Hey there! Today, we’re going to have fun with numbers. Let’s start with adding! When we add, we put numbers together to make a bigger number. It’s like having a party with numbers!
Imagine you have 2 apples, and your friend gives you 7 more. How many apples do you have now? Let’s count together: 2 plus 7 equals 9! Yay, you have 9 apples!
Guess what? If you start with 7 apples and add 2 more, you still get 9 apples! Isn’t that cool? 7 plus 2 equals 9, just like 2 plus 7 equals 9!
Now, let’s try with 2 and 9. If you have 2 candies and get 9 more, you have 11 candies! 2 plus 9 equals 11. And if you have 9 candies and add 2 more, you still get 11! 9 plus 2 equals 11. Numbers love to play like this!
Let’s see what happens with 3 and 8. If you have 3 balloons and get 8 more, you have 11 balloons! 3 plus 8 equals 11. And if you have 8 balloons and add 3 more, you still have 11! 8 plus 3 equals 11. Balloons everywhere!
How about 2 and 8? If you have 2 cookies and get 8 more, you have 10 cookies! 2 plus 8 equals 10. And if you have 8 cookies and add 2 more, you still have 10! 8 plus 2 equals 10. Yum, cookies!
Isn’t it fun to see how numbers work together? You can try adding with your toys or snacks at home. Remember, numbers love to play and make new friends. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a math superstar!
Number Party with Snacks: Gather some small snacks like grapes or crackers. Ask the children to count out 3 snacks and then add 5 more. How many do they have now? Encourage them to try different combinations, like starting with 5 snacks and adding 3 more. Discuss how the total number of snacks remains the same no matter the order of addition. This activity helps them visualize and understand the concept of addition.
Balloon Addition Adventure: Use colored paper or balloons to represent numbers. For example, use 2 red balloons and 7 blue balloons. Ask the children to count how many balloons they have in total. Then switch the colors: 7 red balloons and 2 blue balloons. Do they still have the same total? This activity helps reinforce the idea that the order of numbers in addition doesn’t change the sum.
Story Time with Numbers: Create a simple story where characters have different numbers of items. For example, “Anna has 4 toy cars, and Ben gives her 3 more. How many toy cars does Anna have now?” Encourage the children to draw the story and solve the addition problem. Ask them to create their own stories with different numbers and share them with the class. This activity encourages creativity and application of addition in storytelling.
