Introduction to Addition
Year 1
Mathematics
20 students
30 minutes
This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics for Year 1, focusing on the foundation of addition as part of numerical understanding.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Addition | 5 minutes | Begin by discussing the concept of addition using everyday language, relating to real-life situations (e.g., "If I have 2 apples and I get 1 more, how many do I have?"). Introduce the addition symbol (+). |
| 2 | Hands-on Activity | 10 minutes | Distribute counting objects to students. Ask them to perform simple addition problems by grouping objects (e.g., combining groups of 2 and 3). |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 minutes | On the whiteboard, demonstrate addition using a number line. Solve a few problems as a class, encouraging participation while everyone follows along. |
| 4 | Independent Work | 5 minutes | Hand out addition worksheets. Students will work individually to solve simple addition problems, using pictures, numbers, and their counting objects as needed. |
| 5 | Review and Check | 5 minutes | Collect worksheets for assessment without asking students to present; briefly go over solutions as a class, addressing any common misconceptions while reinforcing the key ideas of the lesson. |
Provide a simple addition worksheet for students to complete at home, which reinforces the skills learned in class. Collect the homework in the following lesson without any formal presentations.
