Addition and Subtraction with Dinosaurs – Math for Kids

Learning to Add with Dino

Hello, Dino! You look a little worried. Do you see all those plus signs? They are for addition! Let’s learn how to add together.

Look, Dino! You have some eggs to take care of. Let’s count them. Up here, we have one and two eggs, and down there, we have one more. Let’s add them up! One, two, and three. There are three eggs! Two plus one equals three. Great job, Dino!

Oh, look! More eggs! Let’s count again. Up here, there are one and two eggs, and down there, we have one, two, and three eggs. Let’s add them: one, two, three, four, and five. We have five eggs! Two plus three equals five. Well done, Dino!

Wow, even more eggs! Let’s add them all. Up here, there are one, two, three, four, and five eggs, and down there, we have one, two, and three eggs. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. We have eight eggs! Five plus three equals eight. You’re doing great, Dino!

Learning to Subtract with Cupcakes

Hi there! Do you see those cupcakes? Let’s learn how to subtract. Subtracting means taking away some things to see how many are left.

Look, there were three cupcakes, and you ate one. Let’s see how many are left: one and two. Three minus one equals two. Good job!

Now, there were five cupcakes, and you ate three. Let’s count what’s left: one and two. Five minus three equals two. You’re doing awesome!

There were seven cupcakes, and you ate four. Let’s see: one, two, and three. Seven minus four equals three. Well done!

Fun with Balloons

Let’s play with balloons and practice subtraction! There are three balloons, and if we pop one, how many are left? Let’s see: one and two. Three minus one equals two. Great aim!

Now, there are four balloons, and we pop two. How many are left? One and two. Four minus two equals two. Nice job!

There are five balloons, and we pop two. Let’s count: one, two, and three. Five minus two equals three. You’re a subtraction star!

Conclusion

Wow, you’ve learned so much about adding and subtracting! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math expert. Remember, math can be fun with dinosaurs, cupcakes, and balloons!

  1. Can you think of a time when you had to add or subtract something, like toys or snacks? How did you figure out how many you had in total or how many were left?
  2. If you could use any objects to practice addition and subtraction, what would you choose and why? How would you use them to help you learn?
  3. Imagine you are helping Dino take care of eggs or counting cupcakes. How would you explain addition and subtraction to a friend who doesn’t know how to do it yet?
  1. Dino Egg Hunt: Go on a Dino Egg Hunt around your home or classroom! Gather small objects like toy eggs, blocks, or balls. Practice addition by grouping them together. For example, find two eggs in one spot and three in another. How many do you have in total? Try different combinations and count them out loud. This will help you see how addition works with real objects!

  2. Cupcake Subtraction Game: Create paper cupcakes or use cupcake liners. Start with a certain number of cupcakes, like five. Pretend to “eat” some by removing them. How many are left? Try different scenarios, such as starting with seven cupcakes and taking away four. Count the remaining cupcakes to practice subtraction. You can even draw the cupcakes and cross them out as you subtract!

  3. Balloon Pop Challenge: Use balloons or draw balloons on paper. Start with a set number, like four balloons. Pretend to “pop” some by removing or erasing them. How many are left? Try popping different numbers of balloons and count the ones that remain. This activity helps you understand subtraction in a fun and interactive way!

Hello, Dino! What’s the matter? I see you’re worried. Do you know what all these crosses are for?
You don’t? That’s the plus sign for addition. Do you know how to add?
Don’t worry, Dino, I’ll teach you how!

Hey, Dino, wake up! You have to look after all these eggs. Do you know how many there are?
Let’s add them up! Adding up means putting together or grouping several things.
Today we’re going to add up Dino’s eggs. Are you up for it?

Let’s see how many eggs there are. Up here we have one and two, and down there we have one.
So all together they sum one, two, and three.
There are three eggs! Two plus one equals three.
We have completed our first addition. Adding up two plus one gives you three.
This has been your first addition, Dino. Are you happy?

Wow, it looks like you have more eggs to look after! Do you know how many eggs there are now?
Shall we add them up? Up here there are one and two eggs, and down there we have one, two, and three eggs.
We have to add two plus three.
So all the eggs together would sum up one, two, three, four, and five.
We have five eggs! Two plus three equals five.
Well done, Dino! Do you like adding up?

Whoa! More eggs are falling down! Let’s add them up to find out how many eggs in total you’ll have to look after.
Okay, up here there are one, two, three, four, and five eggs, and down there we have one, two, and three eggs.
We have to add five plus three.
So the result is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
We have eight eggs! Five plus three equals eight.
Well done, Dino! Today you need to look after eight dinosaur eggs.

