Lesson Plan: Introduction to Addition

Grade Level: 1
Subject: Mathematics
Duration: 30 minutes
Topic: Addition

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Understand the concept of addition as combining two or more groups.
• Solve simple addition problems using pictures, objects, and numbers.
• Demonstrate the ability to add numbers up to 10.

Materials Needed

• Counting blocks or manipulatives
• Whiteboard and markers
• Addition flashcards (pictures and numbers)
• Worksheet for practice
• Pencils

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Start the lesson by asking the students, "What do we do when we add things together?"
• Briefly explain that addition is like putting two groups of objects together to find out how many there are in total.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

• Use counting blocks to demonstrate addition visually.
  • Show 2 blocks and 3 blocks.
  • Count them together: "Let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We have 5 blocks in total!"
• Introduce the addition equation: "2 + 3 = 5". Write this on the whiteboard.
• Show different addition facts using flashcards. Example: 1 + 4, 2 + 2, and 3 + 1.

Guided Practice (5 minutes)

• Hand out counting blocks and encourage students to work in pairs to create their own addition problems with the blocks provided.
• Ask them to represent their problems on the whiteboard, drawing the objects or writing the number sentences.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Distribute a worksheet with simple addition problems (examples below) for students to complete individually:
  1. 1 + 1 = ___
  2. 2 + 3 = ___
  3. 4 + 1 = ___
  4. 0 + 5 = ___

Conclusion (5 minutes)

• Review the addition problems from the worksheet as a class.
• Highlight different ways to solve addition problems and encourage students to share their methods.
• Reinforce the idea that addition is combining.

Homework

Assignment

Students are to complete the following addition problems at home:

1. 3 + 2 = ___
2. 5 + 1 = ___
3. 2 + 4 = ___
4. 1 + 3 = ___
5. 0 + 6 = ___

Correct Answers

1. 3 + 2 = 5
2. 5 + 1 = 6
3. 2 + 4 = 6
4. 1 + 3 = 4
5. 0 + 6 = 6
