ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Addition for kids – Learning to add with Dinosaurs – Mathematics for kids
Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with Dino the dinosaur? Today, we’re going to learn how to add numbers together using Dino’s eggs. Let’s get started!
Addition is like putting things together. Imagine you have some toys, and you get more toys. You count them all to see how many you have now. That’s addition!
Dino has some eggs to look after. Let’s help Dino count them!
Look, Dino has one egg up here and two eggs down there. Let’s count them together: one, two, three! So, 1 + 2 equals 3. Great job, Dino!
Uh-oh, Dino has more eggs now! There are two eggs up here and three eggs down there. Let’s add them: one, two, three, four, five! So, 2 + 3 equals 5. You’re doing awesome, Dino!
Wow, more eggs are coming! Dino has five eggs up here and three eggs down there. Let’s count them all: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! So, 5 + 3 equals 8. Fantastic, Dino!
Let’s remember what we learned today:
Dino did a great job learning how to add. Now you can try adding things too!

See you next time, little mathematician!
Egg Hunt Addition: Go on a pretend egg hunt around your home or classroom. Use small objects like balls or blocks as “eggs.” Hide some in one area and some in another. Count how many “eggs” you find in each spot, then add them together to see how many you have in total. Can you find different ways to make the same total number of “eggs”?
Dino’s Egg Drawing: Draw a picture of Dino the dinosaur with some eggs. In one part of the picture, draw a certain number of eggs, and in another part, draw more eggs. Write down the addition sentence that matches your drawing (e.g., 3 + 2 = 5). Share your drawing with a friend and see if they can count and add the eggs too!
Everyday Addition: Look around your home or classroom for things you can add together, like pencils, books, or toys. Choose two groups of items and count how many are in each group. Add them together to find the total. Try to find at least three different sets of items to add. What did you notice about the numbers when you added them?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hey Dino, what’s the matter? I see you’re worried. Do you know what all these crosses are for?
You don’t? That’s the plus sign for addition. Do you know how to add? Don’t worry, Dino, I’ll teach you how!
Hey Dino, wake up! You have to look after all these eggs. Do you know how many there are? Let’s add them up! Adding up means putting together or grouping together several things.
Today we’re going to add up Dino’s eggs. Are you up for it? Let’s see how many eggs there are.
Up here we have one and two, and down there we have one. So all together they sum one, two, and three.
There are three eggs! Two plus one equals three. We have completed our first addition. Adding up two plus one gives you three. This has been your first addition, Dino. Are you happy?
Wow, it looks like you have more eggs to look after. Do you know how many eggs are there now? Shall we add them up?
Up here there are one and two eggs, and down there we have one, two, and three eggs. We have to add two plus three.
So all the eggs together would sum up one, two, three, four, and five. We have five eggs! Two plus three equals five. The result of adding up two plus three is five. Well done, Dino! Do you like adding up?
Whoa, more eggs are falling down! Let’s add them up to find out how many eggs in total you’ll have to look after.
Okay, up here there are one, two, three, four, and five eggs, and down there we have one, two, and three eggs. We have to add five plus three.
So the result is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. We have eight eggs! Five plus three equals eight. Well done, Dino! Today you need to look after eight dinosaur eggs. Now you know how to add up!
You’ve fallen asleep again, Dino. Wake up! Everyone’s gone. You’re not much of a dinosaur egg guardian, are you?
Well, it’s okay, Dino. Today we’ve learned how to add. Do you want to recap? We could also do horizontal additions; it’s done in the same way. Pay attention!
Two plus one equals one, two, and three. Two plus one equals three. Very well!
Let’s do the next one: two plus three equals one, two, three, four, and five. Two plus three equals five. Way to go!
Let’s do another one: five plus three equals one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. Five plus three equals eight. So good!
I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about Dino; he’s had a hard day, so we’ll just let him sleep a bit more. See you around, everyone!