Now you know how to add up! You’ve fallen asleep again, Dino. Wake up! Everyone’s gone.
You’re not much of a dinosaur egg guardian, are you?
Well, it’s okay, Dino. Today we’ve learned how to add. Do you want to recap?
We could also do horizontal additions. It’s done in the same way. Pay attention!

Two plus one equals one, two, and three.
Two plus one equals three. Very well!
Let’s do the next one: two plus three equals one, two, three, four, and five.
Two plus three equals five. Way to go!
Let’s do another one: five plus three equals one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
Five plus three equals eight. So good!

I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about Dino. He’s had a hard day, so we’ll just let him sleep a bit more. See you around, everyone!
[Music]

Hey, Dino! You fell asleep again. My, my! I see you’re not doing much. Are you bored?
Let’s go get some ice cream!
[Music]

Whoa, Dino! You got yourself two huge ice creams! It’ll take you a long time to eat them both.
Wow, you were really hungry, weren’t you?
Now that we’re full, we can practice additions. What do you say? Come on, let’s add!

How many ice creams are there? Up here we have one and two, and down there we have one.
Go ahead, you do the adding. I’ll give you a few seconds.
You got it! Let me try. All ice creams together would be one, two, and three.
There are three ice creams! Two plus one equals three.
We just did our first addition. The result of adding two plus one is equal to three.

Well done, Dino! Let’s try another one. There’s one ice cream up here and three down there.
Why don’t you add them up? Take your time.
You got it! If we add these ice creams together, we’ll have in total one, two, three, and four.
We have four ice creams in total! One plus three equals four.

Shall we carry on? Now you’ll have to add these two ice creams up here to those two ice creams down there.
I’ll give you a few seconds to add them up.
How did that go? You got it! The result of adding up two plus two is one, two, three, and four.
There are four ice creams! Two plus two equals four.

Let’s try another one. You’ll have to add these four ice creams up here to the one ice cream down there.
Let’s go for it!
You got it! The result of adding up four plus one is one, two, three, four, and five.
There are five ice creams! Four plus one equals five.

Shall we try the last one? We have to add these three ice creams up here to those two ice creams down there.
Let’s go for it!
That’s it! The result of adding up three plus two is one, two, three, four, and five.
There are five ice creams! Three plus two equals five.

And what are you going to do with all this ice cream, Dino? Are you going to eat it?
You’re going to feel sick, Dino! Wouldn’t it be best if you save them for later?
My, my, Dino! You’re never full!

[Music]
Hey, sorry! What’s the matter? I see you’re worried. Do you know what all those lines are for?
You don’t? They’re the subtraction symbol, the minus sign. Do you know how to subtract?
Don’t worry, sorry! I’ll teach you how.

Whoa! These cupcakes look awesome! Sorry, what is it? Are you hungry? Come on, don’t be shy, have one!
In one bite, you’re never full! Sorry, do you know you’ve just done a subtraction without realizing it?
We subtract to know how many things we have left after taking away some of them, just like you did with these cupcakes.

For example, before there were three cupcakes on the table, and you’ve eaten one.
So if we take one away from three, there will be one and two cupcakes left.
Three minus one equals two. Well done! We have done our first subtraction.
See how easy it was? Yum, yum!

These cupcakes are mouth-watering, but wait! Sorry, you’ve subtracted again without realizing.
How many are there left? This time there were five cupcakes, and you’ve eaten three.
So if we take away three from five, there will be one and two cupcakes left.
Five minus three equals two. Awesome! Are you still hungry?

There’s nothing we can do with you, sorry! On the table, there were seven cupcakes, and you’ve eaten four of them.
If we take away four from seven, one, two, three, and four, the result is one, two, and three.
Seven minus four equals three. Good job, sorry! Do you like subtracting?

I told you, sorry! There were too many cupcakes. Well, let’s recap the subtractions we practiced today.
All right, we can also do horizontal subtractions. It’s done in the same way. Pay attention!
Three minus one equals one and two. Three minus one equals two. Awesome!

Let’s do the next one. If I take away the three cupcakes from these five cupcakes, one, two, and three,
I will be left with one and two cupcakes. Five minus three equals two. Excellent, sorry!
Shall we try the last one? If I take away the four cupcakes from the seven cupcakes, one, two, three, and four,
I will be left with one, two, and three. Seven minus four equals three. Well done, sorry!

