composing and decomposing the number as well as
representing it in number bonds, number sentences,
and with objects.

TOPIC LESSON #

Decompositions + Compositions 1

LESSON FOCUS AND GOALS

Day one focuses on introducing students to the concept of taking the number 8 apart and putting it back
together in a variety of ways. This will be done through the use of manipulatives to show students that there is
not one way to split the number 8 up but instead multiple different correct answers.

MATERIALS NEEDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Tape, counting cubes, number Students will be able to represent

bond mats decomposition and composition
2. Blank number sentence addition stories to 8 with
worksheets drawings and equations.

STRUCTURE / ACTIVITY

1. Students will open the lesson by practicing counting up and down starting from a
random number.
2. Following this, I will complete a demonstration where I have a dividing tape line. I will
dump out 8 counting cubes over the line, allowing them to fall on either side. After this
occurs, I will demonstrate for the students how to fill out the number bond and number
sentence for this problem.
3. We will continue practicing this using the GRR model, allowing student volunteers to
do the same thing while students complete it as well on their own personal number
bond mats.

ASSESSMENT

Students will complete a number bond/sentence worksheet using the

same math manipulatives and their own tape lines. This will be used
to grasp student understanding on decomposing the number 8.

TOPIC LESSON #

Solve Word Problems Up to 8 2

LESSON FOCUS AND GOALS

Day 2 will focus around building upon yesterday's concept of composing and decomposing
the number 8, but it will instead be completed through the use of word problems.

MATERIALS NEEDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Personal whiteboards Students will be able to add up to

2. Expo markers the number 8 using math word
3. Word problem worksheet problems.

STRUCTURE / ACTIVITY

1. This lesson will be conducted using direct instruction and the GRR. I will first model a
word problem and how I work through that problem to create a number bond and
number sentence.
2. From there student volunteers will take turns being the teacher to demonstrate their
knowledge on word problems, number bonds, and number sentences.
3. Students will work through the problems with the student volunteers on their own
personal white boards.

ASSESSMENT

Students will follow the same routine to work through word problems
on their white boards. These problems will be conducted
independently as a way to check for understanding.

TOPIC LESSON #

Put together to make 8 3

LESSON FOCUS AND GOALS

Day three focuses on allowing children to connect the knowledge of composing and decomposing numbers up
to 8 by practicing and applying the concepts to physical items. By the end of the lesson, students should
understand when you add two groups of items together, they became one.

MATERIALS NEEDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. 4 circles, 4 triangles per group Students will be able to solve put

2. Personal white boards together with word problems to 8
3. response papers using objects and drawings.

STRUCTURE / ACTIVITY

1. The teacher will pull out 3 triangles and 3 circles. I will then draw the shapes and our
number sentences. We will continue working through shape scenarios getting various
sentences to equal up to 6, 7, or 8.
2. Students will continue practicing on their personal white boards as the student
volunteers demonstrate their knowledge through the problems.
3. Students will then use their response papers and work independently to draw pictures
of word problems and then drawing the correlating word problems.

ASSESSMENT

The response papers will be used as a way to assess student learning

and ensure proper understanding. If there are any misconceptions,
they will be immediately addressed in hopes to advance to the next
lesson tomorrow.

TOPIC LESSON #

Solve Both Addends to 8 4

LESSON FOCUS AND GOALS

Day four will consist of students practicing creating number sentences up to 8 when given one addend. This
will allow students to recognize that there are a multitude of answers that work when adding up to a number.
Students should be able to solve addends and word problems by the end of the lesson.

MATERIALS NEEDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Large foam dice Students will be able to solve

2. Personal white board both addends in word problems
3. Expo marker in black, green, and to 8 to find addition patterns in
red number pairs.

STRUCTURE / ACTIVITY

1. I will tell students to listen to my silly story: The students were playing with 7 balls on
the playground. Some got muddy.
2. They will turn and talk to their partners about their ideas. They will draw it on their
white boards and color in some to show their partner. From there, students will make
different number sentences with their scenarios.
3. We will continue practicing similar scenarios but instead using the dice to determine
one addend until students have demonstrated a comfort with the material in order to
move on to independent practice.

ASSESSMENT

The students will complete scenarios asking them to pick the

addends for addition problems up to 8. Students will need to
demonstrate an understanding of the ability to use multiple pairings
to get the same correct answer.

TOPIC LESSON #

How many are left? 5

LESSON FOCUS AND GOALS

Day five's goal is to introduce students to the concept of taking away in numbers up to 8. By the end of the
lesson, students should understand the difference between adding and subtracting and be able to visually
demonstrate what subtracting means for the numbers.

MATERIALS NEEDED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Personal white board Students will be able to use

2. Response paper objects and drawings to find out
how many are left when given
word problems.

STRUCTURE / ACTIVITY

1. Using the 5 Little Monkeys song, students will make number scenarios by adding and
taking away monkeys. The teacher will independently demonstrate the process for 5
and 4 monkeys before releasing responsibility to students for 3-0. Once all have fallen
off, students will draw the scenario and do it again on their own.
2. Students will then be presented with number problems and be asked to draw and cross
out in order to signify subtraction.

ASSESSMENT

Students will use the response paper to draw out verbal word
problems in order to demonstrate understanding of taking items
away and the ability to answer the question of how many are left.
