                   Use addition to solve related subtraction facts..

 

 

Instructional Strategies and Plan (include strategies used to help different types of learners, i.e. auditory, visual, etc):

Introduce lesson by using Ten Sly Piranhas by William Wise.  Read story and have children use the numbers of various animals in the story to create addition stories.  Follow this with a teacher-student discussion of the stories.  Use 2 color snap cubes to illustrate a few stories and relate them to a related subtraction fact.  (Example:  3 red cubes + 5 blue cubes = 8 cubes.  If I have 8 cubes and give Tom the 5 blue cubes, how many cubes will I have left.)  Show the cubes relate to the written form 3+5=8 and 8-5=3.  Explain that these two facts are related.  Discuss characteristics of their relation (They use the same 3 digits in each number sentence.  One is the inverse of the other).

Play a match game: Provide half of the class with addition number sentence cards and the other half with subtraction number sentence cards.

Allow students to move about the room looking for their “partner”.  Remind them that one addition fact will only match one subtraction fact.  When everyone is partnered, the partners will each state their facts and the class will determine if they are correctly matched. 

Use snap cubes to model use of addition to solve subtraction.  Ex.  10-6=?

Use 6 red cubes and add blues to make 10.  Show in written form 6+4=10. 

Say  “ If 6 +4 =10 then 10--6=?”  Students should be able to see that the answer is 4.

Work page 223 in workbook together.  Allow students to complete page 224 as independent practice or as partners.  Allow them to check their answers using a calculator.

At the end of class put the an subtraction problem on the board (Ex..  8-2=?) and have the students write the related addition fact on a scrap of paper.

 

 

Materials/Resources: Math text—Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley

Snap cubes ( 2 color) , workbook page 233-234, pencil, paper, teacher created materials.

 

 

Interdisciplinary Connections:

·         ReadingTen Sly Piranhas by William Wise, Dial Books for Young Readers, 1993.

 

 

·         Technology- Peter Rabbit’s Math Garden, (Matching, Level 3)

 

 

·         Other-

 

Assessment Strategies:

·         Formative Evaluation (checking student understanding during the lesson):

·          Question and Answers with instructor.   Teacher observation of class performance.  Partner discussion of learning.

 

 

·         Summative Evaluation (How will it be determined that the objectives were achieved?)

·         Written response—ticket out the door. 

 

 

Correctives/Remediation: Use of 2 color snap cubes in conjunction with a color-coded teacher made worksheet.

 

 

Extensions/Enrichment:

     Draw two groups of objects and generate math stories that illustrate an addition and a related subtraction fact.

     Use dice to generate numbers to use in the creation of related  addition and subtraction facts.

 

 

 

Special Accommodations (special needs students)

·          Description of the Special Needs student selected:  Student has severe hearing loss in both ears.  Language comprehension and reading skills are 4 years below grade level.  Student uses assistive listening device with no use  of sign language.  Her basic math computation is above grade level, but has great difficulty with word problems and abstract concepts.  She learns best through visual representation of information.

 

 

·          Accommodations to use with this student:  Keep background level noises to a minimum.  Teacher wears FM system during instruction.

·          Child has preferential seating and teacher needs to stay in close proximity and facing the student.  Teacher needs to speak clearly in normal tones.  Use visuals and modeling to assist the verbal instruction.  Provide a buddy system.   Provide pictorial instructions as necessary.

·          Our use of snap cubes provides visual support of verbal instruction.

·          The match game cards need to be large enough to be easily visible to   all students in the room.
