Hi everyone! Welcome to the theme park! It’s a super fun place to learn subtraction. Are you ready to play with Dino and Saury?
Look, there are three balloons floating in the air. Let’s see what happens if we pop one! We have three balloons, and we take away one. How many are left? Let’s count: one, two. There are two balloons left! So, three minus one equals two. Great job!
Now, there are four balloons. Let’s try to pop two of them. We have four balloons, and we take away two. How many are left? Let’s count: one, two. There are two balloons left! So, four minus two equals two. You’re doing amazing!
Wow, there are five balloons now! Let’s pop two. We have five balloons, and we take away two. How many are left? Let’s count: one, two, three. There are three balloons left! So, five minus two equals three. You’re a subtraction star!
Look, there are six balloons! Let’s pop three of them. We have six balloons, and we take away three. How many are left? Let’s count: one, two, three. There are three balloons left! So, six minus three equals three. Subtraction is so much fun!
There are six balloons again. Let’s pop four this time. We have six balloons, and we take away four. How many are left? Let’s count: one, two. There are two balloons left! So, six minus four equals two. You’re a subtraction expert!
Oh no, we’ve run out of balloons! But don’t worry, you’ve learned a lot about subtraction. And guess what? You still have your yummy cotton candy! If you want to keep learning and having fun, try the Smile and Learn platform. You can play games, watch videos, and read stories. Have fun learning!
Balloon Subtraction Hunt: At home or in the classroom, gather some balloons or use paper cutouts. Write numbers on each balloon. Ask your child to pop or remove a certain number of balloons and count how many are left. For example, if you have 5 balloons and you pop 2, how many are left? This hands-on activity helps children visualize subtraction.
Subtraction Story Time: Encourage your child to create a short story using toys or drawings. For example, “Once upon a time, there were 5 toy cars. Two cars drove away. How many cars are left?” Let them act out or draw the story, then solve the subtraction problem. This activity helps children connect subtraction to real-life scenarios.
Subtraction Detective: Go on a subtraction adventure around your home or school. Ask your child to find groups of objects (like apples, books, or blocks) and create subtraction problems. For instance, “There are 8 apples. If we eat 3, how many are left?” Encourage them to write down their findings and solutions. This activity promotes observation and application of subtraction in everyday life.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] Hi everyone! This theme park is just awesome! Are you having a good time? Oops, your balloon just popped. Shall we go get you another one? What are you playing? You’ve got perfect aim! That’s a great way to learn how to do subtractions. Would you like to practice for a while?
Let’s find out how good my aim is. There are one, two, and three balloons, and I’m going to see if I can burst one of them. The subtraction we need to do is three minus one. This means there are three balloons, and I have to burst one. I’m going to aim well to see how many I’ll have left. Fantastic! I aimed well. Let’s see how many there are now: one and two. There are two balloons left. The result of subtracting one from three equals two. My aim is truly good!
Some balloons are flying away. There are one, two, three, and four balloons, and I’m going to try to aim at two of them. How many balloons will there be left? We need to subtract four minus two. This means that out of four balloons, we need to take away two. I’m going to aim well to see how many I’ll have left. One and two! Yes! Let’s see how many balloons we’ve got left: one and two. There are two balloons left. The result of subtracting two from four is two. I’m so good at shooting the slingshot!
You’ve let more balloons fly away. There are one, two, three, four, and five balloons. How many will there be left if I aim at two of them? The subtraction we need to do is five minus two. I’ll aim at two out of five balloons. What will the result be? One and two! Amazing! Let’s see how many we’ve got left: one, two, and three. We’ve got three balloons left. The result of subtracting two from five is three. I love playing with my slingshot!
You’ve let more balloons fly away. There are one, two, three, four, five, and six balloons. How many will there be if I aim at three of them? The subtraction we need to do is six minus three. Out of six balloons, I’ll aim at three. What will the result be? One, two, and three! Yes! Let’s see how many I’ve got left: one, two, and three. There are three balloons left. Six minus three equals three. Doing subtractions is great fun!
You’ve let more balloons fly away. There are one, two, three, four, five, and six balloons. How many will there be if I aim at four of them? The subtraction we need to do is six minus four. Out of six balloons, I’ll aim at four. What will the result be? One, two, three, and four! Well, let’s see how many we’ve got left: we’ve got one and two balloons left. Six minus four equals two. I love doing subtractions!
You’ve run out of balloons, friends. Well, at least you’ve learned how to do subtractions, and you still have all that yummy cotton candy! My, my, you’re never full! Do you want to keep on learning?
