Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Today, we’re going to learn about adding numbers together. It’s like a magic trick where two numbers come together to make a new number. Let’s see how it works!
When we add numbers, we are putting them together to find out how many we have in total. Let’s try some examples:
If you have one apple and you get eight more apples, how many apples do you have now? That’s right, you have nine apples! So, we say:
1 + 8 = 9
And guess what? If you start with eight apples and add one more, you still have nine apples:
8 + 1 = 9
Let’s try another one! If you have five candies and your friend gives you seven more, how many candies do you have? You have twelve candies! So:
5 + 7 = 12
And if you start with seven candies and add five more, you still get twelve:
7 + 5 = 12
Here are some more number pairs that add up to the same total:
Now it’s your turn! Try adding numbers around you. Maybe you can count your toys or your books. Remember, adding is like making new friends with numbers. Have fun and keep practicing!
Happy adding!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your house or classroom. Find objects that you can count, like toys, books, or blocks. Try adding them together. For example, count how many red and blue blocks you have and add them together. Can you find different combinations that add up to the same number?
Story Time Addition: Create a short story using your favorite toys or characters. For example, “Three teddy bears went to a picnic, and two more joined them. How many teddy bears are at the picnic now?” Draw a picture of your story and write the addition sentence that goes with it. Share your story with a friend or family member!
Number Line Jump: Make a number line on the floor using tape or paper. Start at zero and jump forward to add numbers. For example, start at 0, jump to 3, then jump 4 more spaces. Where do you land? Try different starting points and jumps. Can you find a pattern in your jumps?
