A simple and engaging guide to help 6-year-olds grasp the concept of numbers through counting and basic operations.
Hi there! Today we're going to learn all about numbers. Numbers are everywhere, and they help us count, add, subtract, and even tell time! Let’s explore numbers step by step.
A number is a way to show how many things there are. For example, if you have 3 apples, the number '3' tells us you have three apples!
Let's practice counting together! Start from 1 and go up to 10. You can use your fingers to help you:
Great job! You just counted to ten!
Adding is when you put numbers together. For example, if you have 2 candies and your friend gives you 1 more, how many candies do you have now? Let’s add them:
2 (your candies) + 1 (friend's candy) = 3 candies!
Subtracting is when you take away numbers. If you have 5 cookies and you eat 2, how many cookies do you have left?
5 (cookies) - 2 (eaten) = 3 cookies left!
Now that you know about counting, adding, and subtracting, you can play games! You can count your toys, add snacks, or even subtract your cookies when you share with friends!
Numbers are an important part of everything we do. Keep practicing, and you will become a number expert!
