• Pen and paper

Before starting the lesson, make sure you are familiar with the Singing Monsters game or app.

Activities

1. Counting Monsters: Open the Singing Monsters game and count how many monsters are on the screen. Write down the number on a piece of paper.
2. Addition Song: Sing a song about addition using the monsters in the game. For example, "1 monster plus 1 monster equals 2 monsters!" Repeat this for different numbers.
3. Subtraction Challenge: Choose two monsters in the game and subtract one from the other. Write down the equation and solve it.
4. Monster Patterns: Look at the monsters in the game and identify a pattern (e.g., red, blue, red, blue). Create your own pattern using different colors or shapes.
5. Monster Measurements: Use your pen and paper to measure the height of different monsters in the game. Write down the measurements and compare them.

Kindergarten Grade Talking Points

• "Mathematics is all about numbers and counting. Today, we will practice counting and basic arithmetic with Singing Monsters."
• "Counting is important because it helps us understand how many things there are. Let's count the monsters in the game together."
• "Addition means putting numbers together. We can add the monsters in the game by singing a fun song."
• "Subtraction means taking away. We will choose two monsters in the game and subtract one from the other."
• "Patterns are sequences that repeat. We will look for patterns in the colors or shapes of the monsters and create our own."
