Fire Safety Math Adventure! 🔥➕✨

Introduction

Welcome, little mathematicians! Today, we’re going to embark on an exciting adventure where we will learn about fire safety and practice our math skills at the same time. Are you ready to help our friendly firefighters while counting, sorting, and solving puzzles? Let’s go!

Start with a Story: "Firefighter Freddie Saves the Day"

Gather around, friends! Sit comfortably as we read about our hero, Firefighter Freddie.

The Story:

Firefighter Freddie is extra brave and always ready to help. One sunny day, while he was at the fire station, a bell rang! 🚨 It was time to rescue a cat stuck in a tree. But first, he had to check his special fire truck.

Can You Count with Freddie?

Freddie’s Fire Truck has:

• 4 Fire Hoses
• 2 Fire Axes
• 1 Big Water Tank

Freddy needs your help to make sure he has everything he needs before he goes out to help. Let’s count together!

Questions:

1. How many fire hoses does Freddie have? (Count with fingers)
2. How many fire axes does Freddie carry?
3. If you add the hoses and axes together, how many tools does Freddie have in total?

Fun Activity: “Fire Safety Sorting”

Now that we’ve helped Freddie count, let’s play a fun sorting game!

Materials Needed:

• Pictures of items related to fire safety (like a fire extinguisher, smoke alarm, and firefighter helmet)
• A box or basket to sort items into
• Sticky notes or cards with numbers on them (1, 2, 3)

Instructions:

1. Sort the Items: You need to help sort the pictures into “Fire Safety” and “Not Fire Safety.”
2. Count with Your Team: As you sort, count how many items are in the “Fire Safety” pile.
3. Match Numbers: Once you've sorted, place a sticky note with the number matching how many items are in the pile next to it.

Wrap-Up: Fire Safety Math Cheer! 🎉

To finish our lesson, let’s do a fun cheer!

"Count the tools, big and small,
Fire safety is for us all!
Freddy needs our counting skills,
Helping firefighters gives us thrills!"

Now, you are all fantastic little helpers just like Firefighter Freddie! You’ve learned about fire safety and practiced your counting. Great job, everyone! 🥳

Goodbye!

Remember, fire safety is super important, and knowing how to count helps us stay safe and ready. Until next time, keep those numbers tall and your safety hat on!
