Key Concepts

  • Addition
  • Number 9
  • Number combinations

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to identify different number combinations that add up to 9.
  • Students will be able to represent addition equations using objects or drawings.
  • Students will understand the concept of equality in addition.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about the number 9. Ask them to share examples of where they see the number 9 in their everyday lives. Briefly introduce the video and explain that they will be learning all about the different ways to make the number 9.
  • Video Viewing (7 mins)
    Play the YouTube video "Learn Grade 1 - Maths - The Story of number 9". Encourage students to pay close attention to the number combinations presented in the video.
  • Discussion (5 mins)
    After the video, have a class discussion about the different number combinations that make 9. Write these combinations on the board (e.g., 1+8=9, 2+7=9, 3+6=9, etc.).
  • Activity: Flower Power (10 mins)
    Provide each student with a worksheet containing incomplete flower equations, similar to the activity in the video (e.g., 4 + ___ = 9). Have students draw yellow flowers in the blank space to complete the equations. They can use crayons or markers.
  • Wrap-up (3 mins)
    Review the key concepts learned in the lesson. Ask students to share their favorite number combination that makes 9. Briefly introduce the upcoming quiz to assess their understanding.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number 9 Scavenger Hunt
    Hide nine objects around the classroom. Have students work in pairs to find all nine objects. Once they find them, ask them to create different addition equations using those objects that equal to nine (e.g., 2 pencils + 7 erasers = 9 objects).
  • Building with Blocks
    Provide students with blocks. Have them use different colors of blocks to represent number combinations for 9. For example, 3 red blocks + 6 blue blocks = 9 blocks.

Educational Standards

CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.1:Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6:Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13). CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.D.7:Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 - 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.
