Welcome to our exciting math adventure, second graders! Today, we are going to dive into the world of Doubles Addition. But before we jump into numbers, let’s start with a magical story that will help us understand what doubles really are!
Imagine you discover a hidden garden behind your school. In this garden, there are some special magical flowers. The magic of these flowers is that they love to grow in pairs — meaning they always have a buddy!
🌸 Petal and Daisy are the first pair of flowers. When they are together, they make 2 flowers!
🌺 Rose and Lily are next. When they join Petal and Daisy, the total number of flowers is 4!
🌼 Now, Sunflower and Tulip appear! All of our flower friends together make 6 flowers!
🌷 Finally, Orchid and Marigold join the party! How many flowers do we have now? That’s right, 8 flowers!
Now that we’ve met our friendly flowers, let’s use our math skills to help Petal and her friends grow!
Grab your math mats and crayons! You will draw your own magical flowers in pairs and practice doubles addition. Afterward, we will share our drawings and add up the total flowers together.
Let’s embark on this garden adventure, where math is not just numbers and equations but a fun story full of possibilities! Who’s ready to grow some flowers while mastering doubles addition? 🌼🌺
