In the lesson “Addition Fun with Dino and Eggs,” students learn the concept of addition through engaging activities involving counting Dino’s eggs and ice creams. By adding different quantities together, they discover how to find the total number of items, reinforcing the idea that addition is about combining groups to see how many there are altogether. The lesson encourages continued practice with everyday objects to make learning fun and interactive.
  1. How many eggs did we count together with Dino?
  2. What happens when we add one ice cream to two ice creams?
  3. Can you think of something else we can add together, like toys or snacks?

Addition Fun with Dino and Eggs!

Welcome to a fun adventure with Dino! Today, we’re going to learn how to add numbers using Dino’s eggs. Are you ready to help Dino count?

What is Addition?

Addition is like putting things together. When we add, we find out how many things we have in total. Let’s start with Dino’s eggs!

Counting Dino’s Eggs

Look, Dino has some eggs! Let’s count them together:

First Addition

Up here, we have one and two eggs. Down there, there’s one more egg. Let’s add them:

1, 2, and 3! There are three eggs in total. Two plus one equals three. Great job!

More Eggs to Count

Wow, Dino has more eggs! Let’s add them up:

Up here, there are one and two eggs. Down there, there are one, two, and three eggs. Let’s add:

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! We have five eggs now. Two plus three equals five. Well done!

Even More Eggs!

More eggs are falling! Let’s count them all:

Up here, there are one, two, three, four, and five eggs. Down there, there are one, two, and three eggs. Let’s add:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8! We have eight eggs. Five plus three equals eight. Awesome!

Adding with Ice Creams

Now, let’s practice addition with ice creams! Yum!

First Ice Cream Addition

We have one and two ice creams up here, and one down there. Let’s add:

1, 2, and 3! There are three ice creams. Two plus one equals three. Great job!

More Ice Creams

Let’s add one ice cream up here and three down there:

1, 2, 3, and 4! We have four ice creams. One plus three equals four. Well done!

Even More Ice Creams

Now, add two ice creams up here to two down there:

1, 2, 3, and 4! There are four ice creams. Two plus two equals four. Awesome!

Last Ice Cream Addition

Let’s add four ice creams up here to one down there:

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! There are five ice creams. Four plus one equals five. Great job!

Keep Learning and Having Fun!

Dino had a fun day learning to add! You can keep practicing addition with your toys or snacks. Remember, adding is just putting things together to see how many you have. Keep having fun with numbers!

  • Can you think of a time when you had to add things together, like toys or snacks? How did you do it, and what did you find out?
  • If you were helping Dino count his eggs, what other things would you like to count with him? Why do you think counting is important?
  • Imagine you have a magic basket that can hold anything. What would you like to add together in your basket, and how many would you have in total?
  1. Egg Hunt Addition: Go on a pretend egg hunt around your home or classroom. Use small objects like buttons or blocks as “eggs.” Gather them in groups and practice adding them together. For example, find 2 “eggs” in one spot and 3 in another, then add them to see how many you have in total. Can you find different combinations that add up to the same number?

  2. Ice Cream Shop Game: Set up a pretend ice cream shop using playdough or paper cutouts for ice cream scoops. Practice adding scoops to cones. For example, start with 1 scoop and add 2 more. How many scoops do you have now? Try different combinations and see how many scoops you can add to your cone!

  3. Number Story Time: Create a story with your friends or family about Dino and his eggs. Each person can add a part to the story by adding more eggs or ice creams. For example, “Dino found 2 eggs in the morning and 3 more in the afternoon. How many eggs does Dino have now?” Share your story and see how many different ways you can add numbers together!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary repetition and maintaining clarity:

Welcome to Smile and Learn!
Hey Dino, what’s the matter? I see you’re worried. Do you know what all these crosses are for?
That’s the plus sign for addition. Do you know how to add? Don’t worry, Dino, I’ll teach you!

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 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. Are you happy?

Wow, it looks like you have more eggs to look after. Do you know how many eggs there are 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 to one, two, three, four, and five.
We have five eggs! Two plus three equals 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.
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!
[Music]

Hey Dino, you fell asleep again! My, my, I see you’re not doing much. Are you bored? Let’s go get some ice cream!
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 additions. 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.

You got it! Let me try. All ice creams together would be one, two, and three.
There are three ice creams! Two plus one equals three. We just did our first addition.

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 one, two, three, and 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.
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.
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.
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 it for later?
My, my, Dino, you’re never full!
