Answer 1

The correct option is B $8$

Say: We need to find the total number of apples in the bowl.

Ask:
How many apples were there in the bowl at first?
Ans: $4$

How many apples were added later?
Ans: $4$

What equation will be framed?
Ans: $4+4=8$

So, what is the total number of apples in the bowl?
Ans: $8$

Hence, Option $B$ is correct.


WB: If required, use the whiteboard to represent the number of apples that were there in the bowl at first, and the number of apples added later as shown and write the addition equation.


Probing Q: How do we solve this?
A: Finding the total by adding the number of apples that were there in the bowl at first and the number of apples that were added later.
