Key Concepts

  • Addition as combining groups
  • The plus (+) symbol
  • The equals (=) symbol
  • Counting to find the sum

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to add numbers from 1 to 10.
  • Students will be able to use pictures and objects to help solve addition problems.
  • Students will understand the meaning of the plus and equals signs.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about addition. Show the YouTube video 'Learn Addition 1-10 | Easy Math for Children. Kids Academy'. Explain that today they will learn to add numbers together to find out how many there are in total.
  • Guided Practice (15 mins)
    Work through several addition problems as a class, using objects like blocks or counters. For example: 'Let's say we have 3 blocks, and we add 2 more. How many blocks do we have in total?' Encourage students to count along. Use the examples shown in the video transcript (2+4, 5+3, 6+2, 4+5, 7+2, 5+5, 7+3).
  • Independent Practice (15 mins)
    Give each student a worksheet with simple addition problems (within 1-10). They can use drawings or counters to solve the problems. Walk around the room to provide support and answer questions.
  • Wrap-up (5 mins)
    Review the main concepts of the lesson. Ask students to share what they learned about addition and how they can use it in their everyday lives.

Interactive Exercises

  • Counting with Objects
    Provide students with small objects like buttons or beads. Call out an addition problem (e.g., 2 + 3). Have students use the objects to represent the numbers and then combine them to find the total.
  • Drawing Pictures
    Give students a worksheet with blank spaces. Call out an addition problem (e.g., 4 + 1). Have students draw pictures to represent each number and then count the total number of pictures.

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.
