LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Review with students what addition means and what the plus sign (+) represents.
- Explain that we will be learning how to read a table of addition sentences.
- Show an example of an addition sentence, such as "2 + 3 = 5," and explain that it means we start with 2 and add 3 more, giving us a total of 5.
INSTRUCTION
-
Show students an addition table with a row of numbers that all add up to the same sum, such as:
1 + 4 = 5
2 + 3 = 5
4 + 1 = 5 -
Explain that all of the numbers in the row add up to the same sum (in this case, 5).
-
Model how to identify the pattern in the addition table (in this case, the numbers in each equation add to 5).
-
Model how to create additional equations that add up to the same sum, such as "3 + 2 = 5."
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Provide students with an addition table worksheet.
- Work through the table together as a class, identifying the sum and the pattern.
- Have students create additional equations that add up to the same sum.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Have students work independently on the addition table worksheet.
- Circulate around the room to provide support and guidance as needed.
HOMEWORK
- Have students find an addition table in a book or online and identify the sum and pattern.
- Encourage students to create additional equations that add up to the same sum, if possible.
EXIT TICKET
- Provide each student with a whiteboard and marker.
- Instruct students to write an addition equation that adds up to the same sum as the given equation.
ASSESSMENT
- Ask students to share one addition equation they created that adds up to the same sum as the given table.
- Use their responses to assess their understanding of reading and creating addition tables.
CLOSURE
- Review with students what they learned about reading addition tables and creating additional equations.
- Encourage students to practice identifying patterns in addition tables and creating their own equations.
EXTENSION
- Students can create their own addition tables with different sums and patterns.
- Students can solve addition problems using the patterns they identified in the tables.
INTERVENTION
- For students who struggle with addition, manipulatives such as counters or cubes can be used to represent the numbers.
- For students who need extra support, a smaller addition table with fewer equations can be used to help them focus on the concept.

TEACHING TIPS
- Use manipulatives such as counters or cubes to help students visualize addition equations.
- Encourage students to create their own addition tables with different sums and patterns.
- Provide opportunities for students to explain their thinking and problem-solving strategies.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Students may struggle with the concept of addition and what the plus sign represents.
- Students may struggle with identifying patterns in the addition tables.
- Students may not understand how to create additional equations that add up to the same sum.
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.
