Mathematics - Term 4 - Week 7

Today, we will learn about numbers! Numbers are symbols that represent amounts. We will focus on the numbers from 1 to 10. Let's count together! One, two, three... all the way to ten. Each number has its own value, and we can use them to count objects around us.

Let's look at an example of addition. If we have 2 apples and we get 3 more apples, how many apples do we have now? We can write this as 2 + 3. To find the answer, we can count all the apples together: 1, 2 (the first two apples), 3, 4, 5 (the three new apples). So, 2 + 3 = 5. We can use our fingers or objects to help us add!

Now, let's practice adding together! I will give you some blocks. Take 4 blocks and then take 2 more blocks. How many blocks do you have in total? Count them out loud. You should have 6 blocks. This is how we can use objects to help us with addition. Let's try another one together: If you have 1 toy and I give you 4 more, how many toys do you have now?

For your independent practice, you will receive a worksheet with pictures of objects. You will need to count the objects in each group and write the number. Then, you will add the numbers from two groups together. For example, if you see 3 stars and 2 stars, you will write 3 + 2 = ___. Remember to count carefully and use your fingers if you need help!
