G'day, Year 5! 🌟 Get ready to embark on an exciting adventure in the world of Mathematics, where we're going to explore the magical realm of number group adding and subtraction! Today, we’re not just going to crunch numbers; we’re going to unleash our inner mathematical adventurers!
To kick off our lesson, let's jump into a fun activity called the Number Hunt! Here's how it works:
Gather Your Adventuring Gear: Grab some paper and a pencil. You're going to need it!
Start Your Quest: I’ll call out a number between 10 and 100. Your job is to find that number in your surroundings. It could be in a book’s page number, a clock, or even on a cereal box!
Report Back: Once you find your number, write it down and be ready to share where you found it!
Let’s say I call out the number 36. I might find it on the calendar, marking the 36th week of the year. Write down where you find your numbers!
Once you've completed the Number Hunt, we'll gather back as a class. I want you to think about how these numbers can not just exist on their own but can also combine and subtract from each other.
Next, I’ll hand out a group of numbers (a number group!) for everyone to work with. We’ll explore how we can add them together to form new numbers and subtract them to find out what remains.
Example number group: 12, 25, 7, 19
Let’s unveil the mystery of number combinations!
So, are you ready to become Number Wizards today? 🧙♂️ Let's dust off our magic wands (a.k.a. our pencils) and dive deep into the art of addition and subtraction! Remember, every great adventure starts with a single step (or in our case, a single sum or difference).
Let’s make today’s math lesson not just about numbers, but about the adventure we can have with them! Ready, set, count! 🎉
