted: 3,214

Solve the problem: 8,765 -3,214 5,551

Page 3: As the Zorblaxians were about to collect the fuel, they heard a distress signal coming from a nearby planet. They knew they had to help, so they generously decided to give away some of their fuel to the stranded aliens. They gave away 2,137 units of fuel to help the other aliens get back home.

Subtraction Problem: Original amount of fuel: 5,551 Amount being subtracted: 2,137

Solve the problem: 5,551 -2,137 3,414

Page 4: After helping the stranded aliens, the Zorblaxians had just enough fuel left to power their spaceship for the journey home. As they blasted off into space, they felt proud of themselves for being kind and generous to others in need. They realized that sometimes, giving something away can make a big difference in someone else's life.

Page 5: The Zorblaxians finally made it back to their home planet, and Zog thanked his crew for their bravery and generosity. They all learned an important lesson about the value of helping others, even if it meant sacrificing something important. The Zorblaxians knew that they had made a positive impact in the universe, and they couldn't wait for their next adventure.

Page 6: The End

Solution/Answer Key: 1. 8,765 - 3,214 = 5,551 2. 5,551 - 2,137 = 3,414

Moral of the Story: The Zorblaxians learned that being kind and generous to others is important, even if it means giving something up. They realized that helping others can make a big difference in the universe and that it's always worth it in the end.
