2. Amy flew to South Africa on
an airplane to go on a safari.
A safari is when you take a
trip to a place where wild
animals live and watch them.
She was so excited to see all
of the wild animals living in
their natural habitat. Amy
wondered how many animals
she would see, and which
animal she would see the
most of. She brought her
camera with her to help her
remember what animals she
saw.

3. When Amy arrived in
South Africa she met
her safari guide James.
He was going to drive
her around the Kruger
park and help her look
for animals. Amy
wanted to take
photographs of all the
animals she saw.
Have you ever gone on someplace and taken photographs? When you take
photographs do you ever take more than one? Turn and talk to a partner.

4. As Amy traveled in the truck through Kruger park she
saw land with trees, grass, boulders and no buildings in
sight. It was quiet in the park, and at first all she could
hear was the sound of the trucks engine as they drove
down a dirt road. Amy had her camera ready and was
looking everywhere to see if she could spot an animal.
Do you think Amy is going to
see any animals? If so, how
many animals do you think
she is going to see? Turn and
talk.

5. Just then, James slowed down the truck and turned off
the engine. James whispered to Amy “look, see over
there in the bushes, it’s a leopard”. Amy quickly took the
leopard’s photo . James said that leopards usually liked
to roam alone unless they were with their babies, which
are called cubs.
How many leopards can you count on this page? I need one person to come up to point while
counting out loud.

6. James and Amy continued to drive through the park
when all of the sudden Amy spotted a herd of impala
running around. James told Amy that impala were very
fast runners.
Can you count how many impala are on this page? Write the number of impala you count
in your journal, then show what you wrote down to a friend. I need one person to come up
and count and point the impala out loud.

The leopard has a red circle around it. The impala’s have a blue circle around them. If we use the
addition sign and an equal sign we can count the animals and write an addition sentence. When you
count the leopard and the impala you can find out how many animals are on the page all together.
The number of animals all together is called a sum. When you think you have figured out the sum of
the animals on this page turn and talk to a neighbor.

8. As they continued their
search driving through the
Kruger park Amy spied a
herd of elephants. “Stop
the truck” Amy cried, “I
want to take some
photographs”. As Amy
started to take photographs
of the large elephants she
noticed some elephant
babies. A baby elephant is
called a calf. The calves
were hiding in some tall
grass. The calves were
pulling blades of grass out
of the ground with their
long trunks and putting the
grass into their mouths.
This page shows photographs of both adult and baby elephants. Can you count the total number of
elephants on this page? Write the answer in your journal. The total number is the sum.

9. A few moments later, after the
elephants had walked away
Amy saw a bunch of other
animals walking through tall
grass. She saw tall giraffes with
very long necks and black and
white striped zebras all very
near each other. Amy tried to
count all of the zebras and the
giraffes. Can you help her
count?
Amy then tried to figure out
how many animals there were
here in all. So Amy was trying
to figure out the sum of giraffes
and zebras. She remembered a
symbol that would help her
figure this out, the addition
sign (+).
6 zebras + 4 giraffes = _?_
animals all together.
How many giraffes did you count? How many
zebra did you count? What was the sum of
the animals? Raise your hand to volunteer.

10. Later in the day Amy wondered if she
was going to see any more African wild
animals. She hoped she would so that
she could take some more
photographs. As James drove he told
her he had spotted a pride of lions.
James told Amy they would have to be
very quiet so they would not upset the
pride and make them run away. James
told Amy that there were male (boy)
and female (girl) lions resting in the
dirt up ahead. James also told Amy that
you can tell the difference between the
male and female lions because of their
hair. Male lions have a large
mane, which is long hair around their
faces, and female lions do not have a
mane. Amy and James quietly sat and
watched the lions. Amy tried to count
how many male lions she saw and how
many female lions she saw. Can you
count them too?
How many male lions can you count? How many female lions can you count? How
many lions are there in this pride all together? Turn and talk to a partner.

11. As Amy and James drove along they
spotted a few water buffalo eating
grass that was growing out of the
ground. Then Amy noticed some
other very large animals grazing on
some grass. This animal had a huge
horn growing out of its face. James
told Amy that those were black
rhinoceros’ but people usually just
called them black rhinos. He said
that they were an endangered
animal, meaning there weren’t that
many of them left on the earth and
they needed to be protected from
hunters. Amy snapped as many
photographs as she could. Then she
tried to count the giraffes and the
rhinos.
How many water buffalo do you see? How many black
rhino do you see? What is the sum of all of the animals
on this page? Write your answer in your journal then
share your answer with a neighbor.

12. The sun began to set and the sky got a little darker. Amy knew
they would have to leave the Kruger park before it got too
dark. As they were driving back to leave Amy saw strange
looking animals with large horns on their heads and a
wrinkly face. James told Amy it was a herd of antelope. Amy
started counting the antelope she counted five of them. Then
she spied some baboons in a nearby tree that were making
strange noises. She counted four baboons. How many
animals were there all together?
_5_ + _4_= _?__
Can you help Amy finish her number sentence? She is using an
addition sign to help her find the sum. What is the sum? Turn and talk.

13. It was time to leave and as they drove the truck out
of the Kruger park Amy glanced back behind her,
she took one last photograph, it had been a
wonderful trip and she had seen so many animals
living out in the wild. She hoped that maybe
someday she could fly on a plane back to South
Africa again.

14. Do you remember how many of we each kind of animal
Amy took photographs of on her trip in all?
Of all the animals Amy saw on her safari which one did you like best? How
many of your favorite animal did Amy see on her trip to South Africa? Turn
and talk to a neighbor and share.
