Lesson Plan for Teachers on Addition – One Digit

Lesson Title:Addition – One Digit

Lesson Objective: Students will be able to solve one-digit addition problems and understand the concept of carrying over when adding.

Materials: Whiteboard, dry-erase markers, number cards (0-9), addition worksheets, manipulatives (e.g. base ten blocks, counters)

Introduction (5 minutes): Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what addition is. Allow students to share their understanding of addition. Write a few examples of simple addition problems on the whiteboard (e.g. 2 + 3 = 5, 4 + 6 = 10)

Direct Instruction (10 minutes): Explain to students that addition is when we combine two or more numbers together to find the total. Write the problem 2 + 3 = ? on the whiteboard and have students suggest ways to solve it. Model different methods for solving the problem using number cards or manipulatives such as base ten blocks or counters. Introduce the concept of carrying over when one of the digits in the problem equals or exceeds 10. Write the problem 9 + 5 = ? on the whiteboard and demonstrate how to carry over and find the correct answer.

Guided Practice (15 minutes): Divide students into small groups. Give each group a set of number cards and have them work together to solve simple addition problems. Monitor the groups and provide feedback as needed. Provide assistance with carrying over when necessary.

Independent Practice (20 minutes): Hand out an addition worksheet to each student with one-digit addition problems. Ask students to solve the problems on their own. Provide additional support to students who need it. Collect the worksheets and provide feedback to students.

Closure (5 minutes): As a class, review the concept of carrying over when adding. Ask students to share any strategies they used to solve the addition problems. Remind students that practice is important for understanding and solving addition problems.

Assessment: Observe the students during the independent practice to assess their understanding of solving one-digit addition problems and carrying over. Collect and review the worksheets to assess students’ ability to solve one-digit addition problems and understand the concept of carrying over.

Note: The above is just a general guide, adjust duration and activities according to the class size and student’s level of understanding.
