Hello, Year 1 students! Are you ready to have some fun with math? Today, we will be starting our lesson on addition, where we will be learning how to add numbers together.

But before we get into the math, let's start with a fun activity that will get us in the mood for learning.

Activity: Addition Race

For this game, we will split the class into two teams. Each team will line up, and the first person from each team will be given an addition problem to solve. The first person to solve the problem correctly and correctly say the answer out loud, will run to the back of the line, and the next person in line will receive a new problem. The game continues until each member of the team has had a chance to solve a problem.

The team that finishes first, wins!

Introduction to Addition

Now that we are warmed up, let's dive into our lesson on addition. Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers together to find the total or the sum.

Let's start with a simple example:

2 + 3 =

To solve this problem, we start with the first number, which is 2. Then, we add the second number, which is 3. Finally, we get the answer, which is 5.

Let's try another:

4 + 1 =

Again, we start with the first number, which is 4. We add the second number, which is 1. And we get the answer, which is 5.

Conclusion

Great job, Year 1 students! You have now learned how to add two numbers together. We will be practicing more addition problems in our next lesson. But for now, why don't you try some addition problems at home and see how many you can solve?

Until next time, keep learning and having fun!
