Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand basic arithmetic concepts through fun Paw Patrol-themed activities.

Materials and Prep

  • Paw Patrol-themed worksheets (available online or create your own)
  • Paw Patrol toys or images
  • Pencils or crayons
  • Counting objects (e.g., blocks, buttons)

Activities

  1. Counting with Paw Patrol: Use Paw Patrol toys or images to practice counting from 1 to 10. Ask the student to count the number of Paw Patrol characters they see and encourage them to touch or move the toys/images as they count.
  2. Paw Patrol Addition: Create simple addition problems using Paw Patrol characters. For example, ask the student to add 2 Paw Patrol characters to 3 Paw Patrol characters and help them count the total. Use visuals to make it more engaging.
  3. Paw Patrol Subtraction: Similar to addition, create subtraction problems using Paw Patrol characters. For instance, ask the student to subtract 1 Paw Patrol character from 4 Paw Patrol characters and guide them through the process of removing one and counting the remaining characters.
  4. Paw Patrol Patterns: Use Paw Patrol toys or images to create simple patterns (e.g., Chase, Marshall, Chase, Marshall) and ask the student to continue the pattern. This activity helps develop their pattern recognition skills.
  5. Paw Patrol Number Tracing: Provide Paw Patrol-themed number tracing worksheets and encourage the student to practice tracing numbers 1 to 5 using pencils or crayons. This activity helps reinforce number recognition and fine motor skills.

Preschool Grade Talking Points

  • "Paw Patrol is a fun show with brave puppies who go on exciting adventures!"
  • "Today, we are going to learn about numbers and counting using Paw Patrol characters."
  • "Counting is when we say numbers in order, like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."
  • "Addition is when we put numbers together to find the total. For example, if we have 2 Paw Patrol characters and we add 3 more, we have a total of 5 Paw Patrol characters."
  • "Subtraction is when we take away or remove some numbers. If we have 4 Paw Patrol characters and we remove 1, we are left with 3 Paw Patrol characters."
  • "Patterns are when we have a sequence that repeats. Can you help me continue the Paw Patrol pattern?"
  • "Tracing numbers means following the lines to write the numbers. Let's practice tracing numbers with Paw Patrol!"
