In this lesson, kindergarten students learn basic addition through engaging examples featuring animals. By counting various groups of animals and adding them together, children practice their addition skills in a fun and interactive way, reinforcing their understanding of numbers and basic math concepts. The lesson encourages continued practice to enhance their proficiency in addition.

  2. If we add more animals, how do we find out how many there are now?
  3. Can you think of another way to add numbers using animals?

Kindergarten Addition with Animals

Welcome to our fun animal adventure! Today, we are going to learn how to add numbers with the help of some cute animals. Let’s get started!

Birds on a Tree

Look! There are three little birds sitting on a tree. Then, two more birds come to join them. How many birds are there now?

We start with three birds and add two more. Let’s count: four, five. There are five birds on the tree!

Frogs on Lily Pads

There are four frogs sitting on lily pads. Then, three more frogs hop in. How many frogs are there altogether?

We begin with four frogs and add three more. Let’s count: five, six, seven. There are seven frogs in total!

Rabbits in the Barn

Six rabbits are munching on carrots in a barn. Then, two more rabbits join them. How many rabbits are there now?

Starting with six and adding two gives us eight rabbits!

Kittens Playing

Five kittens are playing with yarn. Then, one more kitten joins them. How many kittens are there altogether?

We start with five and add one more. There are six kittens playing!

Butterflies Over Flowers

Two butterflies are fluttering over the flowers. Then, two more butterflies join them. How many butterflies are there now?

Adding two and two gives us four butterflies!

Ants Marching

Four ants are marching toward the anthill. Then, one more ant follows them. How many ants are marching now?

Adding four and one makes it five ants!

Ducks in the Pond

Three ducks are waddling in the pond. Then, three more ducks fly in to join them. How many ducks are there in the pond?

Adding three and three gives us six ducks!

Mice Enjoying Cheese

Seven little mice are enjoying their cheesy feast. Then, two more mice join them. How many mice are there altogether?

We start with seven and add two more. There are nine mice enjoying cheese!

Penguins on the Iceberg

Five penguins are on the iceberg. Then, five more penguins join them. How many penguins are there now?

Five plus five is ten penguins!

Puppies Playing

Six puppies are playing in the backyard. Then, one more puppy joins them. How many puppies are there altogether?

Starting with six and adding one gives us seven puppies!

Great job! You have learned how to add with the help of animals. Keep practicing, and you’ll become an addition expert. Thanks for joining our adventure!

  • Can you think of a time when you saw animals playing or gathering together? How many animals did you see, and can you try adding them up like we did in the lesson?
  • If you could choose any animals to help you learn math, which ones would you pick and why? How would they help you with addition?
  • Imagine you are in a park and you see different groups of animals. How would you use what you learned today to count them all together? What animals might you see?
  1. Animal Addition Hunt: Go on a mini adventure in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for different animals or insects, like birds, ants, or butterflies. Count how many you see and then imagine a few more joining them. How many would there be in total? Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can solve your animal addition problem!

  2. Animal Number Cards: Create your own set of animal number cards using paper and crayons. Draw different animals on each card and write a number on them. Shuffle the cards and pick two at a time. Add the numbers together and draw the total number of animals on a separate sheet of paper. Can you create a story about your animal friends using the numbers you added?

  3. Story Time with Stuffed Animals: Gather your stuffed animals and create a story where they all come together. Start with a few animals and then add more as the story goes on. Count how many animals are in your story at each step. Can you make up a fun adventure for them? Share your story with your family and see if they can help you add more animals to the adventure!

Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour! In this video, join us on an animal edition adventure where we turn numbers into a thrilling quiz with your favorite animals. Hop on and enjoy the ride!

Here’s our first question: There are three little birds on a tree. Two more birds join them. How many birds are there on the tree?

We start with three birds and add two more. Counting four and five, that gives us a total of five birds.

Next, there are four frogs on the lily pads, and then three more frogs hop in. How many frogs are there in total?

We begin with four frogs and add three more. Counting five, six, and seven, the total is seven frogs.

Now, there are six rabbits munching on carrots in a barn, and then two more join them. How many rabbits are there in total?

Starting with six and adding two gives us a total of eight rabbits.

There are five kittens playing with yarn, and one more joins them. How many kittens are there altogether?

Beginning with five and adding one gives us a total of six kittens.

Next, there are two butterflies fluttering over the flowers, and then two more butterflies join them. How many butterflies are there in total?

Adding two and two gives us a total of four butterflies.

There are four ants marching toward the anthill, and then one more follows. How many ants are marching toward the anthill?

Adding four and one makes it five ants.

Now, there are three ducks waddling in the pond, and three more fly to join them. How many ducks are there in the pond?

Adding three and three gives us a total of six ducks.

Seven little mice are enjoying their cheesy feast, and soon two more join them. How many mice are there altogether?

We start with seven and add two more, which makes it nine mice.

There are five penguins on the iceberg, and five more penguins join them. How many penguins are there on the iceberg?

Five plus five is ten penguins.

And now for our final question: There are six puppies playing in the backyard, and then one more joins them. How many puppies are there altogether?

Starting with six and adding one gives us seven puppies.
