Goals
1. Learn to add and subtract numbers up to 2 digits, using traditional methods or not.
2. Develop the ability to solve problems involving additions or subtractions of numbers up to 2 digits.
Contextualization
Addition and subtraction are basic math skills we use in our everyday lives. Whether it's managing change from a shop, sharing chocolates with friends, or measuring ingredients while cooking, these operations are foundational for more complex mathematical concepts we encounter later. For instance, helping parents count change after shopping allows students to practice these essential skills in a real-world context.

Supermarket Challenge
Let's engage in a fun activity involving addition and subtraction in a supermarket setting to reinforce our learning.
Instructions
-
Imagine you are in a fictional supermarket with 100 currency units to spend.
-
Select five products priced between 10 and 30 currency units.
-
Add up the prices of your selected items to calculate the total expenditure.
-
Deduct the total spent from the 100 currency units to find out how much you have left.
-
Document your calculations and verify if they're accurate.
