Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 54: Add & Take Away

Adding makes MORE — taking away makes FEWER!

Welcome to Issue 54 of the Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — a giant 135-page month of stories, songs and smiles, all about ADD & TAKE AWAY, the friendliest first maths there is. Under Grandma's mango tree, Kiki, Bibo, Lulu and Pip fill a basket mango by mango — every sum drawn with the exact fruit, numbered, and TRUE (all within 10) — then share it out again. Bibo shares ten puff-puff one by one until the plate is fair (2 each!), Joseph forgives his brothers in Egypt, friends learn to forgive each other, and a letter travels the whole of Nigeria from the Post Office!

What's inside (135 pages!):

• Kiki's Mango Maths — a 26-page book-length hero story: mangoes on the tree, mangoes in the basket, with the refrain "Adding makes MORE — taking away makes FEWER!" Every sum is pictured, numbered and checked: 2 + 3 = 5, 8 + 2 = 10, 10 − 4 = 6 — and even the empty-basket zero game!

• Bibo's Ten Puff-Puff… Shared! — an 18-page second story: a grown-up fries, the puff-puff cool, and Bibo shares ten out one by one — plate counts 10, 9, 8 … 0 — until everyone has exactly 2. Fair means equal!

• Bible Story Time: Joseph Forgives His Brothers (Genesis 45) — "I am Joseph!"… "Do not be sad"… "God sent me ahead to save lives" — the forgiveness climax told exactly and gently (cast as presenters only; God shown as golden light only; no invented numbers)

Feelings Corner: Forgiving a Friend — the forgiving side of friendship: the hurt feeling, taking your own time, the talk, the hug (only when both are ready), and playing again

Sing With Us — "Add One More!" (an adding song — every sum in the lyrics is true!) with actions, plus "Ten Little Mangoes", a take-away counting-down song

Learning Lab — Add & Take Away to 10 — picture sums, number bonds to 10, one more / one less mastery, doubles, halves of ten, number-line hops, word problems, and Kiki Asks Why? "Why is adding fair?" — because fair counting counts EVERY one!

Count & Find — the market basket: count 8 mangoes and 6 oranges (every count drawn, numbered and verified), plus bananas, tomatoes, puff-puff, pineapples and 10 market stars

Puzzle Pages — two solver-verified mazes, spot-the-difference, sum-matching, dot-to-dot, pairs puzzles and the Big Quiz of the Issue — with a full answer key at the back

Jokes & Giggles — clean, gentle counting jokes plus a That's Silly! spot-what's-wrong page

Colour & Create — 4 colouring pages, 2 colour-by-simple-sum pages (every sum true!) and 2 draw-it-yourself pages

Make It — a counting abacus frame with two rows of ten big beads, step by step (cutting and knots clearly marked as grown-up steps)

Yummy Corner — the puff-puff counting tray under the full kitchen-safety lock (hands washed first; a grown-up fries; children count out exactly 5 cold ones, eat 2 — how many left? 3!)

Our Nigeria — The Post Office: how letters and parcels are counted, sorted and carried across our whole country, from a red post box in Lagos to a door in Kano!

Parent Pages + Full Answer Key — what your child learned, how to play the pages together, a gentle note on fair sharing and forgiving, and every answer, cross-checked

What your child will learn:

Adding and taking away within 10 — joining groups, counting what's left, and checking every answer by counting the pictures

Number bonds to 10, doubles, halves, one more / one less, and fair sharing (equal shares for everyone)

Forgiveness — Joseph's story and a friend's story, side by side

Kitchen and craft safety for life — handwashing first, grown-ups for hot oil, cutting and knots

A gentle Bible story with a one-line lesson that lasts: "Forgiving makes room for love again!"

Pride in Nigeria — the Post Office that connects our whole country, letter by counted letter
