Lesson Script: Addition and Subtraction

Duration: 30 Minutes

Grade Level: Year 5

---

Introduction (5 minutes)

Objective:

Today, we will explore the concepts of addition and subtraction, focusing on methods that will help us improve our skills. We will engage in practical activities to apply what we've learned and understand the importance of these operations in everyday life.

Warm-Up Activity (5 minutes)

Think-Pair-Share

1. Think: Take a moment to think about where you see addition and subtraction in your daily life.
2. Pair: Turn to your partner and share your thoughts.
3. Share: A few students will be invited to share one example with the whole class.

Example Prompts:

• "What do you add when shopping?"
• "How can subtraction help you when planning a budget?"

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

Addition

Definition:

Addition is the process of finding the total or sum by combining two or more numbers.

Example:

If we have 8 apples and we buy 5 more, how many apples do we have altogether?

• Mathematical representation:
  ( 8 + 5 = 13 )

Subtraction

Definition:

Subtraction is the process of determining how many are left after some have been taken away.

Example:

If you start with 15 marbles and give 7 away, how many marbles do you have left?

• Mathematical representation:
  ( 15 - 7 = 8 )

Visual Models:

1. Number Line: Show how addition moves to the right and subtraction moves to the left.
2. Base Ten Blocks: Use physical or virtual blocks to demonstrate how numbers can be grouped to enhance understanding of addition and subtraction.

Guided Practice (5 minutes)

Group Activity:

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Each group will receive a set of addition and subtraction problems on cards.

Example Problems:

1. ( 34 + 29 )
2. ( 58 - 22 )

Instructions:

• Solve the problems as a group, using the strategies we discussed.
• One member from each group will present their solutions to the class, explaining the process they used to arrive at the answer.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

Worksheet Activity:

Students will complete a worksheet with the following tasks:

1. Solve the following addition problems:

   • ( 47 + 36 )
   • ( 85 + 19 )

2. Solve the following subtraction problems:

   • ( 70 - 23 )
   • ( 96 - 48 )

Instructions:

• Work quietly at your desks and complete the worksheet.
• Check your work with a partner once you are finished.

Review and Check for Understanding (5 minutes)

Class Discussion:

• Go through the answers to the worksheet as a class.
• Ask students to explain how they solved one of the problems.
• Address any common mistakes or misconceptions.

Reflection:

• Ask students to reflect on what they found easy or challenging about addition and subtraction.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

Summary:

• Recap the key points learned about addition and subtraction today.
• Highlight the importance of these operations in real-world situations.

Exit Ticket:

• Each student will write down one real-world situation where they might use addition or subtraction and share it as they leave class.

Teacher's Notes:

• Ensure to move around the classroom during group work and worksheet time to provide assistance as needed.
• Encourage students to use strategies like drawing pictures or using manipulatives if they are struggling with the problems.

Resources:

• Number line visuals
• Base ten blocks (physical or digital)
• Worksheet for independent practice
