In this lesson, children join Dino on a fun ice cream adventure while learning basic addition skills. Through engaging examples, they practice adding different quantities of ice creams together, reinforcing their understanding of addition in a playful context. The lesson encourages continued learning and exploration through interactive platforms.
  1. How many ice creams did Dino have at the beginning?
  2. If we add two ice creams and one ice cream, how many do we have together?
  3. What do you think Dino should do with all his ice cream? Eat it or save some for later?

Addition Fun with Dino and Ice Cream!

Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun with Dino and learn about adding numbers? Let’s go on a sweet adventure with ice cream!

Ice Cream Adventure Begins!

Dino was feeling a bit sleepy, but then he got excited because it was time for ice cream! Yum! Dino got two big ice creams. Can you imagine how yummy they are?

Let’s Start Adding!

Now, let’s help Dino with some addition. Look, there are two ice creams up here and one down there. Can you count them all together? Let’s see… one, two, three! Great job! Two plus one equals three. We did our first addition!

More Ice Creams to Add!

Let’s try another one. There is one ice cream up here and three down there. Can you add them up? Count with me… one, two, three, four! Awesome! One plus three equals four. You’re doing great!

Keep Adding!

Now, let’s add two ice creams up here to two ice creams down there. Count them all… one, two, three, four! Fantastic! Two plus two equals four. You’re a star at this!

Even More Ice Creams!

Let’s add four ice creams up here to one ice cream down there. Count with me… one, two, three, four, five! Wow! Four plus one equals five. You’re amazing!

Last Ice Cream Challenge!

Here’s the last one. Add three ice creams up here to two ice creams down there. Count them all… one, two, three, four, five! Excellent! Three plus two equals five. You did it!

What Will Dino Do?

Now, Dino has so much ice cream! Do you think he should eat it all at once? Maybe he should save some for later. What do you think?

Keep Learning and Having Fun!

If you want to keep learning and having fun, you can try the Smile and Learn platform. It has lots of games, videos, and stories just for you. Have fun exploring!

  • What is your favorite ice cream flavor, and how many scoops would you like to have? Can you add them up like Dino did?
  • Imagine you have some ice cream to share with a friend. How would you decide how many scoops each of you gets? Can you think of a way to make it fair?
  • Have you ever had to save something for later, like Dino might with his ice cream? What did you save, and why did you decide to save it?
  1. Ice Cream Addition Hunt: At home or in the classroom, gather small objects like blocks or toy ice creams. Ask the children to create their own addition problems by grouping different numbers of objects together. For example, “Can you find two blocks and add them to three more blocks? How many do you have now?” Encourage them to count out loud and share their results with a friend.

  2. Draw and Add: Provide paper and crayons for the children to draw their own ice cream cones. Ask them to draw a certain number of scoops on one cone and a different number on another. Then, have them add the scoops together and write the total number. For example, “Draw two scoops on one cone and three on another. How many scoops do you have in total?” This helps them visualize addition in a fun way.

  3. Story Time with Dino: Create a short story where Dino goes on another adventure, perhaps to a park or a zoo. Ask the children to help Dino by solving addition problems along the way. For instance, “Dino sees two birds in a tree and three more fly over. How many birds does Dino see now?” Encourage the children to come up with their own scenarios and addition problems for Dino.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music]
Hey Dino, you fell asleep again! I see you’re not doing much. Are you bored? Let’s go get some ice cream!
[Music]
Whoa, Dino! You got yourself two huge ice creams! It’ll take you a while to eat them both. Wow, you were really hungry, weren’t you? Now that we’re full, we can practice addition. What do you say? Come on, let’s add!
How many ice creams are there up here? We have one and two, and down there we have one. Go ahead, you do the adding. I’ll give you a few seconds.
[Music]
You got it! Let me try. All ice creams together would be one, two, three. There are three ice creams. Two plus one equals three. We just did our first addition! The result of adding two plus one is equal to three.
[Music]
Well done, Dino! Let’s try another one. There’s one ice cream up here and three down there. Why don’t you add them up? Take your time.
You got it! If we add these ice creams together, we’ll have in total one, two, three, and four. Four! We have four ice creams in total. One plus three equals four.
Shall we carry on? Now you’ll have to add these two ice creams up here to those two ice creams down there. I’ll give you a few seconds to add them up.
How did that go? You got it! The result of adding up two plus two is one, two, three, and four. Four! There are four ice creams. Two plus two equals four.
Let’s try another one! You’ll have to add these four ice creams up here to the one ice cream down there. Let’s go for it!
You got it! The result of adding up four plus one is one, two, three, four, and five. Five! There are five ice creams. Four plus one equals five.
Shall we try the last one? We have to add these three ice creams up here to those two ice creams down there. Let’s go for it!
That’s it! The result of adding up three plus two is one, two, three, four, and five. Five! There are five ice creams. Three plus two equals five.
And what are you going to do with all this ice cream, Dino? Are you going to eat it? You’re going to feel sick, Dino! Wouldn’t it be best if you saved some for later? My, my, Dino, you’re never full!
