the similarities and differences between the right side of the equal sign and the left side?
What does the equal sign mean? Two pairs of students will be asked to explain what they
observed and whether the grouping of the numbers affects the answer for each side.
b. Students will respond orally to the teachers questions.
Step #4 Associative Property of Addition
a. In pairs students will come up with three different addends and be asked to find the sum
using cubes. They will then be asked to group the numbers differently by building two
towers. Ex. 2+ (3+5) = (2+3) +5. A pair of students will mention the addends they selected
and how they grouped them differently.
b. The teacher will observe students.
Step #5 Application Activity
a. In pairs or independently, students will complete a worksheet on the associative property of
addition.
b. Teacher will walk around the class and monitor how student progress.
B. APPLICATION ACTIVITY (Practice and/or Reflection): The associative property of addition
worksheet has three columns and lists eight number sentences. The answer to the number sentences
will be written in the first column. In the second column, the number sentence with the differently
grouped addends will be written and the result will be included in the third column. See Step #5.
C. MATERIALS & RESOURCES:
Cubes
Five different signs
Pencils
Board
Math journal
Vocabulary chart
Worksheet

V. ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES (Methods for Obtaining Evidence of Learning):
Formative: Steps #1-5
Summative: By recalling the engagement activity and reviewing the vocabulary chart, students will write
in their math journals what they learned about addition and summarize the engagement activity.
VI. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS (CONTENT, INSTRUCTION, and
PRACTICE):
Visual aids
Hands on activities
Working in pairs: Students who are advanced learners are paired with ELL students.
Questioning
Repeat questions for ELL students
Hear students response
Manipulative
VII. HOMEWORK (IF APPROPRIATE): No homework assigned.
