Welcome back, everyone.
Today we have a SHOPPING lesson for you.
But we're talking about math because you might need to use some math when you
buy things.
That's right.
And Megan and Mark both brought apples to the office.
They each brought 15 apples.
So 15 apples plus 15 apples is 30 apples for... for them to share with everyone.
I think we need to see what else is going to happen in Conversation C right now.
What should we do with these leftover apples?
We can share them.
You take half, and I'll take half.
What am I going to do with 8 apples?
No, Mark!
When you divide 14 by two, you get 7.
That's still too many apples for me to use.
You take 10 apples.
Why 10?
You can make some apple pies.
To share?
Of course!
Now that's what I call a great idea.
Apple pie is a great way to help with many different kinds of problems.
And this time it even ended the problem.
There were too many leftover apples, but Mark thought of a way to use them.
But Megan will have to do all the work.
Maybe Mark should help her with the apple pies.
Anyway, let's talk some more about the word leftover.
We often use leftover to talk about food.
We eat some food, but there's also some leftover.
Leftover rice, leftover meat, leftover ice cream.
Leftover ice cream?
I never heard of that kind.
I don't think there will be any leftover apple pie if Megan shares it at the
office, either.
Well, probably not.
But there's also another way to use this word.
Sometimes we also say leftovers with an S at the end.
All the food that is not eaten after a meal can be called leftovers.
You need to put all of the leftovers in the refrigerator after a meal.
Or if you were eating with friends, you can share the leftovers.
You each take some of the food home with you.
Right.
That's just like Mark and Megan.
He took half of the leftover apples, and she took half.
Katie, does that mean that they had to cut all of the apples in half?
Don't be silly, Nathan.
Let's look at the math problem again so that you can understand.
There were 14 apples leftover.
Now read this problem together, everyone.
Fourteen divided by two equals seven.
Now when you divide, you need to say "divided by." It's different from plus and
minus.
That's right, Nathan.
But now do you see?
Half of all of the apples is 7 apples.
They don't need to cut any in half.
Oh... Right. Well...
That's kind of embarrassing.
Well, why don't we take a look at our Use It sentence now? Please.
(Music).
Today we're going to learn how to use the pattern:
Something or someone is too something to do something.
For example: That's too much money to spend.
Or... She's too busy to watch a movie.
Please remember to use it.
(Music).
Well, thanks, Elizabeth.
Now I hope that we didn't give you too many key words to remember today.
But I think that this review should help.
Here we go.
plus.
plus.
Three plus one is four.
minus.
minus.
Three minus one is two.
equal.
equal.
Three plus one equals four.
divide.
divide.
You can divide 12 by three to get four.
leftover.
leftover.
Who will eat the leftover pie?
I hope you can... remember all of today's math key words.
They are very helpful.
Right now let's review today's conversations together.
Hey, Megan.
I brought some apples to share.
I brought apples, too.
Did you go to the sale at Freeway Supermarket?
I did!
I bought a bag of 15 apples.
How many did you get?
I also got 15 apples.
That means we have 25 apples to share!
Uh, no!
Fifteen apples plus 15 apples is 30 apples.
Oh... That's a lot of apples.
Let's give four apples to Carol.
We can also give four to Susie.
We should give four to Rob and four to Jim, too.
OK. Good idea.
Then we'll have 20 apples left.
No! Thirty minus 16 equals 14.
Oh... Sorry, I'm not very good at math.
You might not be good at math, but you are good at sharing!
What should we do with these leftover apples?
We can share them.
You take half, and I'll take half.
What am I going to do with 8 apples?
No, Mark! When you divide 14 by two, you get 7.
That's still too many apples for me to use.
You take 10 apples.
Why 10?
You can make some apple pies.
To share?
Of course!
Look, Monkey Man.
I have five bananas.
Well, yes, you do, Ginger.
One, two, three, four, five bananas.
Yeah. I'm happy and hungry.
Ginger, you have five bananas.
If you eat two bananas, how many will you have?
Hmm, let's see. Five bananas and I eat two.
Yeah. How many bananas will you have?
That's easy. I'll have five bananas!
Well, you have five but you eat two, so how many do you have?
Five bananas.
Five bananas? Ginger, no!
Yes. Three bananas on the outside, and two on the inside.
Ha, ha.
Very funny, Ginger.
Yeah.
(Music).
I hope we get some of that apple pie, Katie.
Megan is great at baking.
Yes, she is.
Now we know many of you may not enjoy math, but it's important to learn how to
talk about it a little in English.
And math can be very helpful in life, too.
Megan and Mark used math and found a way to fix their apple problem.
So remember these math words: plus, minus, divide and equal.
When you do some math, try to say a few questions in English.
Those are great ideas.
And come back for some more English fun tomorrow.
We have a lot more to learn on tomorrow's show, too.
So we will see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
(Music).
