Lesson Title: Final Unit Review- Mixed Addition and Subtraction Problems
Esther Kim
Context
This school includes Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) and Co-Taught, Full Inclusion classrooms
from grades 2-8. Roughly 90% of the students are Hispanic, 66% are identified as an EL and 85%
of all students speak a language other than English as their first language in this school. In this
classroom, all students are Spanish speakers with one Portuguese speaker.
This lesson is designed as a whole group instruction for students in an SEI classroom. In this
classroom, most of the students’ ELD proficiency is a level 4 or 5, with the exception of two
level 3 students and one level 1 student.
The whole class has been learning various strategies including the number line, base-10 blocks,
partial sums, and ballpark estimate in order to figure out one, two, and three digit addition and
subtraction problems. These problems include regrouping and non-regrouping, as well as
figuring out addition or subtraction number sentences based on story problems. This lesson
will be an end of the unit review featuring mixed equations and story problems from both
addition and subtraction.
Rationale
Addition and Subtraction is an essential concept to learn and develop for students to prepare
them for four-digit numbers, multiplication, and future advanced concepts in math. This builds
upon their foundational skills in math; Deciphering the context and story problems is important
to understand the meaning in order to make appropriate judgements of addition or subtraction
according to each question.

13. Read the story problem 2: Gabrielle has some apple pies in her kitchen. Carlos takes 156
pies from the kitchen. She now only has 417 pies left in the kitchen. How many pies did
Gabrielle have in the beginning?
14. Ask, “What is the number sentence we can create from this story problem?”
a) ?-156=417
How did you get this equation?
Are there any other equations that you can make with these numbers?
b) ?=417+156
c) ?-417=156
d) ?=156+417
7. How can we figure out these different equations? Students should answer: turnaround
rule or triangle.
8. Draw the triangle, “what number do you think goes at the top?, the corner?,”
9. So what equation should I use to solve the missing number? (2)
10. Use 10 base blocks to solve the answer. Ask a student to come up and draw the blocks;
500 + 60 + 13 ones. Can we trade anything? -> Yes, there’s 13 ones so we can trade 10 ones for
1 tens block.
11. Cross off 10 ones, add 1 ten block. 500 + 70 + 3=573 pies
Closing
12. Have a few students go back to their seats and work on their worksheet. Have the students
who seem to be struggling or making mistakes stay on the rug and work on 1-2 more problems.
This will include 1 story problem and 1 equation, both with regrouping.
ex 1) 843-467=
ex 2) Julie had 762 sour gummies. She gave 493 gummies to her friend Chloe. How many
gummies does Julie have now?
Assessment
Students will be informatively assessed in their response to the questions throughout th lesson
which will serve to test their understanding of the content. The formative assessment will
include the students’ work on their worksheet in which they will work on independently. These
sheets will be collected and graded.
Extensions
Subsequent lessons will include more complex story problems that include multiple steps.
For example: There were 413 apples in the field. Sally took 300 apples from the field but went
back later and returned 249 apples. How many apples are in the field now? How many apples
does Sally have?
