Cont. of the TEKS:
(B)Students extend their
use of addition and
subtraction beyond the
actions of joining and
separating to include
comparing and combining.
Students use properties of
operations and the
relationship between
addition and subtraction to
solve problems. By
comparing a variety of
solution strategies,
students use efficient,
accurate, and generalizable
methods to perform
operations.
(C)Students use basic the answer is a double digit, write the 10s value on top and the
shapes and spatial
reasoning to model objects
in their environment and
construct more complex
shapes. Students are able
to identify, name, and
describe basic two-
dimensional shapes and
three-dimensional solids.
After reciting their doubles, work with the addition flash cards.
Call on children one by one. If a child does not know the
answer, ask if he or she would like to use their save. The
save is a method where they call on a friend to help them
solve the problem.
After all children have reviewed with the flashcards, the
addition lesson with their lattice worksheet may begin.
Lesson: Begin by handing out their worksheet. All problems
have been arranged with the lattice style charts in columns with
squares under the addition problem.
Work the first row of problems with the children, and then
allow them to work individually to make sure all students are
able to work independently. If you have some students that
struggle, do a couple of more problems with the students. If it
is only one child struggling, help him individually.
1. Write the answer down in the square under the numbers. If
ones value on the bottom. If the answer consists of a a single
digit, write a zero on the top and the answer on the bottom.
Continue this algorithm until all combinations are written down.
2.After combinations are written down, add the diagonal
combinations from the answers. If they have to carry, have
them write the number they carry with a blue or a red crayon.
3.Collect papers, make sure they all have names, and place
them on the tray labeled Daily Work. I will check and grade
pages the following day.
**This page was taken from Pinterest and will not require carrying.
