ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Math Facts with Kate & Nate – The Sandcastles (Addition & Subtraction)
Hi there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with Kate and Nate at the beach. They love building sandcastles, and we can learn some math while playing with them!
Look at all the sandcastles! There are nine sandcastles on the beach. Let’s count them together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Wow, that’s a lot of sandcastles!
Oh no! The waves washed away some of the sandcastles. Now, there are only six sandcastles left. Let’s see how many went away. If we had nine sandcastles and three are gone, we can say: 9 minus 3 equals 6. Can you count the remaining sandcastles with me? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Great job!
Isn’t it fun to learn math with sandcastles? You can try this at home with your toys. Count them, take some away, and see how many are left. It’s like magic math!
Kate and Nate love playing and learning, and they want you to join them. Keep having fun with numbers, and you’ll be a math whiz in no time!
Remember, math is all around us, even at the beach. So, keep counting and playing!
Sandcastle Building Challenge: Gather some building blocks or use small cups to create your own sandcastles at home. Build a total of ten sandcastles. Then, pretend that a wave comes and washes away some of them. How many are left? Try different numbers of sandcastles being washed away and count how many remain each time. This will help you practice subtraction in a fun way!
Number Hunt at the Beach: Next time you visit the beach or a sandbox, look for different objects like shells, pebbles, or sticks. Count how many you find and then group them into sets of five or ten. How many groups can you make? This activity helps you practice counting and grouping, just like counting sandcastles!
Story Time with Numbers: Create a short story with your family about a day at the beach with Kate and Nate. Include numbers in your story, like how many sandcastles they built or how many waves came by. Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them to count the numbers with you. This will help you see how numbers can be part of stories and everyday life!
