Hey there! Today, we’re going to have fun with numbers. We will learn how to add numbers together. Adding means putting numbers together to make a bigger number. Let’s see how it works!
Let’s start with some number friends:
Imagine you have four apples, and your friend gives you five more apples. How many apples do you have now? Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9! So, four plus five equals nine!
Now, if you have one cookie and get nine more cookies, how many cookies do you have? Let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! One plus nine equals ten!
What if you have one toy and find eight more toys? Let’s see: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9! One plus eight equals nine!
Imagine you have two balloons, and you get seven more. How many balloons do you have? Count with me: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9! Two plus seven equals nine!
If you have three books and get six more books, how many books do you have? Let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9! Three plus six equals nine!
Finally, if you have two pencils and find eight more pencils, how many pencils do you have? Count with me: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Two plus eight equals ten!
Wow, you did an amazing job adding numbers! Remember, adding is like putting things together to make more. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a math superstar in no time!
Apple Addition Adventure: Gather some apples or any small objects like blocks or toys. Start with a small number, like 3 apples, and ask a friend or family member to give you more, say 4 apples. Count them all together to see how many you have now. Try different combinations and see how many different ways you can make the number 9 or 10!
Number Line Hop: Create a number line on the floor using tape or draw one on a piece of paper. Start at zero and use a small toy or a coin as a marker. Roll a dice to see how many steps to move forward and add that number to your current position. For example, if you start at 2 and roll a 5, hop to number 7. Practice adding different numbers and see how far you can go!
Story Time Addition: Create a short story with your friends or family where you have to add things together. For example, “Once upon a time, there were 3 little ducks swimming in a pond. Then, 6 more ducks joined them. How many ducks are there now?” Draw pictures to go along with your story and count the total together. Share your story with others and see if they can solve your addition problem!
