Lesson Introduction: Exploring Division with the Help of Friends

🐻 Welcome to the Bear's Picnic!

Introduction

Hello, little learners! Today, we are going to join Benny the Bear for a special picnic! Benny loves sharing his yummy snacks with his friends, and through his adventures, we will discover the magic of division!

Setting the Scene

Imagine that we are in a beautiful forest with tall trees and bright flowers all around us. Benny has packed his basket full of delicious treats. But wait! Benny has five tasty sandwiches and three playful animal friends. How will he make sure everyone gets to enjoy the picnic without anyone missing out?

Interactive Storytime

Let's read Benny's story together!

1. The Story of Benny the Bear
   Benny the Bear walked into the forest with his picnic basket. "Oh, I can't wait to share my sandwiches with my friends!" he said happily. He spotted Luna the Rabbit, Oliver the Squirrel, and Milo the Hedgehog.

2. Sharing Time
   Benny said, "I have five sandwiches, and we are four friends altogether (including me). How can I share my sandwiches so that everyone gets a piece?"
   Let's think together! How can we divide the 5 sandwiches among the 4 friends?

Discussion: Let's Share!

• Question: If we give one sandwich to each friend (including Benny), how many will be left?
• Hands-On Activity: Use pretend food or toys to represent the sandwiches and see how we can divide them among us!

Invitation to Engage

Now that we've met Benny and his friends, let's dive into our activities! First, we will draw pictures of Benny sharing his sandwiches, and then we will play games that help us understand division even more!
