Fun with Part, Part, Whole!

Introduction

G’day, kiddos! Today we’re going to explore the exciting world of Part, Part, Whole in mathematics. Grab your thinking caps because we’re going on a fun adventure beneath the sea!

Lesson Starter: Under the Sea Adventure

Setting the Scene

Imagine we are underwater with friendly fish! 🐠 Every fish we see can be split into different parts. This is where our maths magic begins! For instance, if we have a big fish who wants to share its lunch made of smaller fish, we can learn how to break it down.

The Big Fish Story

Once upon a time, in the shimmering blue ocean, lived a big fish named Bubbles. Bubbles had two little friends—Nibbles and Swirls. Let’s find out how many fish are there altogether when Bubbles shares his lunch!

  1. Part 1: Nibbles had 1 fish for lunch.
  2. Part 2: Swirls had 2 fish for lunch.

Now, can anyone tell me how many fish Bubbles has altogether?

Engaging Question

What do you think? How can we find out how many fish Bubbles has altogether? Let’s count!

Activities

  1. Use Fish Cut-Outs:

    • Hand out cut-outs of fish that represent Nibbles and Swirls.
    • Ask the students to physically group their fish into Part 1 and Part 2 and then combine them to find the Whole.

  2. Drawing Time:

    • Let’s draw our own fish!
    • Each student can draw their favourite fish and assign a number to it. Then, we’ll do a little maths together to see how we can create part-part-whole scenarios with our drawings!

Wrap-Up

So remember, when we break up something into smaller parts, we are finding pieces of our whole! This fun underwater adventure shows us how numbers can come together to make something bigger. Now, let’s dive deeper and practice more with our part-part-whole ideas!

Conclusion

That’s the magic of Part, Part, Whole! By breaking numbers into smaller parts, we can understand them better. Are you ready to make a splash in math today? 💦
