Let’s have some fun counting my plane collection! I have different colored planes, and we’re going to add them up to see how many I have in total.
First, let’s look at the blue planes. I have 5 blue planes.
Next, there are the yellow planes. I have 4 yellow planes.
Finally, let’s count the red planes. I have 6 red planes.
Now, let’s add them all together to find out how many planes I have in total. We add 5 blue planes, 4 yellow planes, and 6 red planes. So, 5 + 4 + 6 equals 15 planes altogether.
Isn’t it fun to count and see how many planes are in my collection? My collection rules!
Plane Hunt: Go on a plane hunt around your house or classroom! Look for toy planes, paper planes, or even pictures of planes. Count how many you can find and sort them by color. Can you find more blue, yellow, or red planes? Share your findings with a friend or family member.
Plane Art: Create your own plane collection using colored paper. Cut out plane shapes and color them blue, yellow, or red. Make sure to have at least 5 blue planes, 4 yellow planes, and 6 red planes. Once you’re done, count them all to see if you have 15 planes in total. Display your collection on a wall or bulletin board.
Counting Challenge: Imagine you have a new color of plane to add to the collection, like green planes. If you have 3 green planes, how many planes will you have in total now? Try adding different numbers of green planes and see how the total changes. Write down your math sentences, like 5 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 18, and share them with your class.
