enjoyed the "Sit Down" game. It's a
fantastic way to warm up our math
brains.

You're welcome!

2. Review

Now, we're going to review the We’re ready, teacher!

concept of place value and why it's so
important in mathematics. Place value
helps us understand the value of each
digit in a number and makes addition
much easier. Let's practice this concept
by solving some addition problems
together.

Great! Let's start with the first

problem:

properly based on their place value.

now.

You're welcome, class! Understanding

place value is essential for more
advanced math, so keep practicing.

lesson using ten-based blocks to
understand addition better. I've set up
the ten-based blocks on the blackboard
(or table) for all of you to see. These
blocks will help us visualize addition
problems.

Great job, Student 3! So, what's the

total? Student 1: It's 53!

Excellent! 36 + 27 equals 53.

Now, let's try another problem: Student 2: I'll give it a try, teacher!

Student 2: So, I have 8 ones and 2

Fantastic! What's the total, Student 2? Student 2: It's 220!

Well done! 148 + 72 equals 220. Student 3: This is so much fun,

teacher!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Using ten-

based blocks can make addition a lot
clearer and more interactive.

2. Presentation

Today, we have an interesting problem

to solve. It involves addition and
requires careful attention to detail.
Let's start by reading the problem:
"Grade school pupils were able to
collect 1,251 kilograms of newspapers
and 1,416 kilograms of scratch papers.
How many kilograms of paper did
they collect in all?"

Now, let's take a moment to think Student 1: We have the weight of

about this problem. What are the newspapers and the weight of scratch
important pieces of information that papers.
we need to solve it?
Student 2: And we need to find out the
total weight when we add them
together.

Excellent analysis! Now, let's proceed Student 3: We should put the given
step by step. Before we add these numbers in the place value chart,
numbers, what's the first thing we right?
should do?

That's correct! The place value chart

will help us organize the numbers
properly. Remember, if we don't write
the numbers in their proper columns,
we might arrive at the wrong answer.
Let's go ahead and do that:

[Write the numbers 1,251 and 1,416

on the blackboard or a large place
value chart, aligning them correctly in
their respective columns.]
Now, can anyone tell me what each Student 1: The rightmost column is for

tens, then hundreds, and thousands.

Very good! Now, let's start adding Student 1: 1 + 1 is 2.

these numbers column by column.
What's 1 + 1 in the ones place?

Right. And in the tens place? Student 2: 5 + 6 is 11.

Good job! But remember, we write the Student 3: It's 4.

ones digit (1) in the tens place and
carry over the other one to the
hundreds place. So, what's 1 + 2 + 1 in
the hundreds place?

Perfect! Now, what do we have in the Student 1: 1 + 1 is 2.

thousands place?

Excellent! Now, we've added all the Student 1: That's a lot of paper!
columns correctly. So, when we add
1,251 kilograms of newspapers and
1,416 kilograms of scratch papers, we
get a total of 2,667 kilograms of paper.

Teacher: It is indeed! Now, let's

practice a bit more to reinforce the
importance of aligning the numbers
properly in their columns. Here are a
couple more examples:

Example 1: 327 + 48
Example 2: 2,345 + 789

Let's work through these examples

step by step, ensuring we place the
numbers correctly in their columns.
Who wants to try solving the first
example on the board?

[Continue working through the

examples, guiding students to write
numbers in their proper columns and
emphasizing the importance of this
step.]

Great job, everyone! I can see that

you're getting the hang of this.
Remember to always pay attention to
proper column alignment when adding
numbers. If you have any more
questions or want more practice, don't
hesitate to ask.

have a discussion to understand why
we don't need to regroup in these
examples.

Excellent! So, when we add numbers Student 1: Maybe when you're

further. Can you think of real-life
situations where you might need to
add numbers like this, without
regrouping?

That's a great example! When you're How about adding up the scores of a

Excellent point! In games, individual

scores are usually less than 10 points,
and when you add them up, you're
essentially adding without regrouping.

In everyday situations, you rarely Student 1: So, learning to add without

You've got it! Understanding how to

add without regrouping is a
fundamental skill that comes in handy
in various everyday scenarios. Great
discussion, everyone! It's essential to
see the practical side of the math we're
learning. If you have any more
questions or thoughts, feel free to
share them. Well done today, class!
 4. Generalization

Alright, class, we've been working on Student 1: We start by adding the

understanding of this process. How do
we add these numbers, and where do
we start when adding them?

Why do we start with the ones Student 2: We start with the ones

value, teacher!

What about the tens column? Student 3: After we finish adding in

the ones column, we move to the tens
column and do the same thing,
teacher!

Student 2: And then we keep moving

to the hundreds and thousands
columns, teacher?

Exactly, Student 4! We continue this Student 1: So, it's all about adding

from right to left, until we've added all worrying about carrying over to the
the columns in each number. If we're next column?

manageable steps, you can confidently
add 3- to 4-digit numbers without
regrouping. Keep practicing, and
you'll become even more skilled at this
process.

You're welcome, class! I'm glad to

hear that you're feeling more
confident. Remember, practice makes
perfect, so keep practicing your
addition skills. If you ever have more
questions or need further clarification,
don't hesitate to ask.

5. Application

Now, get ready to put your math skills Students: We are ready, teacher!
to the test! I'm going to call on some
of you to come up to the blackboard
and solve these addition problems.

Excellent! Student 1, come on up to Student 1: (Solving on the board)

Here's the first problem: 2,345 + 2,102

another student tackle the next
problem.

Great! Here's the next problem: 2,000 Student 2: (Solving on the board)
+ 5,502 + 1,101 = 2,000 + 5,502 + 1,101 equals 8,603.

Fantastic job, Student 2! Now, for the

final problem, let's have Student 3.

Here's the last problem: 5,036 + 2,121 Student 3: (Solving on the board)
+ 2,230 = 5,036 + 2,121 + 2,230 equals 9,387.

Excellent work, Student 3! You all did

a fantastic job solving these addition
problems on the blackboard. It's great
to see your math skills in action.

IV. Evaluation

For your activity, kindly open your

books to page 60, where you’ll find
two sets of problems, letter A and
letter B.

In letter A, it says, "Count the numbers

of base-ten blocks in each set. Then
write the numeral in standard form in
the chart and find their sum."
Now, let's switch to letter B. In this Okay, teacher!
