Welcome to the Magical World of Maths!

Introduction

🌟 Good morning, little mathematicians! Today, we’re going to embark on an exciting journey in the magical world of maths! Are you ready to solve some mysteries and uncover treasures?

The Enchanted Maths Quest

The Setting

Imagine you are brave adventurers in a magical kingdom where numbers dance and shapes sing. A mischievous wizard has scattered magical numbers and shapes all around, and it’s our job to find them!

The Challenge

🧙‍♂️ The wizard has left us a riddle to solve! He says, "In my enchanted forest, there are 10 magical apples hanging from the trees. If two clever squirrels take some away, how many apples are left? Solve my riddle, and I shall grant you a treasure!"

Activity: Riddle Time!

1. Discussion: Gather in a circle and share your ideas about what the riddle means. How many apples might the squirrels take?
2. Visualisation: Draw a picture of the enchanted forest with the apples on the trees. Label your drawing with numbers.

Let’s Solve It!

• Step 1: Count the apples together.
• Step 2: Subtract the number of apples the squirrels take to find out how many are left.
• Step 3: Share your answers with a friend.

Conclusion

Once we solve the wizard's riddle, we will receive our treasure—wonderful stickers to decorate our classes with! 🏆 So put on your thinking caps, grab your pencils, and let’s turn our guesses into answers!

Let the adventure begin! ✨
