Activities

1. Activity 1: Park Counting

   Take a virtual walk through a park or imagine being in a park. Count the number of different objects you see, such as trees, benches, or flowers. Write down the numbers and practice counting them aloud.

2. Activity 2: Park Addition

   Imagine you are at a park and you see 3 children on the swings and 2 children on the slides. How many children are there in total? Draw the objects to represent the children and use the drawings to solve the addition problem. Write down the answer.

3. Activity 3: Park Subtraction

   Imagine there are 5 birds in the park, and then 2 birds fly away. How many birds are left in the park? Draw the birds and cross out the ones that flew away. Count the remaining birds and write down the answer.
