Welcome, young explorers! Today, we are going to embark on a magical adventure where numbers come to life and we’ll learn about addition in a fun and exciting way. So, grab your imaginary capes and get ready to soar into the world of numbers!
Once upon a time in the land of Numerville, there lived a friendly group of animals. Each animal loved to collect shiny stars that twinkled in the sky. Every night, they would count their stars and sometimes they wanted to know how many stars they collected together.
One night, Benny and Lola decided to combine their collections to see how many stars they had in total.
Can you help Benny and Lola find out how many stars they have together?
As you think about the answer, let’s use a magical addition spell!
To combine their stars, we write an addition sentence. Can you guess how we might write it?
We can write it like this:
3 (Benny's stars) + 2 (Lola's stars) = ?Now, let’s solve it together!
So, how many stars do they have altogether?
Benny and Lola have 5 stars together!
Great job, young explorers! You just used your addition skills to help our friends.
Now it’s your turn! Let’s create our own animal friends and their star collections.
Remember, in Numerville, math can be magical! ✨
Today, you’ve not only learned about addition but also how to work together, just like Benny and Lola. Keep exploring the magical world of numbers!
Happy adventuring!
