CC.K.OA.2 Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. Objectives: 1. Students will understand basic number addition. 2. Students will accurately compute addition problems using manipulatives. Warm-up Review counting from 1-20 forwards and backwards. Use students as counters. Gather 2 groups of students in front of room- one group of three, one group of two. Propose situational question These three friends like to eat apples, and these two friends like to eat oranges. How many students in all like to eat fruit? (five) Direct Instruction Define terms together at the board: addition, addend, sum Discuss key words for addition: in all, altogether, total, sum. Practice several groupings, demonstrating with counters at the overhead. Practice Give students each an individual bag of colored candies, crackers, or counters. Ask how many are orange? Green? Add them together. How many orange plus green altogether? How many are purple? How many are there in all? Continue probing questions of students with their counters. Practice writing number sentence form: 2+4=6; 3+5=8, etc. Closure Challenge students to create a situational story problem to go with an addition or subtraction sentence. Ex: 4+1=5. (I have 4 brothers in addition to myself. There are 5 children total in my family.) Manipulative such as: cubes, counters, colored crackers, colored candies, etc. White paper Marker Board Worksheets Pencils addend, addition, sum, in all, altogether, total. Group students in mixed ability pairs Ask student pairs to create an addition or subtraction problem that can be solved using their counters. Pairs of students work together to create problems for each other and solve.
