S: 13.
T: What is 8 + 5? Say the number sentence.
S: 8+5=13.
T: How many books do Peter and Willie have?
S: 13 books.
Repeat the process with the following suggested sequence: 8 + 3, 8 + 6, 4 + 8, 8 + 7, 8 + 8. Be sure to have
students make ten with 8, reinforcing the concept of commutativity for efficient problem solving. Write both
number sentences (8 + 6 = 14, 10 + 4 = 14) and a number sentence equating the equivalent expressions
(8 + 6 = 10 + 4).
Teacher Preparation:
• The MindUp Curriculum Teacher Manual, pg 108 “One World”
• Travel Photos - print so each group has one photo
• sticky notes
Prepare:
• Write the following on the board: I am happy. Be sure your face also shows happiness.
• Then expand the sentence to say: I am happy when I teach you. Be sure to continue showing a happy face.
• Ask students to make a happy face. Then ask them what makes them happy. Call on a few students.
• Remind them that their hippocampus, their memory saver, will help them think of a happy memory.
• Each of us is different. We have different memories and experiences. So what we said makes us happy
• can be the same or different. Remind students that perspective taking is when we see situations and events
• from another person’s viewpoint.
Facilitate:
• We need food, water, and air. To protect ourselves, we live in houses and wear clothes. We play and work.
• Today we will be traveling the world! You will select a picture of a place that looks different from where you live.
• Imagine living there.
◦ What would you eat?
◦ Where would you live?
◦ What would you wear?
◦ What would be different about living there and what would be the same?
• Distribute a photo and several sticky notes to partners or small groups. Have them examine and discuss the
• photo. Using the questions above have them write their ideas on the sticky note and attach to the photo.
Solidify:
• Bring class together and ask each group to share one new perspective they gained by looking at their photo.
• State as humans we all share the same basic needs - food, shelter, and so on. Our surroundings shape those
• things. To empathize with those who seem to have different lives begins with recognizing similarities and
• appreciating the differences.
• We all come from different backgrounds, and that adds to our individual specialness. We may be different,
• but we are all people. We all deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.
Minilesson:
“Opinionators!” [Students reply back with “Yes?”] “Wow! What great opinion stories you have! Today we are going to use all that we know
about opinion writing and put it all together in one writing booklet.” [Model how to transfer the information from the graphic organizer to writing
paper.]
“Boys and girls, as you write your opinion story onto your writing paper, be sure to pay close attention so you don’t forget anything.
Your opinion writing should have a hook, an opinion, three reasons, and a closure.”
[Send students off to write. After writing, students may work on illustrating their opinion story. Then, follow the share routine on Lesson 3].
Conferring:
Circulate around the room, conferring with students about their opinion stories.
