ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts with Kate & Nate – The Birds (Addition & Subtraction)
Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Today, we’re going to learn about adding and taking away with our friends, Kate and Nate. Let’s see what they’re up to!
Once upon a time, there were 20 shiny, red apples. Can you imagine them all piled up? That’s a lot of apples!
Oh no! Three apples decided to roll away. Let’s count how many apples are left. If we start with 20 apples and 3 apples roll away, how many do we have now?
Let’s do the math together: 20 apples minus 3 apples equals 17 apples. So, there are 17 apples left. Great job!
Did you know that you can play with numbers just like Kate and Nate? You can try counting your toys or snacks. If you have 10 toys and you give 2 to a friend, how many do you have left? It’s just like our apple story!
Math is like a big adventure, and there are so many things to discover. You can count, add, and subtract with anything around you. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math whiz in no time!
Thanks for learning with us today. We can’t wait to see what fun math adventures we’ll have next time!
Apple Counting Adventure: Gather some apples or any round objects like balls or toy blocks. Start with a specific number, like 10, and ask the children to count them. Then, remove a few and ask them to count how many are left. Encourage them to use their fingers to help with counting. Ask questions like, “If we take away 2 apples, how many do we have now?” This hands-on activity helps them visualize subtraction.
Snack Math: During snack time, give each child a small number of snacks, like crackers or grapes. Ask them to count how many they have. Then, ask them to share a few with a friend and count how many are left. Pose questions such as, “If you have 8 grapes and you give 3 to a friend, how many do you have left?” This activity makes math relatable and fun.
Number Detective: Go on a number hunt around the classroom or home. Ask the children to find and count different objects, like chairs, books, or pencils. Encourage them to write down the numbers they find. Ask questions like, “How many books are on the shelf? If we add 2 more, how many will there be?” This activity encourages observation and application of math in everyday life.
