ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Addition & Subtraction – Worksheet 1
Hey there, little math explorer! Today, we’re going to have fun with numbers. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Adding is like putting things together. Imagine you have one apple, and your friend gives you another apple. Now you have two apples! That’s what adding is all about.
1 + 1 = 2
When you have one thing and add one more, you get two things!
1 + 2 = 3
If you have one thing and add two more, you get three things!
1 + 3 = 4
When you have one thing and add three more, you get four things!
2 + 2 = 4
If you have two things and add two more, you get four things!
Subtraction is like taking things away. Imagine you have three cookies, and you eat one. Now you have two cookies left. That’s subtraction!
3 – 1 = 2
If you have three things and take one away, you have two things left!
4 – 2 = 2
When you have four things and take two away, you have two things left!
Now it’s your turn! Try adding and subtracting with your toys or snacks. Count them, add some more, or take some away. It’s fun to see how numbers work!
Remember, math is like a big adventure. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. Keep exploring and have fun with numbers every day!
Great job, little math explorer! You’re doing amazing!
Apple Addition Adventure: Gather some apples or any small objects like blocks or toy cars. Start with one apple and ask your child to add one more. How many do they have now? Continue adding more apples and counting them together. Encourage your child to create their own addition stories using the objects. For example, “I had two apples, and I found one more. How many do I have now?”
Cookie Subtraction Game: Use cookies or any snack items. Start with a small number, like three cookies. Ask your child to pretend to eat one and count how many are left. Repeat with different numbers, encouraging them to tell a story about what happens when they “eat” the cookies. For example, “I had four cookies, and I ate two. How many are left?” This makes subtraction fun and relatable.
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom. Look for numbers in everyday places, like on clocks, books, or calendars. Ask your child to find two numbers and add them together or subtract one from the other. This helps them see how numbers are part of their world and practice math in a real-life context.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
