Mathematics Lesson Plan for Grade 1

Lesson Title: Introduction to Addition

Duration: 30 minutes

---

Objectives

Students will be able to:

• Understand the concept of addition.
• Solve simple addition problems using objects.
• Communicate their reasoning when solving addition problems.

---

Materials Needed

• Counting blocks or counters (10 per student)
• Whiteboard and markers
• Handout with addition problems (for homework)
• A storybook that includes counting or addition

---

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Greeting and Warm-Up:

   • Gather students and ask them how many fingers they have on one hand.
   • Discuss why counting is important in daily life.

2. Engaging Question:

   • "If I have 2 apples and I buy 3 more, how many apples do I have now?"

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Introduce Addition:

   • Explain that addition is combining two or more groups to find out how many there are in total.

2. Demonstrate Using Objects:

   • Use counting blocks. Show 2 blocks and then add 3 more. Count all blocks to find out the total.

3. Visual Representation:

   • Draw the problem on the whiteboard:
     • 2 + 3 = ?
   • Discuss the equal sign and what it means.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Hands-On Activity:

   • Distribute counting blocks to each student.
   • Ask them to create their own addition problem using their blocks (e.g., 4 + 2).

2. Partner Work:

   • Have students pair up and share their problems with each other, explaining their reasoning.

3. Whole Class Sharing:

   • Invite a few students to share their problems and answers with the class to reinforce learning.

Closing (5 minutes)

1. Recap:

   • Summarize the key points about addition.
   • Reinforce that addition means putting groups together.

2. Assign Homework:

   • Distribute a handout with 5 simple addition problems. Explain that they should try to solve these problems with their parents or guardians.

Assessment

• Observe students during guided practice to assess their understanding.
• Review homework for correct answers and reasoning.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to use real-life examples of addition at home.
• Consider incorporating stories or games related to addition in future lessons.
