About This Activity

Maya mapped the hidden jungle trail carrying her explorer's notebook.

Teacher Tip

Have students act as 'math explorers' like Maya — give each child a small 'field notebook' where they draw explorer scenes (treasure chests, artifact piles, jungle animals) to represent the quantities and unknowns in each word problem, reinforcing that equations tell the story of what Maya discovers and collects on her adventure.
