Good morning, class! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey into the world of Addition. To kick things off, I want you to imagine a magical forest where numbers live and play together. In this forest, every time two numbers meet, they join forces and create a new number! This is the essence of addition.
Once upon a time in a place called Numberland, there lived two friendly numbers: 3 and 5. They loved to play together in the fields of addition. One sunny day, they met near a sparkling river and decided to combine their strengths.
As they joined hands, something magical happened. They began to glow and grow until they transformed into a new number!
“What number are we now?” they wondered.
Now, let’s bring this story to life!
Visualisation: Take a moment to close your eyes and imagine this scene in Numberland. Picture numbers dancing and playing, exploring the magic of addition.
Class Activity: Let’s recreate this magical moment! I’ll call out two numbers, and I want you to shout out the new number that appears when they join together. For example:
Group Challenge: Break into pairs and create your own number friendships! Pick two numbers (anything from 1 to 10) and find out what they make when added together.
Just like the friends in Numberland, numbers can create wonderful new friends whenever they add together. Today, we will learn different ways to add numbers and discover how addition can help us in everyday life.
Let’s get started on our adventure in the magical forest of Addition! Are you ready? 🎈
