Introduction to Addition (5 Minutes)

What is Addition? Addition is the process of putting together two or more numbers to find a total. The symbol for addition is +.

Example: If you have 2 apples and you get 3 more apples, to find out how many apples you have in total, you would add: 2 + 3 = 5

Different Methods to Add (10 Minutes)

1. Using Number Lines A number line helps visualize addition. Start at 2 and move 3 steps to the right.

• Example: For 2 + 3, start at 2, jump 3 spaces to 5.

2. Using Objects Using physical objects such as blocks, counters, or even fingers can simplify addition.

• Example: Count out 2 blocks, then add 3 more blocks to see that you have 5 blocks in total.

3. Mental Math Practice solving addition problems in your head.

• Example: What is 6 + 7? Try to break it down: 6 + 4 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13

Addition within 20 (5 Minutes)

Practice Problems:

1. 4 + 5 =
2. 7 + 6 =
3. 3 + 8 =
4. 9 + 10 =

Allow students to solve these either independently or in pairs, and then discuss their answers.

Real-World Addition Problems (5 Minutes)

Word Problems:

1. Sarah has 5 candies, and her friend gives her 4 more. How many candies does Sarah have now?
2. A farmer picks 6 oranges in the morning and 7 in the afternoon. How many oranges did he pick all day?

Encourage students to draw pictures or use objects to visualize the problems.

Review and Practice (5 Minutes)

Give students a few minutes to solve these final quick problems on their own:

1. 8 + 4 =
2. 5 + 5 =
3. 2 + 9 =

Ask for volunteers to share their answers and explain how they got their results.
