10+ Facts

1. Students will begin the lesson on the carpet with a whiteboard and expo marker. The teacher will begin the lesson by having students do quick addition facts using numbers 1-10. The teacher will call out an equation (ex. 3+4=?) and students will write an answer on whiteboard and hold it in the air. Students should only be given about 5 seconds to do each one given. This is to build fluency.
2. The teacher will then display the following word problem on the board for students to answer.

There were 4 children on the swings, 8 children on the slide, and 6 children playing tag. How many children were there altogether? 
Students should be given 5-7 minutes to work this problem out on their whiteboards. The teacher should move around the room coaching students. Make sure students are given at least 1-2 minutes to discuss their thinking with a partner. After the time is up, the teacher should have a few students show how they worked the problem, showing that it could have been solved several ways to get the correct answer. (The teacher should then show students how to solve by creating the related 10+ fact and number bond.

3. The teacher should then give similar problems that are on the worksheet. To model how to solve the equations using 10+ facts. (2-3 Problems. Students should then be given on their own with a partner using this method.)
4. After this, students should be sent to their tables to complete the worksheet. Allow students 12-15 minutes to complete the worksheet independently. Then, have students bring their work to the carpet.
5. The teacher should give students a colored marker and go over the answers. If students did not get a problem right, they should circle it. At the end, if there are students who got answers wrong, the students should be given 5 or minutes to go back and rework the problems!

Differentiation: Begin working with 2 addends before moving to 3. Begin with single digit sums, then double digits.

Extension: Work with double digit addends. Work with multiple double digit addends, or even triple.

Students will be assessed through the group word problem and any other problems done as a whole. The teacher should have a checklist, making sure to keep up with students who understand the material and students who do not. Students will also be assessed based on whether they are able to complete the worksheet correctly.
