LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Display pictures of objects such as apples, balloons, or flowers.
- Ask students how many objects they see in each picture.
- Use the concept of addition to add the objects in each picture, and write the equation on the board.
INSTRUCTION
- Review the concept of addition by using fingers to represent numbers up to 5.
- Demonstrate how to draw addition models up to 5 using pictures and equations.
- Model drawing addition models up to 10 using pictures and equations.
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Divide the students into small groups and provide each group with pictures of objects and unifix cubes.
- Instruct the students to work together to create addition models up to 5 and up to 10 using pictures and equations.
- Circulate around the room to provide support and guidance as needed.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Instruct students to work independently to create their own addition models up to 10 using pictures and equations.
- Provide students with paper and pencils to draw their models.
- Monitor students' progress and provide support as needed.
HOMEWORK
- Assign students to create addition models up to 10 using pictures and equations at home with their families.
EXIT TICKET
- Provide each student with a whiteboard and marker or exit card sheet.
- Instruct students to draw an addition model up to 10 using pictures and write the corresponding equation.
ASSESSMENT
- Ask students to share their addition models and equations with the class.
- Review the models and equations to determine students' mastery of the concept.
CLOSURE
- Ask students to share one thing they learned about addition models today, and write their responses on the board.
- Review the importance of being able to represent addition in different ways by asking students why it is important to be able to do so.
- Highlight how different people may use different methods to solve addition problems, and how being able to represent addition in different ways helps us to communicate our understanding with others.
- Encourage students to continue practicing drawing addition models and using different methods to represent addition, so that they can build a strong foundation for their future math learning.
EXTENSION
- Students can draw addition models up to 20 or higher.
- Students can use different materials such as counters or beads to represent addition models.
- Students can work on subtraction models using the same concept.
INTERVENTION
- Provide manipulatives such as larger and easier to grasp cubes or objects for students who struggle with fine motor skills.
- Provide additional visual aids or diagrams to help students who need extra support in understanding the concept of addition.
VIDEOS
No Video Available
TEACHING TIPS
- Use a variety of visual aids and manipulatives to help students understand addition.
- Encourage students to explain their thinking and reasoning when solving addition problems.
- Provide opportunities for students to work collaboratively and share their strategies with each other.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Counting fingers or objects may not be accurate or efficient for larger numbers.
- Students may struggle to connect addition models with written equations.
- Some students may not fully understand the concept of addition and may need additional support to build a strong foundation.
STANDARD
Common Core Standard:
K.OA.A.1 Part 1 - Represent addition with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
