Learning Objectives

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

1. Understand and apply the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
2. Solve word problems using the appropriate operation.
3. Demonstrate fluency in performing calculations with whole numbers.

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 Minutes)

Begin the class with a brief introduction to the four operations:

• Addition (+): Combining two or more numbers to get a total.
• Subtraction (−): Finding the difference between numbers.
• Multiplication (×): Adding a number to itself a certain number of times.
• Division (÷): Splitting a number into equal parts.

Ask students to give examples of each operation from their everyday lives (e.g., shopping, sharing).

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Addition and Subtraction

   • Explain the relationship between addition and subtraction.
   • Show examples on the whiteboard.
   • Solve a sample problem with the class:
     • Example: 25 + 17 = ?
     • Example: 42 - 19 = ?

2. Multiplication and Division

   • Illustrate multiplication as repeated addition.
   • Explain division as the inverse of multiplication.
   • Solve examples together:
     • Example: 6 × 4 = ?
     • Example: 24 ÷ 6 = ?

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

Distribute the worksheets with a variety of problems that require the use of all four operations. Some problems could be:

1. 23 + 39 = ?
2. 84 - 27 = ?
3. 7 × 8 = ?
4. 64 ÷ 8 = ?
5. A pizza is cut into 8 slices. If 2 slices are eaten, how many slices are left?

Encourage students to work in pairs and discuss their approaches to solving the problems. Move around the classroom to assist where needed.

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

Ask students to complete a few additional problems individually from their math journals to reinforce the concepts learned:

1. 56 + 34 = ?
2. 90 - 45 = ?
3. 9 × 5 = ?
4. 81 ÷ 9 = ?

---

Conclusion (5 Minutes)

Review the importance of the four operations in real-life situations. Ask students to share any challenges they faced during the lesson and clarify any misunderstandings.

Homework Assignment

Instructions

Complete the following problems at home:

1. 47 + 26 = ?
2. 50 - 33 = ?
3. 12 × 3 = ?
4. 72 ÷ 8 = ?
5. A box can hold 24 toys. If you have 120 toys, how many boxes do you need?

Answer Key

1. 47 + 26 = 73
2. 50 - 33 = 17
3. 12 × 3 = 36
4. 72 ÷ 8 = 9
5. To determine how many boxes are needed: 120 ÷ 24 = 5 boxes

Assessment

Students will be assessed based on their participation during class activities, completion of their worksheets, and accuracy on the homework assignment.

Encourage students to practice mental math with the four operations regularly and to ask questions if they need further clarification.
