Hello, young mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on a magical journey in the world of addition! Are you ready to become addition experts? Let’s dive into a fun and exciting story that will help us understand how to add numbers together!
Once upon a time, in a colorful garden filled with friendly fruits, there lived a magical pineapple named Penny. Penny loved to throw parties for her fruit friends! One sunny day, Penny decided to invite some of her friends over for a party.
To find out how many fruit friends were coming to her party, Penny made a list:
Let's help Penny figure out how many fruit friends are coming to her party in total!
To find out how many friends are coming, we can add the apples and bananas together:
Grab some Fun Counters: You can use blocks, buttons, or even small toys. Count out 2 blocks for the apples and 3 blocks for the bananas.
Combine the Blocks: Put all the blocks together. How many blocks do you have now?
Count Together: Let's count them out loud!
Great job, everyone! When we count all the blocks together, we find that Penny will have 5 fruit friends at her party!
Now, it’s your turn to continue this adventure!
Can you think of other things that can come to the party? What if we invite:
How many fruit friends do we have now? Let’s keep adding and having fun!
Today, we learned about addition through the story of Penny the Pineapple and her friends. Remember, addition is all about bringing things together! Can’t wait to see what other magical math adventures we’ll have together!
Make a joyful noise with your friends and shout out the addition equations you discovered today! Math can be fun and exciting, just like Penny’s party!
