Today, we are going to learn about adding numbers. Adding is like putting things together to make a bigger number. It’s fun and easy!
Let’s start with the numbers four and ten. When we add them together, we get a new number. Let’s see what it is!
First, let’s count to four:
One, two, three, four!
Great job! Now, let’s count to ten:
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
Now, let’s put them together. We start with four and keep counting up to ten more:
Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen!
Wow! Four plus ten equals fourteen. Isn’t that amazing?
Now you can try adding numbers too! You can use your fingers, toys, or anything you like to help you count. Remember, adding is just putting numbers together to make a bigger number.
Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a math superstar! Remember, math is like a puzzle, and you are the detective solving it. Happy adding!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that you can count, like toys, books, or blocks. Try adding different groups of objects together. For example, if you have 3 toy cars and 5 toy animals, how many toys do you have in total? Write down your answers and share them with a friend or family member.
Story Time Addition: Create a short story using your favorite characters. As the story unfolds, add numbers to solve problems. For example, “If three bears are having a picnic and two more bears join them, how many bears are at the picnic?” Draw pictures to illustrate your story and show the addition process.
Nature Numbers: Take a walk outside and collect small natural items like leaves, stones, or sticks. Once you have a collection, practice adding them together. For instance, if you have 4 leaves and find 6 more, how many leaves do you have now? Discuss with a friend or adult how adding numbers helps us understand the world around us.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Four plus ten equals fourteen. Yes. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.”
