Key Concepts

  • Addition as combining groups
  • Subtraction as taking away from a group
  • Solving for unknowns in equations
  • Number recognition 1-10

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to solve simple addition and subtraction problems within 10.
  • Students will be able to identify missing numbers in addition and subtraction equations.
  • Students will engage in physical activity while practicing math skills.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by reviewing basic addition and subtraction concepts. Use manipulatives like counters or fingers to demonstrate. Ask students what addition means (putting together) and what subtraction means (taking away).
  • Video Activity (10 mins)
    Play the 'Level 1 Math Fitness Activity/Brain Break 1-10' video. Encourage students to participate actively by solving the problems as they appear on the screen and performing the corresponding exercises. Pause the video if needed to allow students time to solve the problems.
  • Practice Problems (10 mins)
    After the video, provide additional practice problems on the board or worksheets. Include problems similar to those in the video, as well as some that require students to fill in the missing number (e.g., 3 + ? = 5).
  • Wrap-up (5 mins)
    Review the answers to the practice problems and discuss any challenges students encountered. Emphasize the connection between math and physical activity. Briefly discuss the different math strategies.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number Line Jumps
    Create a number line on the floor (either with tape or by writing numbers on paper). Call out addition or subtraction problems and have students physically jump along the number line to find the answer.
  • Manipulative Math
    Provide students with manipulatives (e.g., counters, blocks) and have them solve the problems from the video using the manipulatives.

Discussion Questions

  • What does it mean to add?
  • What does it mean to subtract?
  • How can you use your fingers to help you add and subtract?
  • Did you like doing math with exercise, and why?

Skills Developed

  • Addition and subtraction fluency
  • Problem-solving
  • Active listening
  • Following directions
  • Gross motor skills

Educational Standards

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. 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). 1.OA.D.8:Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ - 3, 6 + 6 = _.
