Brainstorm what you know about ponds. What is a pond? What lives in a pond habitat? What grows in a pond?
Think about an adding or subtracting math story that could be possible in a pond habitat.
Using Doodle Buddy app create a picture of a pond and include the details for your math story.
Here is an example.

When all the drawings are complete, upload them to Educreations app and have the students record their story problem. Another app I found is Adobe Voice, which allows you to record voice for each picture. It also lets you rerecord if there is a mistake. Working with kindergartners, rerecord works better than starting all over! When the video is complete I upload to our class blog and we can solve the word problems together or they could do it for homework.
