A Fun Beginning to Our Math Lesson: Addition Adventure!

Introduction: The Magic of Numbers

Hello, Super Mathematicians! 🌟 Today, we're going to embark on an exciting Addition Adventure! But first, let’s get our imaginations buzzing. Are you ready?

The Story of the Lost Cookies 🍪

Once upon a time in a land filled with delicious cookies, there was a small, friendly bear named Benny. Benny loved to share cookies with his friends. One day, Benny baked 3 yummy chocolate chip cookies and 2 delicious peanut butter cookies.

As he looked at his cookie platter, he thought, “How many cookies do I have to share?”

Let’s Help Benny Count His Cookies!

1. Picture It: Close your eyes and imagine Benny with his cookie platter. Can you see those 3 chocolate chip cookies and 2 peanut butter cookies?
2. Ask: Can you count how many cookies Benny has altogether?

Your Mission: Solve the Mystery!

Let’s find out together! We will use our fingers, draw, or even use small objects like crayons or blocks to help us.

• Chocolate Chip Cookies: 3 🍪🍪🍪
• Peanut Butter Cookies: 2 🍪🍪

The Big Question

How can we find out how many cookies Benny has?

• Join Together: When we put 3 and 2 together, we add them!
• Counting Together: Let’s count: 1, 2, 3 … 4, 5!

Conclusion: The Answer

Benny has 5 cookies to share!

Now, with this fun story, you’re ready to dive into the world of addition! Today, we will learn how to add numbers just like Benny added his cookies. Are you excited? Let’s get started! 🎉
