Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey through the Land of Numbers where we will discover the magic of addition!
Let’s start our adventure with a short story. Gather around, my young explorers!
In a distant land called Additonisia, there lived a kind Queen named Addy. Queen Addy had a very special magical bag that could combine anything she put inside it. One day, she decided to host a grand party for all the creatures of her kingdom, but she needed help to prepare.
“What kind of party would it be without enough food?!” Queen Addy exclaimed. She called upon her friends, the rabbits and the squirrels, to gather snacks.
“How many yummy snacks do I have to serve to my guests?” Queen Addy wondered.
Now, it’s your turn to help Queen Addy!
Questions:
As we brainstorm ideas, please take out a piece of paper and draw Addy’s magical bag. Inside the bag, write down the numbers of snacks (3 carrots + 5 acorns) and then solve the addition together with your classmates!
After you've completed your drawings, we'll come together and discuss:
With all of your ideas and creativity, let’s help Queen Addy make her party the best one ever! Are you excited to start? Let's dive into our magical world of addition and make learning fun!
End the lesson starter with a motivational note, encouraging the students to embrace challenges and have fun with math as they always explore the wonders of learning!
Feel free to adjust the story details to suit your class’s interests and engage them even further! Happy adventuring!
