Sometimes it is easier to solve a problem
with the help of a friend. 

  You can help each other by writing  
        down ideas that you both have.

  You can then work through the   
        problem together.
 

  Patrice and Justine are counting pencils.

  Patrice puts down 3 pencils. 
   

  Justine puts down 4. 
   

  They count the total number of pencils and know that
  they have  a total of 7 pencils. 
   
 

  Mike and Tom are playing a game and they want to get 5 of
  their friends to join them.
    

  Mike asks 3 friends to play.
    

  Tom needs to ask 2 friends.
