Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand and apply basic math concepts through fun activities related to Lanky.

Materials and Prep

• Paper and pencil
• Colorful markers or crayons
• Lanky toys or pictures for inspiration
• No prior knowledge needed, just bring your enthusiasm!

Activities

• Lanky Counting: Count how many Lanky toys you have. Write the numbers down and draw that many Lankys!
• Lanky Addition: Use Lanky toys to practice addition. For example, if you have 2 Lankys and get 3 more, how many do you have in total?
• Lanky Subtraction: Play a game where you start with a certain number of Lankys and then "take away" some. How many are left?
• Lanky Patterns: Create a pattern using different colors for Lanky's stripes. Can you continue the pattern?

Talking Points

• "Let's count together how many Lanky toys we have. 1, 2, 3... Great job!"
• "Now, if we have 2 Lankys and we add 3 more, how many Lankys do we have in total? Let's figure it out together."
• "Imagine we start with 5 Lankys and we 'take away' 2. How many Lankys are left? Let's solve this subtraction problem."
• "Look at the pattern of Lanky's stripes. Can you tell me what color comes next in the pattern? Let's continue the pattern together."
