Description |
| Quacking Addition – Sums within Ten: | This activity deepens the students' understanding of addition and recording addition sentences by using an engaging story about ducks in a pond. |
| Counting Fingers: | In this lesson, students will use their fingers and manipulatives to help solve simple addition problems within 5. |
| SPLASH! Jumping In and Out of the Pond: | In this lesson, students will use manipulatives and equations to represent and solve addition and subtraction word problems. |
| Balancing Equations: | This is an engaging, hands-on lesson to help the students understand the meaning of the equal sign. The lesson is written using a pan/equal arm balance but may be done with just connecting cubes. |
| You Are a Smart Cookie: | The students will use M&M's to find the number that makes 10, for any number from 1 to 9, when added to the given number. Students will record the answer as both a drawing and an equation. |
| All Together Now - or NOT - Part II: | In this lesson, students will use manipulatives and equations to model and solve subtraction equations. |
| All Together Now, Part 1: | In this lesson students will use manipulatives and equations to model bringing together two smaller groups to make one large group. This is part one of a two part series. Part 2 is titled "All Together Now- or NOT" (Resource 49796). |
| Ten is a Friend!: | Students will learn about the concept of ones and tens and how 10 is a friendly number that we can utilize in various ways in mathematics. They will physically manipulate snap cubes to make a ten train and add on randomly selected ones that will include the numbers 11-19. After that students will draw representations of the numbers 11-19 and finally write the two-digit number that a ten train and a selected group of ones will create. |
| Monster Math - Composing and Decomposing the Number 10: | This activity will have students finding ways to make ten. Students use two colors of linking cubes to make and record equations of ten. |
| One more up on top: | Students will be able to describe how adding by one is like counting up or on. |
| Ten Red Apples - One less: | This activity practices taking one away from a number to compose an equation. |
| Going Loopy for Addition: | The students will partner up and use Fruit Loops to represent addition equations with sums up to 10. They will draw, act out, use verbal explanations and write equations to show addition. |
| 10 Fat Turkeys – Practice with Subtracting One Within Ten: | In this lesson, students will work with subtraction within 10 by taking 1 away from a number. |
| Addition Story Problem Fun: | In this lesson, students will act out situations as an introduction to story problems. Students will also have the opportunity to solve addition story problems using manipulatives. |
| Decompose That Teen Number!: | The students will receive explicit instruction from the teacher on the definition of decomposing a number and how to represent a decomposition with manipulatives, drawings, and equations. The students will use linking cubes to reflect numbers from 11-19, and to show their understanding of how to decompose a number. Students will record decompositions as an equation. |
| How Many Goldfish?: | In this lesson, students will solve addition and subtraction word problems using Goldfish crackers. Students will also work with a partner to create and solve their own addition and subtraction word problems. |
