A Fun Start to Our Addition Adventure!

Introduction

Hello, Super Mathematicians! 🎉 Today, we are embarking on a thrilling adventure into the world of Addition! But before we dive into our lesson, let’s warm up our brains with a fun and exciting story!

The Great Banana Quest 🐒🍌

Story Time

Once upon a time in a colorful jungle, there lived a curious monkey named Max. Max loved bananas more than anything else in the world! One sunny morning, Max decided to go on a quest to collect the tastiest bananas.

As he swung from tree to tree, he spotted his friend Ellie the Elephant. "Hey, Max!" Ellie called out. "How many bananas do you have?"

"I have 3 bananas!" replied Max.

"Awesome! I have 2 bananas too!" said Ellie with a big smile.

Let's Ask a Question!

Now, friends, let's help Max and Ellie! If we put Max's bananas and Ellie's bananas together, how many bananas do they have in total?

Think and Share

How can we find the answer? (Encourage students to think about addition.)
Can anyone tell me how we can write this as a math problem?

Try It Out!

Now, grab a pencil and paper! Let’s solve the problem together using addition:

3 (Max's Bananas) + 2 (Ellie's Bananas) = ?

Conclusion

After we find out how many bananas Max and Ellie have together, we will discuss what addition means and how we can use it in our everyday lives! Get ready to dive into our addition quest and discover the magic of numbers! 🌟

Let’s get started! Who’s excited for some addition fun?
