Hi, I'm Bran Hicks with TeachTastic Publishing, where we work hard to scaffold and differentiate lessons for all different types of math intervention.

In this particular intervention we're going to be tackling addition to five with concrete models and matching to addition sentences.

Discuss

In the discussion portion of this lesson, we’re going to display two blue cubes with one green cube connected. We are also going to display three orange cubes connected, placed just below them.

Ask the students

• What do you see?

• What do you notice?

• Does anyone think they can make up an addition sentence that explains this model?

As you move along with the questions, there are some things to listen for and notice. Are you hearing the kids making the connections between what they see? “I see two blue cubes” and “I see one green cube” might be common things they say.

Are they able to form addition sentences or articulate that two and one is three?
