Good morning, Year 2 mathematicians! Today, we're going to embark on an exciting adventure into the land of numbers. Are you ready?
Imagine you are lost in a magical forest where every tree holds a secret number. But there’s a challenge! To uncover the secrets, you need to solve special number puzzles that the forest spirits have created just for you!
The Addition Apple Tree - This tree grows apples, and each apple represents a number! To find out how many apples you're picking, you need to add them together.
The Subtraction Snail - Slow and steady wins the race! This snail has a special number it wants to give you but takes some away. You need to count carefully to find out how many are left.
The Multiplying Mushroom - This magical mushroom will multiply your numbers! If you find three mushrooms, and each mushroom has four spots, how many spots do you have in total?
The Division Duck Pond - Here, you'll share the numbers you find with your friends! If you have twelve shiny pebbles and want to share them equally among three friends, how many does each friend get?
Before we dive into solving, we need a special magic spell - it’s called BIDMAS! BIDMAS helps us remember the order to solve our number puzzles.
Now that you know the magic of BIDMAS, we're going to practice using it! Decide the order you will solve your puzzles, and let’s go on a treasure hunt to discover the answers that will lead us out of the magical forest!
Are you excited? Let’s gather our magic thinking caps and start solving! Remember, every number is a clue waiting for you to uncover. Let’s make this mystery a fun adventure together!
