Introduction: The Magical Forest

Storytime!

Gather around, everyone! Picture this: You are all brave explorers in a magical forest filled with friendly animals. Each animal loves to play games, but there’s one problem—they need your help to count their toys!

The Challenge

The wise old owl has sent us a message. Each animal has a certain number of toys, and they want to know how many toys they have in total. That's where you come in! We will be using addition to solve their playful puzzle.

Meet the Animals!

  1. Bunny has 2 carrots.
  2. Squirrel has 3 acorns.
  3. Turtle has 1 shell.

Let’s Add!

Now, let's help our animal friends! Here’s how we can find out how many toys all the animals have together.

Questions:

Write It Down

Let’s write the math sentences together:

  1. Bunny + Squirrel: 2 + 3 = ____

Hands-On Help

Using small counters (like blocks, beans, or erasers), let’s count the toys together. You can have your own set of counters to help you visualize the addition!
