Hello, everyone! Today, we're going to embark on a magical journey to discover the Friends of 10! Are you ready to meet some amazing number buddies? Let's begin our adventure with a fun story!
Once upon a time, in a land full of numbers, there lived a happy little number named 10. But you know what made 10 even happier? It had many friends! These friends loved to play together, and they always added up to make 10.
One sunny morning, 10 decided to throw a party and invited all its friends. Let me introduce you to some of them:
1 and 9: They were the best dancers at the party! Together, they danced happily, and when they joined hands, they made 10!
2 and 8: This pair loved to sing. Whenever they sang together, their voices combined to make a beautiful song that added up to 10!
3 and 7: They were known for playing games. Their favourite game was finding treasures that also added up to 10.
4 and 6: These two were artistic friends who loved to paint. They created colorful pictures that always showed 10 when they counted them.
5: This special friend liked to hang out with everyone. Whenever 5 was around, it made sure the party was always equal, because it could pair with 5 to always make 10!
After the story, let’s have a fun counting activity!
Take out your fingers and count with me!
Now, let’s draw! Grab your colour pencils and draw your own friends of 10. You can make groups of different fingers or even numbers.
To wrap up our lesson, let’s sing a fun song about our number friends! Here’s a little tune to get us started:
🎶 One and nine, dance around,
Two and eight, sing a sound,
Three and seven, play a game,
Four and six, paint the same,
Five and five, they’re all so neat,
Together they make 10! Isn’t that sweet? 🎶
You all did a fantastic job today exploring the Friends of 10! Remember, each of these numbers is special, and together they can create the magic number 10.
Let’s keep this number adventure going and see how many more fun friends of numbers we can find!
For homework, try to find things around your house that come in pairs to make 10. Maybe 10 cookies or 10 building blocks? Bring your discoveries to class tomorrow!
I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you find! Keep counting and have fun! 🎈😊
