ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts with Kate & Nate – The Plants (Addition & Subtraction)
Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun with Kate and Nate? Today, we’re going to learn about numbers using plants. Let’s see what happens!
Once upon a time, there were 10 plants in a garden. They were so green and happy!
Uh-oh! Someone stomped on 7 plants. Oh dear, that’s not good for the plants!
Let’s count how many plants are still standing. If we had 10 plants and 7 got stomped, how many are left? Let’s do the math:
So, there are 3 plants left in the garden. Hooray for the plants that are still standing!
Wasn’t that fun? We learned how to subtract numbers by counting plants. You can try this with your toys or snacks too!
Don’t forget to join Kate and Nate next time for more exciting math adventures. See you soon!
Plant Counting Adventure: Go on a mini adventure in your backyard or a nearby park with a grown-up. Count the number of different plants or flowers you see. Try to find at least 10 different ones. How many can you count? If you find 10 and then see 3 more, how many do you have in total? Use your fingers to help you add them up!
Subtraction Snack Time: Use your favorite snack, like crackers or fruit pieces, to practice subtraction. Start with 10 pieces. Pretend that 7 pieces are “stomped” and eat them. How many pieces are left? Share your answer with a friend or family member. You can try this with different numbers too!
Draw and Tell: Draw a picture of a garden with 10 plants. Then, draw 7 of them being stomped or crossed out. How many plants are still standing? Share your drawing with someone and explain what happened to the plants. Can you think of a story about how the plants got stomped?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
