Dear Second Graders,
Are you ready to embark on a fun-filled math journey? Today, we’re going to unlock the magic of adding and subtracting! But first, let’s start our lesson with an exciting story!
Imagine this: It’s a sunny afternoon, and you are in the kitchen with your favorite cookie jar. Your mom just baked 10 delicious cookies! 🍪
Suddenly, your mischievous puppy, Buddy, jumps up and swipes 3 cookies from the jar before you can stop him. Oh no! Now we have to solve the mystery of how many cookies are left!
How many cookies did we start with?
We began with 10 cookies.
How many cookies did Buddy take?
Buddy took 3 cookies.
How many cookies are left in the jar?
This is the big question!
Now it’s your turn to be the math detectives! We’re going to find out how many cookies are left by doing some adding and subtracting.
Get your math tools ready! Grab a piece of paper and a pencil, or maybe some small objects like buttons or blocks. Let's work together to solve the mystery of the missing cookies!
Are you all set for a fun math adventure? Let’s dive in! 🏊♂️
Remember: Math is not just about numbers, it's about finding solutions to fun problems like our cookie caper. Let's add and subtract our way to success!
