Hey there! Today, we’re going to have fun with numbers. Are you ready? Let’s start with a simple math problem: 3 plus 5 equals 8. Isn’t that cool?
When we say “3 plus 5,” it means we are putting together 3 things and 5 things. Let’s count them together!
First, let’s count to 3:
1, 2, 3
Now, let’s count to 5:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
When we put them all together, we count like this:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Wow! We have 8 things in total. That’s why 3 plus 5 equals 8!
Now, let’s try some more fun counting. Can you count with me?
What is 2 plus 4?
Let’s count:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Great job! 2 plus 4 equals 6!
Adding numbers is like a fun game. You can try adding different numbers with your friends or family. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Have fun with numbers, and keep counting!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that you can count and add together. For example, you might find 3 apples and 2 oranges. How many fruits do you have in total? Try this with different objects and numbers. Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Building Blocks Addition: Use building blocks or any stackable toys to practice adding numbers. Start by stacking 3 blocks, then add 5 more blocks. Count how many blocks you have in total. Try different combinations, like 4 blocks plus 2 blocks, and see how many you get. Can you make a tower with 10 blocks?
Story Time Addition: Create a short story using addition. For example, “Once upon a time, there were 3 little ducks swimming in a pond. Then, 4 more ducks joined them. How many ducks are swimming now?” Draw a picture of your story and count the total number of ducks. Share your story with the class!
