ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Addition & Subtraction – 4+8=12
Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with numbers. Are you ready to learn something cool? Let’s talk about adding numbers together!
Let’s start with the numbers four and eight. When we add them together, we get a new number. Can you guess what it is?
Four plus eight equals twelve! Isn’t that amazing? Let’s say it together: four plus eight equals twelve!
Now, let’s count all the way to twelve. Ready? Here we go:
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve!
Great job! You counted all the way to twelve. That’s the same number we got when we added four and eight together!
Adding numbers is like a fun game. The more you practice, the better you get. You can try adding other numbers too. Maybe try adding three and five, or six and two. What numbers do you get?
Remember, math is all about exploring and having fun with numbers. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a math superstar!
Thanks for learning with me today. See you next time for more number fun!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom! Look for groups of objects you can count, like toys, books, or blocks. Try adding two groups together. For example, if you find 4 blocks and 8 books, how many do you have in total? Share your findings with a friend or family member.
Number Line Hop: Create a number line on the floor using tape or chalk. Start at zero and hop to the number four, then hop eight more spaces. Where do you land? It’s twelve! Try this with other numbers, like starting at three and hopping five more spaces. What number do you reach?
Story Time Addition: Make up a short story that involves adding numbers. For example, “There were 4 birds sitting on a tree, and 8 more birds joined them. How many birds are there now?” Draw a picture to go with your story and share it with the class.
