Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Plan: Addition to 3

Grade/Age Group

Preschool / Nursery (Ages 3-5)

Subject

Mathematics

Topic

Addition to 3

Objectives

Students will be able to understand the concept of addition through engaging activities.
Students will be able to demonstrate the ability to add numbers 1, 2, and 3 using physical objects.
Students will become familiar with basic mathematical vocabulary associated with addition (e.g., sum, add, total).

Materials

Counting blocks or small manipulatives (e.g., buttons, small toys)
Whiteboard and markers
Worksheets for practice activities
Number flashcards (1-3)
Stickers for rewards
A color-coded chart for addition

Lesson Length

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of addition using verbal explanations and visuals. Use the counting blocks to demonstrate how numbers can be combined.
2	Hands-on Activity	10 minutes	Divide the students into small groups. Provide each group with counting blocks and ask them to create their own addition problems using the blocks. Monitor and assist as necessary.
3	Guided Practice	5 minutes	Bring the class together and invite groups to share one addition problem they created. Guide them in discussing their findings, reinforcing the sum with visuals.
4	Independent Practice	5 minutes	Distribute worksheets with simple addition problems using numbers 1-3. Students will solve these on their own, using manipulatives if needed.
5	Review and Closures	5 minutes	Summarize the lesson and review key terms learned. Collect worksheets for informal assessment. Hand out stickers as rewards for participation and effort.

Assessment

Collect worksheets for informal assessment of understanding.
Observe student participation during hands-on activities.

Homework

Assign simple addition problems (drawing objects or using objects at home) for practice at home. Have caregivers sign off on the worksheet but do not require students to present it in front of the class the following day.

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson plan aligns with the early mathematics standards set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and other relevant educational frameworks that encourage early development of number sense and basic arithmetic concepts.
