Adding it All Up
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to add a one-digit number to a two-digit number with regrouping.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Ask two volunteers to come to the front of the classroom.
- Give one student a two-digit number. Give the other student a one digit number. Instruct the students to use base-ten blocks to add their numbers together.
- Have the rest of the class use base-ten blocks to model the addition problem at their desks.
- Ask students to share some information. Great questions include: What is the sum of your addition problem? What strategies did you use to find the sum?
- Tell students that today we're going to add two-digit numbers.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
(10 minutes)- Write the following problem on the board: Tess raked 18 leaves on Monday. She raked 7 leaves on Friday. How many leaves did she rake in all?
- Ask students to read the problem aloud with you.
- Guide students in using base-ten blocks to show 7 and 18.
- Explain to students that when adding a two-digit number, add the ones first. Then add the tens.
- Ask students how many ones there are total.
- Show students how to make a group of 10 ones, by connecting ten cubes together. Instruct them to trade these ten blocks for 1 ten.
- Discuss the term regrouping. Define regrouping as the process of changing groups of ones into tens to make adding and subtracting easier.
- Once you've made a ten from the ones, count the number of ones that are leftover.
- Ask students how many tens and ones are there now.
- Have students write a number sentence to solve the problem.
- Repeat steps using two different numbers.
Guided Practice
(10 minutes)- Write the following problems on the board vertically, so place values are aligned:
- 27 + 7 , 33 + 8 , 19 + 3 , 24 + 7
- Give each student an index card or half-sheet of paper.
- Work through the steps together to complete the problems.
- Remind students that a number line can also be used to help add.
Independent working time
(15 minutes)- Have students complete the problems on the Addition worksheet independently.
Differentiation
Enrichment: Challenge advanced students to complete the problems without manipulatives.
Support: Encourage struggling students to continue using manipulatives to add or draw a picture to demonstrate how they can regroup.
Assessment
(5 minutes)- Tell students to turn their index card or half-sheet over, to complete a problem on the back.
- Ask them to find the sum for 17 + 6, and draw or write to explain how they found it.
Review and closing
(5 minutes)- Review effective strategies for adding one-digit and two-digit numbers, including the definition for regrouping.
