LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Review with students what addition means and how to use the plus sign (+) to represent it.
- Introduce the concept of using 9's domino visuals to add numbers.
- Show students the 9's domino visuals and explain how they work.
- Model an example of adding two numbers using the domino visuals.
INSTRUCTION
- Demonstrate to students how to use the commutative property strategy to add two numbers.
- Write an example problem on the board and show how to use the commutative property to solve it.
- Practice this strategy with a few more problems.
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Distribute the 9's domino visuals and number cards to each student.
- Write a few addition problems on the board for students to solve using the domino visuals and the commutative property strategy.
- Work through the problems together as a class.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Distribute the worksheet to each student to complete independently.
- Encourage students to use the domino visuals and the commutative property strategy to solve the problems.
- Circulate around the room to provide support and guidance as needed.
HOMEWORK
- Distribute the optional homework sheet to each student.
- Instruct students to find objects around their home and use the domino visuals and commutative property strategy to add them together.
- Remind students to bring their homework back to class to share with their classmates.
EXIT TICKET
- Provide each student with a whiteboard and marker.
- Instruct students to write an addition problem and solve it using the domino visuals and commutative property strategy.
ASSESSMENT
- Ask students to share one addition problem they solved using the domino visuals and commutative property strategy.
- Use their responses to assess their understanding of the lesson objectives.
CLOSURE
- Review with students what they learned about adding sums to 18 using 9's domino visuals and the commutative property strategy.
- Encourage students to practice using these strategies to add numbers at home.
EXTENSION
- Students can practice adding larger numbers using the domino visuals and commutative property strategy.
- Students can practice subtracting numbers using the same visuals and strategy.
INTERVENTION
- For students who struggle with fine motor skills, larger and easier to grasp domino visuals can be used.
- For students who need extra support, a visual aid or diagram can be provided to help them understand the concept of adding numbers using the domino
- visuals and commutative property strategy.
- For students who need additional practice, they can work on more problems with smaller numbers before moving on to larger ones.

TEACHING TIPS
- Use hands-on activities and manipulatives to make math more engaging and accessible for young learners.
- Model problem-solving strategies and encourage students to ask questions and share their thinking.
- Scaffold instruction and provide differentiated support to help students who may be struggling with the material.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Confusing the plus and minus signs, leading to errors in addition and subtraction.
- Struggling to understand the concept of regrouping, particularly when adding larger numbers.
- Difficulty with memorizing basic addition facts, which can impact their ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
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.
