Lesson Plan

Teacher: Ms. Harris

Grade: Kindergarten
Content Area: Math 

1. Content and Standards:

PA State Standard:
 CC.2.2. K.A.1 Extend the concepts of putting together and taking apart to add and
subtract within 10 (M)
2. Prerequisites:
a. Students know to use manipulatives such as connecting cubes for math problems.
b. Students can write addition number sentences.
3. Essential Questions:
a. Can you solve addition story problems?
4. Materials and Equipment:
 Zoom Room
 White Board
 Dry Erase marker
 Counters
 Activity Sheet: 10-Frames
 PowerPoint
5. Instructional Objective:
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
a. solve addition word problems using pictures and objects
b. model addition problems with counters
c. write the total for an addition sentence
6. Instructional Procedures:
a. Before:
a) Greet students as they come in to the Zoom room.
b) Talk about the materials they need for today’s lesson. Tell the students
that they will need the white board and markers, counters, and Activity
Sheet: 10-Frames for this lesson.
c) Read the “I can” statements.
d) Go over classroom rules.
e) When you add numbers together, you can add them in any order. The total
stays the same. Try adding the same numbers in a different order. For this
 activity you will need your whiteboard, counters, and Activity Sheet: 10-
Frames. Gather your materials and then follow along with the video.
f) Have students move their cameras to show their work while they are
watching the video. The video shows modeling addition problems with
counters.
b. During:
a) Tell students to look at the groups of fish on the screen. Then look at the
number sentence. Ask: What are you going to do with the two groups of
fish? How do you know? Call out a student to answer.
b) Tell them that they can create an addition story for the fish in this problem
like this: There are 7 yellow fish swimming in the sea. 2 more blue fish
join them. Now how many fish are swimming in the sea?
c) Have them count the fish and complete the number sentence on their
whiteboards. Call out a student to say the number sentence. Call out
another student to explain the number sentence.
d) Tell them to listen to the addition story for the fish again. There are 7
yellow fish swimming in the sea. 2 more blue fish join them. Now how
many fish are swimming in the sea? Have them point to the picture with
one finger. Point to the matching number sentence with their other finger.
e) Have them turn their Instruction Book page 107. Model the first one. Have
them compare each picture to the addition sentence, then count and write
the total. Call out students to answer and write the totals on the screen.
f) Have them compare the two problems about the rabbits on the screen.
5+5=10 and 6+4=10. Ask: What is the same? What is different? Call out
students to answer.
g) Call out learning coaches. Tell them that students are trying this new
activity called Classkick where they can work on some more addition
activities. Provide the link in the chat box so they can help students put the
website up. Show the screen what it will look like when they open up the
link. Students will put their names and click go.
h) While they are working on Classkick, I can still see them. If they need to
ask questions, they can press the space bar and hold it to speak.
i) Open up the ClassKick to see students’ work and offer help for students
that need support.
c. After:
a) Have students exit out of ClassKick when they are done.
b) Tell them good-bye if they want to head out or they can stay for check in.
7. Assessment:
a. Summarizing Strategy: Student's ability to write a number sentence to match an
addition story problem (Formative) Student's ability to write the total for an addition
number sentence (Formative) Classkick
 b. Summarizing Follow-Up (Student Independent Practice): Students will complete
ClassKick

8. Differentiated Instruction: I will be modeling and use repetition when needed to meet
the needs of the challenged learners during the lesson. Learning coaches are present
during the lesson and they will help out throughout the lesson to help students. Thumbs
up or thumbs down, raise your hands, chat box, write in their whiteboards, show with
their fingers, etc. are used for various learning styles. They have opportunities to speak
when they raise their hands. Students are to use manipulatives such as connecting cubes,
counters, fingers, or drawings for their math problems.
