Hey there! Today, we’re going to have fun with numbers. We will learn how to add numbers together. Are you ready? Let’s go!
When we add numbers, we put them together to find out how many we have in total. Let’s start with the number one:
If you have one apple and you get two more apples, how many apples do you have now? Let’s count: One, two, three! That’s right, one plus two equals three!
Now, if you have two apples and you get one more apple, how many apples do you have? Let’s count again: One, two, three! Two plus one equals three!
What if you have one toy car and you get three more? Let’s count them: One, two, three, four! One plus three equals four!
Now, if you have three toy cars and you get one more, how many do you have? Count with me: One, two, three, four! Three plus one equals four!
Let’s try another one. If you have one cookie and you get four more cookies, how many cookies do you have? Count them: One, two, three, four, five! One plus four equals five!
And if you have four cookies and you get one more, how many cookies do you have? Let’s count: One, two, three, four, five! Four plus one equals five!
Here’s one more! If you have one balloon and you get five more balloons, how many balloons do you have? Count with me: One, two, three, four, five, six! One plus five equals six!
Finally, if you have five balloons and you get one more, how many balloons do you have? Let’s count: One, two, three, four, five, six! Five plus one equals six!
Wow, you did an amazing job learning how to add numbers! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a math superstar. Remember, adding is just putting things together to see how many you have. Have fun with your numbers!
Apple Addition Adventure: Gather some apples or any small objects like blocks or toy cars. Ask the children to start with one object and then add more, just like in the examples from the lesson. For instance, start with one apple and add two more. How many do they have now? Encourage them to count out loud and write down the number sentence (e.g., 1 + 2 = 3). This hands-on activity helps them visualize and understand addition.
Number Line Hop: Create a simple number line on the floor using tape or chalk. Have the children stand on the number one and then “hop” forward as they add more numbers. For example, if they are adding one plus three, they start on one and hop three spaces forward. Ask them to say the numbers out loud as they hop. This physical activity reinforces the concept of addition as moving forward on the number line.
Story Time Math: Encourage the children to create their own addition stories using toys or drawings. For example, “I have one teddy bear, and I got two more for my birthday. How many teddy bears do I have now?” Let them draw the story or use toys to act it out. Ask them to share their stories with the class and explain the addition they used. This activity promotes creativity and helps them apply addition in real-life scenarios.
