Addition Skill Builders for First Grade Math Printable Lesson Plan

Lesson Title:Addition Skill Builders for First Grade Math

Lesson Objective: Students will be able to solve basic addition problems with numbers up to 10.

Materials:

Whiteboard and markers

Addition worksheets (provided by teacher)

Small manipulatives (such as counting bears or blocks)

Introduction (5 minutes):

Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of addition. Ask students to give examples of addition problems they have solved in the past (e.g. “3 + 2 = ?”)

Write a few simple addition problems on the whiteboard (e.g. “5 + 2 = ?”) and ask students to solve them verbally.

Direct Instruction (15 minutes):

Use manipulatives (such as counting bears or blocks) to demonstrate addition problems to the class. For example, if you were solving the problem “5 + 2 = ?”, you would place 5 bears in one pile and 2 bears in another pile, then count the total number of bears to find the solution (7).

Have students work on a few addition problems as a class, using manipulatives to solve them.

Pass out addition worksheets to the students and have them solve the problems independently.

Guided Practice (20 minutes):

Have students work in small groups with their classmates to solve addition problems on the worksheets.

Walk around the room to check for understanding and provide support as needed.

As a group, have them share their answers for the worksheet problems, ensuring that all students understand the concept and how to solve the problems.

Independent Practice (20 minutes):

Give students time to work independently on additional addition problems on their worksheets.

Provide assistance as needed.

Closure (5 minutes):

Review the concepts covered during the lesson and have students solve one or two addition problems as a class to check for understanding.

Assign additional practice problems for homework if necessary.

Assessment:

Observe students during independent practice to assess their understanding of addition concepts.

Collect and review completed worksheets for accuracy and understanding.

Give a brief quiz or written test to assess student’s ability to solve addition problems independently.

Note:

To make the lesson more interactive, you can include games and activities that involve addition.

To differentiate instruction, you can provide extra support to the students who need it by giving them additional worksheets or breaking the problems down into smaller parts.

Overall, the goal of this lesson is to give first-grade students a solid foundation in solving basic addition problems with numbers up to 10. By using manipulatives, working in small groups, and providing independent practice opportunities, students will be able to grasp the concepts and develop the skills necessary to successfully solve addition problems.
