| Lesson Plans:
Ladybugs and Leaves
Students will investigate different ways a number can be expressed as a
sum. (Sums will need to be adjusted for kindergarten.)
Easter Egg Math
A springtime activity designed for reviewing addition and subtraction
facts and learning problem-solving skills.
Cups Add Up
Combines and separates sets of objects by a given characteristic (size,
shape, color, and quantity) as readiness for the
operations of addition and subtraction.
Goldfish Addition and Subtraction
Students use goldfish crackers to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
Do It with
Dominoes: Unit Overview:
In this Unit Plan (9 lessons), students explore the four models of
addition (counting, sets, number line, and balanced equations) using
dominoes. They also learn about the order property, the relation
between addition and subtraction, and the result of adding 0.
Macaroni
Math: Unit Overview:
In this Unit (7 lessons), students explore "take away" subtraction in
several different context (counting, sets, number line, balanced
equations, and inverse of addition) using pasta shapes. They also
decompose numbers and explore both the zero property and the
relationship between addition and subtraction.
Begin With
Buttons: Unit Overview:
In this Unit (8 lessons), students use buttons to explore logical and
numerical relationships. Students explore the relationships between
numbers and model addition and subtraction sentences with buttons.
Bunny
Addition:
After listening to the story Count on Bunnies, students will
solve bunny equations.
Join
Them Together/Take Them Away:
In this lesson, students will be able to act out simple addition and
subtraction stories using manipulatives and hyperstudio presentations.
They will then transfer that knowledge onto paper activities.
Food Pyramid Power
In these lessons, students will explore properties of addition. The
food pyramid is the starting point for these explorations. Students’
ability to classify forms the basis of algebraic thinking. In this
unit, students explore sorting and patterning and apply these
logical processes to the operation of addition in the set model.
They also construct sets of a given number and find missing addends.
