5. Encourage students to use the visual cues provided by the pet illustrations to aid their understanding of repeated addition.

6. Depending on the level of difficulty chosen, students can benefit from varying levels of support:

   • 2 star level: Words are provided, but students need to write the complete addition and multiplication expressions.

   • 3 star level: Students need to write the complete expressions with no scaffolding.

7. Monitor students' progress and provide support and guidance as needed.
