Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to add two single-digit numbers together to find their sum.
Standards Addressed:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.1 Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.2 Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.3 Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.5 Fluently add and subtract within 5.
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
ANTICIPATORY SET: Edpuzzle Video (shown in the video above).
*Depending on when this is done in the year and the students familiarity with how to use this technology, this can either be done independently with headphones or whole group on the SmartBoard.
GRADUAL RELEASE MODEL: "I DO" (TEACHER MODELING)
*Show students two different colored manipulatives (cubes, counting bears, buttons...)
*Ask students how many of the first color I have? (call on students)
*Ask students how many of the second color I have? (call on students)
*Ask how many I have when I "JOIN" them "TOGETHER"? (make sure to stress the new vocabulary)
*Discuss with students that the process that we just completed was addition and that today we are going to learn how to add.
GRADUAL RELEASE MODEL: "WE DO" (GUIDED PRACTICE)
*Distribute tangible manipulatives to students (either in pairs or small groups)
*Tell each student to grab ___ (color) cubes/bears
*Walk around and montior students and assist struggling students
*Tell them to now grab ___ (different color) cubes/bears
*Walk around and monitor students and assist struggling students
*Ask students to know add to see how many (cubes/bears) they have ALL TOGETHER
*Tell students to do this aloud so that I can walk around and listen for comprhension
*Practice this rountine 2-3 times
GRADUAL RELEASE MODEL: "YOU DO" (INDEPENDENT PRACTICE)
*Students will practice working with their new skills on Zearn playing the "Make and Break" game (demonstrated in the video above)
*Walk around and assist students when needed
ASSESSMENT
*If students miss more than three out of the ten questions on Zearn, review with students and offer additional assistance
*Model with the tangible manipulatives while students complete the questions on Zearn if needed
CLOSING
*Ask students to verbalize what they feel they have learned today
*Prompt and guide them to the correct answer
*Look for and praise the use of the following vocabulary: "JOIN", "ADD", "SUM", "TOGETHER"
This was awesome, especially because you had your daughter to demonstrate. It was also a great idea that you were able to embed pictorial answers since you mention kindergarteners don’t know how to read yet. Not only that, but also the use of objects in order for students to physically see and touch them to count. Zearn makes it extremely easy for students to follow because it’s color coded and it provides a number line.
