Key Concepts

  • Addition within 20
  • Number recognition
  • Problem-solving

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to solve addition problems within 20.
  • Students will be able to identify the correct answer from a set of options.
  • Students will be able to engage in physical activity while learning.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Start by asking students what they like to do in the summer. Then, explain that they will be playing a game that combines math and exercise! Tell them they will be watching a video and will have to solve addition problems by choosing the correct answer and performing the matching exercise.
  • Video Activity (10 mins)
    Play the "SUMMER ADDITION GAME" video. Encourage students to participate actively by solving the addition problems and doing the exercises. Pause the video if needed to give students more time to solve the problems.
  • Review and Discussion (5 mins)
    After the video, review the addition problems with the students. Ask them how they solved the problems and what strategies they used. Discuss which exercises they enjoyed the most and how it felt to learn while moving.

Interactive Exercises

  • Flashcard Fun
    Use flashcards with addition problems within 20. Have students solve the problems and then do a quick exercise (e.g., jumping jacks, arm circles) based on the answer. For example, if the answer is 10, they do 10 jumping jacks.
  • Number Line Jump
    Draw a number line on the floor with numbers 0-20. Call out an addition problem and have students jump to the answer on the number line.

Discussion Questions

  • What strategies did you use to solve the addition problems?
  • Did you find it easier to learn while moving? Why or why not?
  • What other ways can we make learning fun and active?

Skills Developed

  • Addition fluency
  • Active listening
  • Problem-solving
  • Gross motor skills

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. CCSS.Math.Content.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 = _.
