Introduction

Hello, bright mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure into the land of Adding! Are you ready to discover how we can make numbers dance and play together? Let’s start with a magical story that will help us understand the power of addition!

The Great Fruit Party 🍎🍌🍍

Imagine it’s a sunny day in Fruitville, where all the fruits come alive. Today is a special day because they are throwing a Great Fruit Party! The fruits need your help to count how many friends are coming.

The Invitation

• Mr. Apple is welcoming 3 of his apple friends.
• Ms. Banana is bringing 2 of her banana buddies.

Let’s Solve the Mystery!

1. How many apples are at the party?
   Mr. Apple has 3 friends.
   So, total apples = 1 (Mr. Apple) + 3 = 4 apples.

2. How many bananas will join?
   Ms. Banana is bringing 2 friends.
   So, total bananas = 1 (Ms. Banana) + 2 = 3 bananas.

Time to Add!

Now, let’s find out the total number of fruits at the party!

• Total fruits = Total apples + Total bananas
• Total fruits = 4 (apples) + 3 (bananas)

Your Turn!

Grab your magical number wand (or your pencil) and let’s do some adding together!

• If Mr. Grape brings 5 of his grape friends, how many total fruits do we have at the party now?

Write down your answer under the following question:

Total fruits now = ___

Conclusion

Great job, math wizards! You have helped Mr. Apple, Ms. Banana, and Mr. Grape have a wonderful party by using your addition skills. Remember, addition is a powerful tool that helps us bring numbers together. Keep practicing, and soon you'll be adding like a pro!

Now let’s gather around and share how many fruits we counted! 🍉
