Hello, little mathematicians! Today, we are going on a fun adventure in the magical land of Addition. Are you ready to explore how numbers can come together to make bigger numbers? Let’s get started!


🎭 The Magic Show: Adding Friends

Step 1: Meet Our Characters

Imagine you are at a party with two friendly kangaroos named Kiki and Bingo. Let's see what happens when they come together!

Step 2: The Balloon Surprise!

Now, let’s find out how many balloons they have in total when they join together!

How many balloons do Kiki and Bingo have together?

Let’s count them!

Now, let’s add them together!

1 + 1 = 2

So, when Kiki and Bingo come together, they have 2 balloons! 🎉


🎨 Let's Make It Colorful!

Activity - Balloon Count

  1. Draw two balloon pictures—one for Kiki and one for Bingo.

  2. Colour Kiki's balloon and Bingo's balloon.

  3. Write a simple addition equation at the bottom of your drawing, like this:

    1 + 1 = 2

Share your colourful drawing with a friend and count the balloons together!


🚀 Time to Shine!

Now that you’ve learned about adding with Kiki and Bingo's balloons, you can use this magic with any numbers! Remember, addition is all about bringing numbers together to find out how many there are in total.
