Lesson Plan 1 addition
Grade Level: 1
Subject: Mathematics
Duration: 1 hour
Date: [Insert Date]
Teacher: [Insert Name]
Objectives:
1. Students will be able to understand the concept of addition as putting together.
2. Students will be able to solve simple addition problems using objects and number sentences.
3. Students will demonstrate the ability to count and combine sets of objects.
Materials:
Counters (e.g., blocks, buttons, or beads)
Whiteboard and markers
Addition worksheets
Storybooks that involve addition concepts
Visual aids (e.g., number line, addition charts)
Procedure:
1. Introduction (10 minutes)
Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever heard of addition.
Explain that addition is when we put things together to find out how many we have in total.
Show a simple visual (e.g., 2 apples + 3 apples) and ask students how many apples there are in
total.
2. Direct Instruction (15 minutes)
Demonstrate addition using counters. For example, show 2 counters, then add 3 more, and
count the total.
Write the number sentence on the board (e.g., 2 + 3 = 5).
Explain each step, emphasizing counting and combining the groups.
3. Guided Practice (15 minutes)
Distribute counters to each student or pair of students.
Give them simple addition problems to solve using their counters (e.g., 1 + 4, 3 + 2).
Walk around and assist students as needed, encouraging them to write down their number
sentences.
4. Independent Practice (15 minutes)
Provide addition worksheets with pictures and number sentences for students to complete on
their own.
Encourage them to use counters if they need help visualizing the problems.
5. Closure (5 minutes)
Gather students and discuss what they learned about addition.
Ask a few students to share their favorite addition problem they worked on.
Reinforce the idea that addition helps us find out how many we have when we combine
groups.
Assessment:
Observe students during guided and independent practice to assess their understanding.
Review completed worksheets for accuracy and understanding of addition concepts.
Homework:
Assign a simple addition worksheet for practice at home.
Encourage students to find objects at home they can add together and write down their number
sentences.
