A. Assume that you are a teacher teaching the concept of adding 2 + 3 to Grade 1 pupils. Write the steps on how
you are going to approach teaching the concept to ensure a better understanding of the task. Give your reasons
why.

Steps

1. Familiarize children with addition symbols.

2. Teach children the words that signify addition.

3. Use objects to demonstrate how addition works.

4. Group children and use their bodies as “human manipulative.”

5. Use flashcards to stimulate memorization.

Reasons:

1. Teach them the meaning of the symbols “+” and “=.” Then help them learn to write “number sentences.”
Ex. 3 + 2 = 5
2. Introduce terms such as “all together”, “put together”, “how many in all”, “total”, and “sum” that commonly
indicate a child will need to add two or more numbers.
3. Children respond well to visual tools that help them understand addition concepts.
4. Using their human body cal also help well for those pupils combine students and have them count themselves in
different configurations.
5. Students should recognize how numbers interact with each other memorization of basic mathematics facts will
provide a complementary foundation for moving on to more complicated arithmetic.
