Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure in the world of numbers! We will learn how to add within 20 by solving fun problems and going on a treasure hunt.
Imagine you are a brave explorer in a magical forest filled with talking animals! Each animal you meet needs your help to count their friends. There are rabbits, squirrels, and even a wise old owl. But there's a secret! To help them, you need to solve math problems by adding numbers together.
Let's close our eyes for a moment and picture the magical forest. 🌳🌈 Can you see all the friendly animals waiting for your help?
Now that you're ready, let's meet our first friend!
Benny the Bunny has 7 carrots, and he wants to gather 5 more.
❓ How many carrots will Benny have in total?
Take a moment to think about it, and then write down your answer in your journal using a math sentence!
After you’ve written your answer, turn to your neighbor and share what you found!
Once we’ve all shared our answers, we’ll explore more math challenges to help all the animals in the forest. Are you ready to continue our adventure and add more numbers together?
Keep your explorer hats on, because the next animal is waiting for us! 🕵️♀️🦉
Now let’s jump into our adventure of adding within 20! Keep your eyes open and your math brains working! 🧠✨
