We are going to learn our lesson by doing an interactive activity using a hula hoop to solve some example problems.

Independent Practice

anncmont — 2025-07-15 02:03:33 UTC

Now that we have learned how to use our manipulatives to solve addition and subtraction problems within 10, we are going to do an independent practice worksheet using our new math tools. This will help me to observe how you are grasping the lesson.

Support Activity

anncmont — 2025-07-15 02:03:36 UTC

Students needing extra support can work with the teacher to solve simpler problems with manipulatives (within 5).

Quick Check

anncmont — 2025-07-15 02:03:36 UTC

Get out your whiteboards, and we are going to answer a few review questions together. Make sure to use your new math tools to add and subtract. Write and hide your answers until I tell you to flip them.

Exit Ticket

Students solve: 'There are 3 buses. 1 drives away. How many buses are left?' Students must show their work using pictures or numbers.

Math Talk

anncmont — 2025-07-15 02:03:37 UTC

Class discussion: 'What strategies did you use today to add and subtract numbers?'

This graphic is an example of some of our learned strategies they could have used.

Show What You Know

anncmont — 2025-07-15 02:03:37 UTC

Students share one addition or subtraction problem they can solve confidently.

K.OA.A.2 Add and subtract within 10 to solve contextual

problems with result/total unknown involving situations of

add to, take from, and put together/take apart. Use

objects, drawings, or equations to represent the problem.

Now we are going to make our own smaller version of the hula hoop to keep in our math tool kit to use when solving addition and subtraction problems within 10.

Introduction to Lesson

anncmont — 2025-07-16 01:15:56 UTC

This video is a fun, engaging video that will be an overview of what we are going to be learning about in our lesson.

Enrichment Activity

anncmont — 2025-07-16 01:26:44 UTC

Students who are picking up faster than other students and want to be challenged can start working on solving what is missing in the equation using a tens frame and manipulatives.

Review Basics of Subtraction and Addition

anncmont — 2025-07-16 01:42:58 UTC

We need to remember that when using Gus the Plus, our numbers grow bigger because we are adding objects together. When we are using Linus the Minus, we are making our numbers smaller by taking objects away.
