Intro: This lesson was designed to help 1st grade students understand the basics of addition and number stories. The lesson uses drawing to show the addition of single digit numbers.

Subject Area and Classroom: 12:1 Special Education, 2nd grade, Urban setting Objective/Student Outcome: Student will learn how to add single digit numbers using manipulatives and representative drawings. Common Core Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1 CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.2 Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Focus Questions: How can I use addition in my daily life? Materials Needed: Markers White Board Go Math book Counters Vocabulary and Key Terms: Add Sum Plus Equals Pre-Assessment:

Assessments have been made using ongoing observation and the prompts given to the group in the Go Math book. Lesson Presentation: Set Induction: (5 min) If I see one cat, and two more join them, are there more cats, or less cats? There are more! How do I know there are MORE cats? (Because 2 cats JOIN the other cat that was already there) I want to use addition to show how I see one cat, and two more join them. (Model the story on the white board) Now that we know there are more cats, lets listen to the story one more time. If I see one cat, and two more join them. How many cats do I see in all? (Ask a child to answer, then come up and draw the answer.) Mini Lesson: (10 min) (Explain that the white boards are not to draw what they like. When we are not doing a problem, they must park their boards and markers in front of them and have their hands in their laps.) Please take a look in your work books. Turn to page 13. We are going to do one problem together. Remember. We are using addition. We want to add as we listen to our story and find the sum, or how many we have in all. Listen and draw: There are 3 ladybugs on a leaf. Two more ladybugs join them. How many are there? (Model the problem on the board. Ask them what you should draw, then have the draw it on their own white boards. As you are drawing, explain the details of your drawing by saying here is the body, here are the dots, because ladybugs have dots, etc.) Give them a few minutes to work out the problem and watch who can do it on their own. Ask someone to share.

Activity: (20 min) Allow the students who can work independently to do so in their Go Math books (p. 14)and work one on one with the students who need further instruction. If necessary, use counters. Differentiation: Lowest Level: Pair Christopher up with Lassana to help him draw and understand concept. This will also help Lassana remember concept, because he has to explain it. Intermediate level: Work with Signori and Kevin on independent portion and give detailed instruction and real life examples. Use counters. Highest level: Have Fernando work independently Closure: (5 min) Students will share what they learned by showing eachother and comapring answers. Ask them to synthesize what we did during the lesson.
