ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts with Kate & Nate – The Buckets (Addition & Subtraction)
Today, we are going to have fun with some buckets and learn a little math too!
Look, there are four buckets! Can you count them with me? One, two, three, four! Great job!
Oh no! One bucket flew away. Now, how many buckets are left? Let’s count again. One, two, three! There are three buckets left.
We just did some math magic called subtraction! When we had four buckets and one flew away, we did four minus one. That equals three! Isn’t that cool?
Math can be so much fun, especially when we play with things like buckets. Keep counting and subtracting, and you’ll be a math whiz in no time!
Don’t forget to join us next time for more fun and learning. See you soon!
Bucket Hunt: Go on a bucket hunt around your home or classroom! Find different objects that can be used as buckets, like cups or small containers. Count how many you find. Then, pretend that one of your buckets flies away. How many are left? Try this with different numbers of buckets and see how subtraction works in real life!
Subtraction Story Time: Create a story with your friends or family about buckets. Start with a certain number of buckets, and then imagine different scenarios where buckets fly away or new ones appear. How does the number of buckets change? Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with others!
Bucket Balance: Use a balance scale and small objects like pebbles or blocks. Place a certain number of objects in one bucket on the scale. Then, remove some objects and see how the balance changes. This will help you understand subtraction and see how taking away objects affects the balance.
