Hello, young explorer! Today, we're going on an adventure to learn all about numbers. Numbers are amazing because they help us count everything around us, from the toys in your room to the stars in the sky.
Counting is the first step. When you count, you're just saying how many of something there are. One, two, three, four... Let's try it together!
How many apples can you count below?
Great job! See? Counting is easy and fun. You use numbers every single day without even thinking about it.
Now that you're a counting pro, get ready for a surprise challenge that will pop up soon!
Addition is all about putting things together. When you add, you're finding the total number of items in two or more groups.
For example, if you have 2 red cars and 3 blue cars, you have 5 cars in total. 2 + 3 = 5!
(A fun addition game will be here soon!)
Subtraction is the opposite of addition. It means taking things away.
Imagine you have 5 cookies and you eat 2 of them. You have 3 cookies left. 5 - 2 = 3!
(A cool subtraction game is coming soon!)
