Objective (s):
• Students will begin to develop an understating of addition equations using numbers from 1-9 to eventually add numbers to equal 10.
• They will apply their understanding by creating their own animal equations with toy animals and recording their numbered equations on paper or dry erase board.
Materials:
Pencil, large white piece of paper folded in half, equation assessment activity sheet, book that is read at the beginning of the lesson, animals placed all around the classroom in groups under ten for students to add.
Assessment:
• Formative: Students will be assessed this way through all group work on equations (observational assessments) and the Zoo Animal equations that they created …show more content…
Then release students to find their own animals to add. As students are turning in their sheets, go over with them what they have done and give immediate feedback on their work. In the last two minutes call students back to the rug to then send them back to their seats. As students are working filter in the classroom with them and observe who is doing well and who is not. Make notes later.
Okay now that we have explored the animals in our classroom, we are going to practice adding a few equations at our tables. On our tables are sheets that have equations for you to draw the pictures for and then find the answer.
Independent Practice: I have done one up here for you to see. I have the equation 2 + 2 = . Under the first 2, what do I do? (whole class answer) Right, draw 2 circles. What about up the other two? (whole class) Right two more circles. But you can draw anything that you want under each, just make sure that what you draw matches the number. So how many does this equal let's count? (count together) 1.2.3.4- The answer is four. (Go over directions again and then ask if there are questions. Then dismiss for individual practice. After students are done with their independent practice have them turn in their sheets. Give 10 minutes to complete) (22
