ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts Addition & Subtraction – Worksheet 2
Hey there, little math explorer! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Today, we’re going to learn about adding and subtracting. Let’s get started!
When we add numbers, we are putting them together to find out how many we have in total. It’s like having a bunch of toys and counting them all to see how many you have!
Imagine you have 10 apples, and your friend gives you 10 more. How many apples do you have now? That’s right, 10 plus 10 equals 20 apples!
Now, let’s say you have 5 candies, and you get 2 more from your friend, and then 9 more from another friend. How many candies do you have now? Let’s add them up: 5 plus 2 plus 9 equals 16 candies!
Here’s another one: If you have 5 toy cars and you get 5 more, how many toy cars do you have? Yes, 5 plus 5 equals 10 toy cars!
What if you have 4 balloons and you get 6 more? How many balloons do you have now? That’s right, 4 plus 6 equals 10 balloons!
Subtraction is when we take some numbers away. It’s like if you have a pile of cookies and you eat some, you count how many are left!
Imagine you have 11 marbles, and you give 3 to your friend. How many marbles do you have left? You had 11, and you took away 3, so now you have 8 marbles!
Math is like a puzzle, and the more you practice, the better you get at solving it! Keep playing with numbers, and soon you’ll be a math superstar!
Thanks for learning with me today. Remember, math can be fun and exciting, just like a big adventure!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your house or classroom! Find different objects and count them. For example, how many chairs are there? How many books can you find? Write down the numbers and try adding them together. Can you find a way to make 10 using different objects?
Subtraction Storytime: Create a story using your toys. Start with a certain number of toys, and as you tell your story, take some away. For example, “Once upon a time, there were 8 toy dinosaurs. Then, 3 went on an adventure to the jungle. How many are left?” Use your toys to act out the story and see how many are left after each part of the story.
Snack Math: Use your snacks to practice addition and subtraction. Start with a small pile of snacks, like crackers or grapes. Add a few more and count how many you have in total. Then, eat some and count how many are left. Try to make different combinations and see if you can predict how many will be left before you count.
