Welcome to Math with Dogs! 🐶✨

Introduction

Good morning, Little Mathematicians! Today, we have a super fun lesson planned all about dogs—the playful pups we all love! Get ready to explore numbers, shapes, and counting through an exciting adventure featuring our furry friends.

Story Time: "Doggy Daycare"

Let’s start our lesson with a story! Sit down in a cozy spot as I read to you about a special daycare for dogs. In this daycare, we have different breeds of dogs coming to play.

Here’s a little sneak peek of the story:

Once upon a time, in a bustling town, there was a magical doggy daycare. Here, the dogs loved to play and learn. There were big dogs, small dogs, fluffy dogs, and tiny dogs—all ready for their fun day. But how many dogs are there? Let’s find out together!

Activity: Counting Our Furry Friends

Now, let’s help our friends at the doggy daycare. I need your help to count how many dogs we have!

Step 1: Welcome Our Dogs

  1. Picture Cards: I have some picture cards of different dogs. (Show cards of different dog breeds.)
    • Golden Retriever: 3 cards
    • Chihuahua: 2 cards
    • Beagle: 4 cards

Step 2: Count Together

Let's count how many dogs we have in total.

Step 3: Add Them Up!

Now, let’s add our dogs together!

Bonus: Doggy Shapes

Once we finish counting, let’s see if we can find shapes in our dog pictures!

Conclusion

Great job today, everyone! You’ve not only counted our dog friends but also found shapes too. Math can be so much fun, especially when we think about our paws-itively adorable pets!

Wrap Up

Next time you see a dog, think about all the fun math you could do with them! 🐾

Let’s wag our tails and get ready for more learning! 🌟


Thank you for joining me in this mathematical adventure today!