Now you know how to subtract! Are you feeling better, sorry?
[Music]
My, my! There’s nothing we can do with you, sorry!
[Music]

Hi everyone! This theme park is just awesome! Are you having a good time?
Oopsie! Your balloon just burst! Shall we go get you another one?
What are you playing? You’ve got perfect aim! That’s a great way to learn how to do subtractions.
Would you like to practice for a while?

Let’s find out how good my aim is! There are one, two, and three balloons, and I’m going to see if I can burst one of them.
The subtraction we need to do is three minus one. This means there are three balloons, and I have to burst one.
I’m going to aim well to see how many I’ll have left.
Fantastic! I aimed well! Let’s see how many there are now. One and two. There are two balloons left.
The result of subtracting three from one equals two. My aim is truly good!

Some balloons are flying away! There are one, two, three, and four balloons, and I’m going to try to aim at two of them.
How many balloons will there be left? We need to subtract four minus two.
This means that out of four balloons, we need to take away two. I’m going to aim well to see how many I’ll have left.
One and two! Yes! Let’s see how many we’ve got left. One and two. There are two balloons left.
The result of subtracting four from two is two.

I’m so good at shooting the slingshot! You’ve let more balloons fly away!
There are one, two, three, four, and five balloons. How many will there be left if I aim at two of them?
The subtraction we need to do is five minus two. I’ll aim at two out of five balloons. What will the result be?
One and two! Amazing! Let’s see how many we’ve got left. One, two, and three.
We’ve got three balloons left! The result of subtracting five from two is three.

Doing subtractions is great fun! You’ve let more balloons fly away!
There are one, two, three, four, five, and six balloons. How many will there be if I aim at three of them?
The subtraction we need to do is six minus three. Out of six balloons, I’ll aim at three. What will the result be?
One, two, and three! Yes! Let’s see how many I’ve got left. One, two, and three.
There are three balloons left! Six minus three equals three.

You’ve let more balloons fly away! There are one, two, three, four, five, and six balloons.
How many will there be if I aim at four of them? The subtraction we need to do is six minus four.
Out of six balloons, I’ll aim at four. What will the result be?
One, two, and three! Well, let’s see how many we’ve got left. We’ve got one and two balloons left.
Six minus four equals two. I love doing subtractions!

You’ve run out of balloons, friends! Well, at least you’ve learned how to do subtractions, and you still have all that yummy cotton candy!
My, my! You’re never full!

Hi there, sorry! I see you’re having a blast! It just occurred to me that this is a great game to practice subtractions.
I see you’re really good at it! Here’s a challenge for you. Are you up for it? Awesome!
This challenge is all about hitting the number of cans I’ll be asking you to. Shall we give it a go?

Let’s start with something easy to warm up. There are six cans, and I want you to hit four of them.
If you made it, how many cans would there be left? Time to subtract!
You’ve got it right! Go for it, sorry!
Way to go! You’ve hit all four cans! If there were six cans before and you hit four of them, now there are one and two cans left.
The result of the subtraction problem six minus four would be two.

Let’s carry on! There are eight cans. How many will be left if you hit three of them? Go ahead and do the subtraction!
You’ve got it right! It’s your turn to hit the can, sorry!
Wow, well done! If there were eight cans before and you hit three of them, now there are one, two, three, four, and five cans left.
The result of the subtraction problem eight minus three would be five.

Let’s do some more! This will get a little bit more complicated. There are eleven cans now.
Try to hit five of them. How many will you have left? Let’s subtract!
Ready? Throw that bone, sorry! Nice shot!
If there were 11 cans before and you hit five of them, now there are one, two, three, four, five, and six cans left.
The result of the subtraction problem eleven minus five would be six.

Come on, we’re almost there! There are lots of cans—thirteen of them! You’ll have to hit nine. Could you? Let’s subtract!
Ready? Let’s see how good your aim is! Fantastic! You are truly good at this!
If there were 13 cans before and you hit nine of them, now there are one, two, three, and four cans left.
The result of the subtraction problem thirteen minus nine would be four.

Let’s do one last try! This won’t be an easy one. There are 15 cans. Try to hit 14. Let’s subtract!
You’ve got it right! Last throw! That’s a tough challenge!
Incredible! You’re such an expert, sorry!
If there were 15 cans before and you hit 14 of them, now there’s just one can left.
The result of the subtraction problem fifteen minus fourteen is one. Your aim is awesome!

Sorry, you’ve won so many prizes! Congratulations!
Subtracting is great fun!
