Mathematics Lesson

Common Core Standards:

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. This will be seen in
subtraction and will only be within 20.

1.OA.B.4: Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship

between addition and subtraction.

1.OA.C.5: Add and subtract within 20

Student Objectives:
I can attend to precision. (SMP)
I can subtract within 20.
I can use appropriate models to help me solve math problems. (SMP)
I can state and use strategies for solving addition problems.
I can use the correct model to subtract within 20.

Lesson Introduction/Overview:
The lesson will begin with Mrs. Lanenga going over a review worksheet on
chapter 4.3 Mr. Wright will begin section 4.4 once both teachers have checked
students papers for correctness and completeness.

Student Misconceptions:
The lesson has students counting up to ten then placing extra counters in another
ten frame. This ask may prove difficult to students because they may think that
they are adding. Students may think the answer is found in the other ten frame
(ie. 15-9, count 9 up one to 10 place the 5 other counters into the ten frame, and
think that 15-9 = 5). Students may struggle with subtracting from double digit
numbers.
Guided Practice:
The lesson will begin on page 229 with Mr. Wright demonstrating how to do the
subtraction sentence 15-9. In this model Mr. Wright will use 2 ten frames and
counters with the students. He will fill up the first ten frame with yellow counters
and then place counters in the next ten frame until they are all gone. He will then
count how many yellow counters there are to find the difference of 15-9. During
this problem Mr. Wright will also show students how to “count up” in a
subtraction sentence. He will start with the smallest number 9 and count with his
fingers up to 15. Their will be 6 fingers displayed so Mr. Wright knows that 15-
9=6. Mr. Wright will show how the ten frames and count up methods are
related. Both the ten frame method and “count up” method will be used for the
next two problems. Mr. Wright will complete problems 5 and 7 with the
students. He will give instructions to the students on how to complete problems
1-4, 7, and 8.

Individual Practice:
Students will be allowed to complete problems 1-4, 7, and 8.

Check For Understanding:

Mr. Wright will have to check to see that students are using both the count up
method and the ten frames method to complete the problems. The ten frame
method may prove difficult to students, thus Mr. Wright will have to make sure
that students using different counters when completing the problems.

Lesson Closure:
The lesson will conclude with Mr. Wright and Mrs. Lanenga checking over student
work for correct answers and completeness.
