LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Review with students the concept of addition and how to use ten frames to solve addition problems to 10.
- Introduce the commutative property of addition by explaining that it means you can change the order of the addends without changing the sum.
- Give an example of the commutative property of addition, such as 3 + 2 = 2 + 3.
INSTRUCTION
- Demonstrate how to use ten frames and connecting cubes to solve addition problems to 10, and how to write number sentences to represent the problems.
- Model an example problem, such as 4 + 2 = ?, using the ten frames and connecting cubes.
- Write the number sentence for the problem on the whiteboard: "4 + 2 = 6."
- Emphasize the commutative property of addition by switching the order of the addends and showing that the sum is the same: "2 + 4 = 6."
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Provide students with addition problem cards and have them use ten frames and connecting cubes to solve the problems.
- Write the number sentences for each problem on the whiteboard as students complete them.
- Encourage students to switch the order of the addends and show that the sum is the same.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Give students a worksheet containing addition problems to 10.
- Instruct students to use ten frames and connecting cubes to solve the problems and write number sentences to represent them.
- Circulate around the room to provide support and guidance as needed.
HOMEWORK
- Provide a worksheet for homework that reinforces the concept of the commutative property of addition. This can be a mix of addition problems with and without ten frames.
- Encourage students to use the counters to help them solve the problems, and to check their work using the commutative property of addition.
EXIT TICKET
- Provide each student with a whiteboard and marker.
- Instruct students to write an addition problem and switch the order of the addends to show the commutative property of addition.
- Observe students' responses to assess their understanding of the commutative property of addition and their ability to write number sentences to represent addition problems.
ASSESSMENT
- Ask students to share an addition problem they solved and how they solved it, emphasizing the commutative property of addition.
- Use their responses to assess their understanding of the commutative property of addition and their ability to write number sentences to represent addition problems.
CLOSURE
- Review with students what they learned about the commutative property of addition and how to use ten frames to solve addition problems to 10.
- Encourage students to practice using the commutative property of addition and ten frames to solve addition problems on their own.
EXTENSION
- Students can practice solving addition problems with larger numbers on a ten frame.
- Students can create their own addition problems and solve them using the ten frame and counters or the commutative property of addition.
INTERVENTION
- For students who struggle with fine motor skills, larger and easier to grasp counters can be used.
- For students who need extra support, a visual aid or diagram can be provided to help them understand the concept of the commutative properties of addition. Additionally, they can work in a small group with a teacher or teaching assistant for more individualized support.

TEACHING TIPS
- Use concrete examples and manipulatives to help students understand the commutative properties of addition.
- Provide opportunities for students to practice using the ten frame and counters to solve addition problems.
- Encourage students to explain their thought processes when solving problems, to promote deeper understanding.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Addition is always done in a certain order, rather than recognizing that addition can be done in any order.
- Using a ten frame is only helpful for small numbers, rather than recognizing that it can be used to represent larger numbers as well.
- Not realizing that the commutative property of addition can be applied to all addition problems, not just specific ones.
STANDARD
Common Core Standard:
1.OA.C.6 - Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten; decomposing a number leading to a ten; using the relationship between addition and subtraction.
