Lesson Title: Adding and Subtracting Numbers Grade Level: Second Grade Assessment: I will assess the students

by collecting their papers at the end of the activity. I will check to see if each student has at least three addition and subtraction problems and if they wrote at least three of them into word problems. This will be able to show me which students understand the concept of addition and subtraction and which students are struggling. Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.B.5: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. CCSS.Math.Content.2.OA.B.2: Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2.1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. Vocabulary: add, sum, subtract, minus, total Objectives: Students will create at least three addition problems using two or three digit numbers with classmates. Students will create at least three subtraction problems using two or three digit numbers with classmates. Students will write at least three word problems based on the addition and subtraction problems they created.

Essential Question(s): In what ways can I add and subtract two and three digit numbers? What strategies can I use when writing and solving word problems? Duration: 1 hour Materials: Envelopes Paper Pencils Computer Book, Sea Sums by Joy N. Hulme

Suggest Instructional Strategies: Modeling: The teacher will demonstrate to the students how to write a word problem and create addition or subtraction problems. Scaffolding: The teacher will show the students examples of addition, subtraction, and word problems. Then allow the students to try them on their own. Skill/Concept: The students will use their knowledge on addition and subtraction throughout the entire lesson. They will not need to know any information outside of the concept being taught. Instructional Procedure: Before: Prior to the lesson the teacher will ask the students how they experience addition and subtraction in real life. The teacher will show the students the video, Addition & Subtraction Rap Sample Clip off of YouTube. During: 1. The teacher will read the book, Sea Sums by: Joy N. Hulme 2. The teacher will create and solve addition and subtraction problems with the students and show them step-by-step how to create it into a word problem. 3. The teacher will hand out a piece of paper and a pencil to each student. 4. The teacher will explain to the students that they are going to meet with three different classmates. 5. When they are with each classmate they will create at least one addition and subtraction problem together using two or three digit numbers within 100. 6. The teacher will have all students move two more times once they are finished with the first classmate. 7. Remind the students that when they are finished meeting with all three classmates they should have at least three addition and at least three subtraction problems on their piece of paper. 8. Once they each have all the problems they need they can go back to their seats. 9. Then have them create at least three word problems for the six addition and subtraction problems. After: Once everyone has finished their word problems, as a class, review some of them together. Ask the students who would like to share their problem and their word problem that they created. The teacher can put up the problems on the overhead and show the students how he or she solved it. Accommodations/Modifications: If I had a student who needed extra time creating the addition, subtraction, and word problems I would sit down and help them when we had extra time at the end of the day.

If I had a student who thought this activity was too simple I would have them try adding and subtracting more difficult math problems. Lastly, if I had a student with a writing disability, I would have them verbally tell me examples and how they would solve it. I would solve the problems with that student to make sure that they comprehend the content being taught. References Hulme, Joy N., and Carol Schwartz. Sea sums. New York: Hyperion for Children, 1996.
