Key Learning Area: Maths
Topic/focus: Number and Place Value Representing Addition (2)
Pre-planning considerations
Topic analysis
Students have previously described addition situations and modelled addition experiences. In this lesson they will represent and
justify addition situations in various ways.
Learner considerations
Slayter has been away this week and had not experienced the various contexts in which addition has been explained and
represented. He will need one-one catch up with Michelle so he understands combining collections, joining to find how many
altogether and adding means getting bigger. By catching him up quickly he will not be at a disadvantage when joining in the
activities. Watch 1-1 correspondence when Paddy and Kendall are counting. Watch Ben for understandings of joining together
and altogether.
Literacy considerations
Students will understand and use maths specific language when describing addition representations:
add, makes, equals, and, more, total, altogether, sum, addition, combine, plus, join
Begin on carpet area between story chair and IWB as necessary. Finish/consolidate lesson at desks working on representing
addition situations.
Seating
Begin lesson with reminder of classroom rules, hands up, active listening. Discuss expectations and rewards for appropriate
behaviour.
Watch for off-task behaviour during long sessions and change up the pace of lesson if necessary. Use name chart more often for
positive behaviour, e.g sitting up waiting nicely etc.
Outcomes

Beginning
Introduce the lesson
Play a dice game
Explain to students how to play this dice game:
You need two players. Each player rolls one dice each.
Players look at the number on their dice and call out, as
quickly as they can, more, less or equal, depending on
whether the number shown on their dice is more than, less
than or the same as the other players dice.
Repeat for 10 rolls of the dice.
Middle
Explain to students that they are going to make groups of
counters on the whiteboard and talk about the addition.
Repeat the above activity twice. In the first game, say stop
when students have seven counters on the board; in the
next game, say stop when they have nine counters on
the board.
Ask students to describe what they see on the board (for
example, I can see seven red counters and two blue
counters. That makes nine counters.)
Explain to students that we use words such as and or add
when we join two groups together.
Extension Activity
