LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Show students a word problem flashcard and read it aloud to the class.
- Ask students what they think the problem is asking and what information they need to solve it.
- Model how to identify key information by circling or underlining it on the flashcard.
- Ask students to help you write an addition sentence that matches the problem on the whiteboard.
INSTRUCTION
- Provide students with a set of word problem flashcards.
- Model how to read and comprehend each problem and how to identify key information.
- Model how to use manipulatives to solve the problem and how to write an addition sentence that matches the problem.
- Provide students with additional examples of word problems and guide them through the process of solving and writing addition sentences.
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Work with students in small groups to solve and write addition sentences for word problems using manipulatives.
- Provide feedback and support as needed.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Provide students with an addition worksheet containing word problems for them to solve and write addition sentences.
