A Magical Start to Maths: The Witch's Spell Poem

Introduction

Welcome to our enchanting Mathematics lesson, Year 4! Today, we will embark on a magical journey where numbers and poetry collide. We’ll begin with a whimsical "Witch's Spell" poem that will introduce us to some key mathematical concepts. Are you ready to cast a spell with numbers? Let's dive in!

The Spell

The Witch's Spell Poem

In a cauldron bubbling, numbers swirl,
Two plus two, give it a twirl!
Three magic potions in a line,
Add them up, and you’ll be fine!

Four green frogs jump on a log,
Multiply by three, what's the fog?
A cast of spells, a twist of fate,
What’s the answer? Don’t be late!

Five enchanted fairies in the air,
Divided by one, do you dare?
Count your blessings, and do it right,
With each calculation, a new delight!

Activities

After reading the poem together, we will take a closer look at the math involved in each verse.
