Objectives Materials Needed
Students will learn to incorporate
their knowledge of base ten blocks Base ten block sets (students)
into addition problems. Magnetic base ten block set (teacher)
Students will learn how to model
addition problems in correct place
values.
Final thought: I can model and add
using base ten blocks.
Information
Making connections with the
students prior knowledge of base
ten blocks and addition.
Reviewing the students
understanding on base ten blocks
and the place value they hold.
Reviewing the students
understanding on adding numbers to
incorporate this into the lesson.
I do - I will begin by showing two
examples on the board with base ten
blocks and how to correctly add
them together.
We do- As a class we will work
through two more examples on the
board to further our understanding.
You do- The students will now be
paired for independent practice on
base ten addition numbers given to
their group.
