Let’s Have Fun with Numbers!

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Numbers can help us keep a steady beat, just like in music. When we add numbers, we can go higher and higher, just like climbing a ladder!

Adding Numbers

When we add numbers, we can use words like “plus” or “add.” They all mean the same thing. Let’s start adding some numbers together and see what we get!

Adding Up to Five

Let’s start with some easy numbers:

  • 1 plus 1 equals 2
  • 1 plus 2 equals 3
  • 1 plus 3 equals 4
  • 1 plus 4 equals 5
  • 2 plus 1 equals 3
  • 2 plus 2 equals 4
  • 2 plus 3 equals 5
  • 3 plus 1 equals 4
  • 3 plus 2 equals 5
  • 4 plus 1 equals 5

Great job! Now let’s mix them up a bit:

  • 1 plus 3 equals 4
  • 2 plus 2 equals 4
  • 1 plus 1 equals 2
  • 4 plus 1 equals 5
  • 1 plus 2 equals 3
  • 3 plus 2 equals 5
  • 1 plus 4 equals 5
  • 2 plus 3 equals 5
  • 3 plus 1 equals 4
  • 2 plus 1 equals 3
Adding Bigger Numbers

Now let’s try some bigger numbers:

  • 1 plus 5 equals 6
  • 1 plus 6 equals 7
  • 1 plus 7 equals 8
  • 1 plus 8 equals 9
  • 1 plus 9 equals 10
  • 2 plus 4 equals 6
  • 2 plus 5 equals 7
  • 2 plus 6 equals 8
  • 2 plus 7 equals 9
  • 2 plus 8 equals 10

Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better!

Subtracting Numbers

Now let’s learn about subtraction. When we subtract, we take numbers away. We can use words like “minus,” “subtract,” or “take away.” They all mean the same thing.

Subtracting Up to Five

Let’s start with some easy subtraction:

  • 2 minus 1 equals 1
  • 3 minus 1 equals 2
  • 3 minus 2 equals 1
  • 4 minus 1 equals 3
  • 4 minus 2 equals 2
  • 4 minus 3 equals 1
  • 5 minus 1 equals 4
  • 5 minus 2 equals 3
  • 5 minus 3 equals 2
  • 5 minus 4 equals 1
Subtracting Bigger Numbers

Now let’s try subtracting some bigger numbers:

  • 6 minus 1 equals 5
  • 6 minus 2 equals 4
  • 6 minus 3 equals 3
  • 6 minus 4 equals 2
  • 6 minus 5 equals 1
  • 7 minus 1 equals 6
  • 7 minus 2 equals 5
  • 7 minus 3 equals 4
  • 7 minus 4 equals 3
  • 7 minus 5 equals 2

Keep practicing subtraction, and you’ll be a pro in no time!

Mixing It Up

Let’s mix up addition and subtraction to see how fast you can solve them:

  • 2 plus 2 equals 4
  • 9 minus 6 equals 3
  • 5 plus 4 equals 9
  • 10 minus 5 equals 5
  • 4 minus 2 equals 2
  • 4 plus 6 equals 10
  • 10 minus 7 equals 3
  • 2 plus 6 equals 8

You’re doing amazing! Keep practicing, and you’ll get even faster. Have fun with numbers, and keep on learning!

  1. Can you think of a time when you used numbers to help you do something fun, like playing a game or making music? Share your experience with the group.
  2. Imagine you are climbing a ladder by adding numbers. What number would you like to reach, and why? How would you feel when you get there?
  3. When you subtract numbers, it’s like taking steps back. Can you think of a situation where you needed to take something away to solve a problem? How did it help?
  1. Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom! Look for numbers on clocks, books, or even in the kitchen. Write down the numbers you find and try adding them together. Can you find two numbers that add up to 10? How about 5?

  2. Number Building Blocks: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to practice addition and subtraction. Start with a small number of blocks, like 5, and add more blocks to see how the total changes. Then, try taking some blocks away. How many do you have left? This hands-on activity helps you see how numbers grow and shrink.

  3. Story Problems: Create a fun story using your favorite toys or characters. For example, “Three teddy bears are having a picnic. Two more teddy bears join them. How many teddy bears are at the picnic now?” Write down your story and solve the problem. Can you make a story where you need to subtract?

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript, with unnecessary repetitions and filler phrases removed for clarity:

[Music]
Numbers help us keep the beat, not too fast, not too slow. The better you can add, the higher you will go.

When they ask you to do addition, they may say plus or add, but they all mean the same thing. Get busy with the rockin’ rap bands!

Just stay there. A number plus one equals the next number. Just count up. When you’re rapping to the music, you can do it easily. So come on, everybody, and add along with me!

When you do addition, the answer is a sum. Adding numbers together is where a sum comes from. Now we’re going to do addition with answers up to five. You will find it fun and easy when you rap.

One plus one is two.
One plus two is three.
One plus three is four.
One plus four is five.
Two plus one is three.
Two plus two is four.
Two plus three is five.
Three plus one is four.
Three plus two is five.
Four plus one is five.

Now we’ll mix them up a little. Let’s see if you can answer before me:

Take away some numbers. Minus, subtract, or take away; they all mean the same. If you take a number from itself, zero is what you’ll get. If you take zero from a number, the number won’t change. If you take one from a number, it’s just like counting down.

Take it away!
