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}

• Whiteboard and markers
• Printable addition worksheets
• Number line (printed on paper or large poster)
• Visual aids depicting addition in real-life scenarios (e.g., adding fruits, toys)

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

Duration

30 minutes

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Addition	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of addition using counting blocks. Demonstrate with 1 + 1 using blocks.
2	Guided Practice	10 minutes	Conduct a group activity where students combine groups of blocks to create sums. Ask them to share their results verbally while you assist.
3	Independent Practice	10 minutes	Hand out printable addition worksheets. Students will work independently to solve simple addition problems using pictures and numbers.
4	Real-Life Application	3 minutes	Show visual aids of real-life addition scenarios (e.g., adding fruits). Discuss with students where they see addition in their lives.
5	Review and Conclusion	2 minutes	Summarise what was learned about addition. Remind students to practice addition at home.

Assessment

• Informal assessments will occur during group activities and independent practice.
• Collect worksheets at the end of the lesson for evaluation of understanding.
• Homework will be checked without students presenting in front of the class.

National Curriculum Alignment

• This lesson aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) focusing on numeracy development.
• It also meets the Australian Curriculum standards for mathematics, particularly in understanding number concepts and operations.

Homework

• Assign a simple worksheet with addition problems to practice at home.
• Encourage students to count and add items they see around the house (e.g., apples, toys) but will not present in class.
