Welcome to Addition! – Greetings little mathematicians! – Learn to add numbers together – Adding is putting two numbers together to make a new number – Using pictures to add – Pictures make it fun and easy to see addition – Sums up to 5 – We’ll practice adding numbers that total no more than 5 | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of addition in a fun and engaging way. Start by greeting the students warmly to create a welcoming learning environment. Explain that addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to get a new number. Use simple language and real-life examples that they can relate to, such as adding toys or fruits. Incorporate colorful pictures to visually represent addition problems, which will help them understand the concept better. Focus on sums that do not exceed 5 to keep the activity age-appropriate. Encourage participation and praise their efforts to build confidence. Prepare to demonstrate with actual objects or images and have interactive activities ready for the next class.

Learning to Add: Sums Up to 5 – What is addition? Addition is combining numbers to see the total. – Adding with apples If you have 2 apples and get 3 more, how many now? – Total number of apples 2 apples plus 3 apples equals 5 apples! – Practice sums up to 5 | This slide introduces the concept of addition to Pre-K students using a relatable example of apples. Start by explaining that addition is the process of finding out the total number when we put groups of things together. Use visuals of apples to demonstrate the addition of 2 apples with 3 apples to make a total of 5 apples. Encourage the students to use their fingers or counters to add up to 5. Provide additional simple examples and use interactive activities like adding other familiar objects or using pictures to solidify their understanding. The goal is to make them comfortable with the idea of combining quantities to find a new total.

Adding with Pictures: Sums Up to 5 – Pictures help us understand addition – Count objects in pictures for total – If we have 2 apples and 3 oranges in pictures, how many fruits in total? – Each picture has objects to add – Find sums that are 5 or less – Like 4 stars and 1 moon makes 5 | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of addition using visual aids. By counting objects in pictures, children can visually understand how two groups of items combine to make a larger group. Encourage the students to count aloud as they add the objects together. Use simple and relatable images such as fruits, animals, or toys that sum up to 5. This method makes abstract concepts more concrete for young learners. During the activity, walk around the classroom to ensure that each student is engaged and correctly counting the objects. Offer praise and gentle corrections as needed. Prepare to show examples with different combinations of numbers that add up to 5 or less to demonstrate the versatility of addition.

Let’s Practice Addition with Stars! – Start with 1 star on the board – Add 2 more stars to our group – Count all the stars together – Use your fingers to count: 1, 2, 3 – Discover we have 3 stars in total | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help Pre-K students practice addition using visual aids. Start by showing one star on the board, then add two more stars. Encourage the students to count aloud together as you point to each star. Reinforce the concept that addition is combining groups of objects to find out how many there are in total. After counting, help them understand that 1 star plus 2 stars equals 3 stars. Use this opportunity to introduce the plus and equals signs, and model how to write the number sentence: 1 + 2 = 3. Prepare to assist students who may need extra help with counting and offer praise as they grasp the concept.

Your Turn to Add: Picture Addition – Try adding with pictures – Count the objects shown – Write the total sum – If there are 3 apples and 2 oranges, what’s the total? – Sums will be up to 5 | This slide is an interactive activity for Pre-K students to practice addition with sums up to 5 using visual aids. Display pictures with different objects, ensuring the total does not exceed 5. Encourage the students to count aloud as they add the objects together. Provide assistance as needed and praise their efforts to build confidence. Possible variations of the activity could include using stickers, drawing objects on the board, or providing physical objects for hands-on learning. Reinforce the concept by repeating the activity with different sets of pictures and objects.

Adding Up to 5 with Pictures – Learn to add within 5 – Count objects to add – Use fingers or objects to count – Solve picture addition problems – Example: 2 apples + 3 apples = 5 apples – Practice makes perfect | This slide introduces the concept of addition up to 5 for Pre-K students using visual aids. Start by explaining that addition is simply combining two groups of items to find out how many there are in total. Use pictures to help students count and visualize the addition process. For instance, show images of apples or other familiar items and demonstrate how to count them one by one to reach a total. Encourage the students to use their fingers or classroom objects to practice adding. Provide several picture-based addition problems for them to solve, and ensure they understand that practice will help them get better at adding numbers up to 5.

Class Activity: Picture Addition – Let’s start our picture addition – Count pictures in each group – How many apples? How many bananas? – Write the sum on your worksheet – Use a pencil to write the number – All sums will be up to 5 | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students practice addition with visual aids. Provide worksheets with groups of pictures, each group containing up to 5 items. Instruct the students to count the items in each group and write the sum in the provided space. This hands-on activity will reinforce their counting skills and introduce them to the concept of addition. For the teacher: Prepare different worksheets with various pictures and ensure that each sum does not exceed 5. Walk around the classroom to assist any student who might be struggling with counting or writing their numbers. Encourage students to verbalize their counting and praise their efforts to promote a positive learning environment.

Great Job on Picture Addition! – Celebrate learning addition! – Addition combines numbers – Like 2 apples + 3 apples = 5 apples – Total tells us ‘how many’ – If you have 2 toys and get 3 more, now you have 5 toys! – Practice addition at home | This slide is a conclusion to reinforce the concept of addition using pictures for Pre-K students. It’s a celebration of what they’ve learned about adding numbers up to 5. Remind them that addition is simply combining two groups of items to find out the total amount. Use everyday examples like adding apples or toys to make it relatable. Encourage the students to continue practicing at home with their toys or with drawings to become more confident in their addition skills. The goal is to make them feel accomplished and to instill a love for learning math through positive reinforcement.
