Today, we are gonna learn how to add two numbers to equal up to 10.
Adding means when you take two numbers and put them together and count how many you have all together.
Today, for this activity, we are going to use this tree that we painted.
And as you can see, there are one, two, three, four, five branches on one side, One, two, three, four, five branches on the other side.
And they each have a Velcro square on there.
The other thing we will be using is, I have leaves that I picked from my backyard.
I have five red ones and I have five yellow ones, two different colors.
The last piece that we're using is a modified die, and if you can see it is just a cube with dots from zero to five.
We're gonna start playing our math game.
And today I have two of my favorite people with me.
I have here today.
- Hi, it's me, Ava Luna.
- And I have?
- Renee.
- Renee, so Ava Luna and Renee are going to play this math game.
So they have red leaves in front of them and yellow leaves.
We're gonna show that you that in a minute and we're gonna start.
So we're gonna play an addition game, which means plus we're gonna roll the die, we're gonna take turns, okay?
So here we have our math tree and our leaves.
So, the first thing we're gonna do is Renee's gonna roll the die.
Go roll it and count.
- Two!
- Oh, it's Renee's turn, count how many?
- One, two.
- One, two.
So you're gonna put it on this side, one, two.
Great, all right, Ava Luna, your turn!
Roll the die.
Count how many.
- One, two, three, four, five.
- Five, all right, put 'em on your side.
- Okay, I'll put it.
- One, go ahead, count.
- One, two, three, four, five.
- Great, now, Renee, can you count how many leaves are all together?
Go ahead, Renee.
- There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
- Seven total, right?
So two plus five equals, how many all together?
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
- Seven, so two plus five equals seven.
Great, so can we take the leaves off and play again?
- [Girls] Yeah!
- All right, so Renee, go ahead and roll the die.
Let's see what you get.
What number is that?
- Zero.
- Zero, so do you put any leaves on?
All right, let's see, Ava Luna, What number is that?
- One, one, two, three, four, five.
- Great, let's put on five.
Two.
- One, two, three, four, and five.
- So Renee, you rolled zero.
Ava Luna rolled five.
How many leaves do we have on our board?
- Five.
- Five, great, so zero plus five equals five, awesome.
All right, clear the board.
Go ahead, take them off.
Great job, all right, Ava Luna, you roll first.
What did you roll?
- Nothing.
- What number is nothing?
- Zero.
- Zero.
- All right, Renee, your turn.
Okay, how do you know?
Can you point to each one?
- One, two, three.
- Beautiful.
One, two, three.
Can you point to each one and count them?
- Mm, okay.
One, two, three!
- So three plus zero, Ava Luna, is how many all together?
We have three plus zero equals how many?
Count how many total we have there, - One, two, three.
- Great, all right, we're gonna play two more rounds and then we're gonna stop.
What number is that?
- It's one, two, three, four.
- Okay, so let's put on that number of leaves.
- Wait a second, okay.
One, two, three, four.
Going to add to this side.
- It's gotta go on this side.
