LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Review the concept of addition and ask students to share examples of addition sentences.
- Introduce the idea of finding the missing addend in addition sentences.
- Display a sample addition sentence (e.g., 3 + ___ = 10) and ask students to identify the missing addend.
INSTRUCTION
- Explain to students that when they see an addition sentence with a missing addend, they can use a 10 frame and counters to help them find the missing addend.
- Model how to use a 10 frame and counters to solve an addition sentence with a missing addend.
- Provide additional examples and practice with the class.
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Divide the students into small groups and provide each group with a 10 frame and counters.
- Instruct the students to work together to solve addition sentences with missing addends up to 10.
- Circulate around the room to provide support and guidance as needed.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Instruct students to work independently to solve addition sentences with missing addends up to 10 using a 10 frame and counters.
- Monitor students' progress and provide support as needed.
HOMEWORK
- Provide students with a worksheet that includes addition sentences with missing addends up to 10.
- Instruct students to use a 10 frame and counters to solve the addition sentences and find the missing addend.
- Encourage students to practice solving addition sentences with missing addends at home using the same method they learned in class.
Note: Homework should be optional and not graded. It is important to provide a balance between schoolwork and home life, and to ensure that students have enough time to rest and engage in other activities.
EXIT TICKET
- Provide each student with a whiteboard and marker.
- Instruct students to write an addition sentence with a missing addend and solve it using a 10 frame and counters.
ASSESSMENT
- Formative assessments will be conducted during the lesson to monitor students' understanding of identifying and solving addition sentences with missing addends.
- The exit ticket and progress monitoring assessments will be used to determine students' mastery of finding the missing addend in addition sentences to 10.
CLOSURE
- Review the concept of finding the missing addend in addition sentences.
- Ask students to share one new thing they learned about finding the missing addend today.
- Encourage students to continue practicing finding the missing addend in addition sentences to build a strong foundation for their future math learning.
EXTENSION
- Students can practice finding the missing addend in addition sentences up to 20.
- Students can practice using different manipulatives, such as linking cubes or snap cubes, to solve addition sentences with missing addends.
INTERVENTION
- For students who struggle with counting or identifying numbers, additional practice with counting activities can be provided.
- For students who need extra support, a visual aid or diagram can be provided to help them understand the concept of finding the missing addend in addition sentences.

TEACHING TIPS
- Use concrete manipulatives, such as counters or linking cubes, to help students visualize addition and find the missing addend.
- Provide plenty of opportunities for students to practice solving addition sentences with missing addends, both in class and at home.
- Encourage students to explain their thinking and reasoning when solving addition sentences, and provide opportunities for class discussions to help reinforce their understanding.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Students may struggle with identifying the missing addend in addition sentences and may need additional practice with visual aids.
- Students may have difficulty with counting and identifying numbers, so additional practice with counting activities can be helpful.
- Some students may rely too heavily on memorization rather than understanding the concept of addition, so it is important to provide opportunities for problem-solving and critical thinking.
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.
