Key Concepts

  • Addition facts to 10
  • Fact fluency
  • Number combinations

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to recall addition facts to 10.
  • Students will be able to solve simple addition problems within 10 quickly and accurately.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about addition. Review the meaning of the plus sign (+) and the equal sign (=). Explain that today they will be learning addition facts to 10 through a fun, active game.
  • Video Time (5 mins)
    Play the 'Back to School Addition to 10 Fact Fluency: Math Brain Break' video. Encourage students to participate in the movements and say the addition facts along with the video.
  • Practice Round (10 mins)
    After the video, lead a practice round of addition problems. Call out addition problems (e.g., 2 + 3 = ?). Have students either say the answer aloud or use their fingers to show the answer. You can also incorporate movements similar to those in the video (e.g., jump that many times).
  • Independent Practice (10 mins)
    Provide students with worksheets or whiteboards and markers. Write out addition problems within 10 for them to solve independently. Circulate the room to provide assistance as needed.
  • Wrap-up (5 mins)
    Review the key addition facts to 10. Ask students which facts they found easy and which they found challenging. Encourage them to continue practicing at home.

Interactive Exercises

  • Flashcard Fun
    Create flashcards with addition problems (e.g., 4 + 2). Show the flashcards to students and have them say the answer as quickly as they can. You can add a physical activity component by having them do a jumping jack for each correct answer.
  • Number Line Hop
    Draw a number line on the floor with numbers from 0 to 10. Call out an addition problem (e.g., 3 + 4). Have a student start at 3 and hop 4 spaces to find the answer.

Educational Standards

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.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.
