Fun with Making 10's: A Creative Beginning to Our Math Lesson

🌟 Welcome to Math Magic! 🌟

Hello, Superstars! Today, we’re going to dive into the wonderful world of numbers and learn how to Make 10’s! But before we get started, I have a fun little adventure to share with you.

🎈 The Great Balloon Party 🎈

Imagine you are invited to a magical balloon party! Balloons come in all colors and shapes, and they love to group together to feel special. Here’s the catch: the magical rules of the party state that every group of balloons must have exactly 10 balloons!

🎉 Let's Meet Our Balloon Friends! 🎉

I have some balloon friend illustrations that will help us today. Picture a colorful mix of red, blue, green, and yellow balloons.

Example Balloon Group:

Now, if we put them together, how many balloons do we have in total?

💡 Quick Question! 💡

  1. Count the total number of balloons.
  2. What do you notice?

If we add the red and blue balloons, how can we split them into groups of 10?

🎈 Let’s Play with Numbers! 🎈

Here’s your mission:

  1. Grab your crayons and paper!
  2. Draw your own set of balloons grouping them to make 10.
  3. Use different colors and numbers to create your perfect balloon party!

🎊 Sharing Time! 🎊

Once you’re done, we’ll gather around and share our balloon groups. This will help us understand how different numbers can come together to Make 10!

So, are you ready to start your math adventure with the Great Balloon Party? Let’s blow up some fun and learn how to make 10’s together! 🎈✨


By tying in play and imagination with numbers, students will feel excited to engage with the lessons on making 10's, leading to an enriching and interactive learning experience!
