Lesson Plan : Around the World - Sums of 5
Teacher Name: | Nicole Collins |
Grade: | Kindergarten |
Subject: | Math |
Topic: | Addition of 5. |
Content: | Math and adding with the number 5. |
Goals: | To help Special Education Students in K-3rd grade learn to add 5 to numbers 0-10. |
Objectives: | The students will be able to give the correct sums of 5 to numbers 0-10 on flashcards on site while playing the game Around the World to test their knowledge of the sums against each other in the form of a game. The students will also be making a set of flashcards with sums of 5 to numbers 0-10 to take home and practice with parent or adult. |
Materials: | Flashcards adding 3,4 and 5 to numbers 0-10. Packets of 11 blank flash or index cards and a pencil or marker. |
Introduction: | This is an activity that can be used with Regular Education Kindergarten and First Grade and (depending on the severity of disability)Special Education K-3rd grade.I will be building on the students prior knowledge to give correct sums of 3 and 4 to numbers 0-10 both on their own and on flashcards on sight as well as learn the correct sums of 5 to number 0-10 on sight. |
Development: | Teach the students the correct sums of 5 to numbers 0-10 and review the correct sums of 3 and 4 to numbers 1-10. |
Practice: | First the students will make their own set of flashcards with the correct sums of 5 to numbers 0-10. Then in small groups (5-10 students)the students will play Around the WOrld in a 1/2 or full circle using flashcards presenting addition problems of 5 to numbers 0-10. When students are feeling comfortable with their progress I will reintroduce addition problems of 3 and 4 to numbers 1-10 to the flash cards. They will also be able to take the flashcards that they made home to practice. |
Accommodations: | Depending on the degree of the severity of disabilities in the classroom, if getting up and playing Around the World over stimulates the students I would still have the students make their flashcards, but instead of playing Around the World, I would have then use beads, beans, small rocks etc... and have them add the items together on their desks under the flash cards. |
Checking For Understanding: | |
Closure: | Making addition a fun learning experience as well as getting them involved in the addition process. This is a good activity that can be used for Special Education and modified for students with more severe disabilites. |
