Missing Addends-Lesson 8

Missing Addends
First Grade

Math

60 Minutes

Overview:
In this lesson students will relate real life situations to solving equations with missing addends.
Standards:
Math:

1.OA.1: Represent and solve word problems involving addition and subtraction

Technology:

ISTE4: Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making

Objectives:
TSWBAT solve math problems with missing addends with at least an 80% accuracy rate.
Information:
Students have spent several weeks this year learning how to add and subtract using part, part,
whole charts, number bonds, and word problems. They have also spent a great deal of time
learning about fact families.
Opening Activity: (15 minutes)
Instructional Methods: Notes and Board Activity

I have a job chart for my students, so please ask my Tech Specialist to turn on the
projector and computer. Then, they should open up the file on the desktop labeled
Daily Calendar while the students take out their calendar notebooks.

Note: The students should have completed their calendar notebooks first thing in the
morning for entry task. Go through each page of the calendar file with my Daily
News Kid using the projector (calendar, days of the week, weather, place value,
telling time, etc.) as the students check the work they completed in their notebooks.

When you get to the Number of the Day question, make sure to spend time on the
number bond section so that students can review adding and subtracting.

The last page of the file will be our Question of the Day. For this question have the
students share their answers and how they solved the question. Students may have
different answers and that is fine as long as they can support their answers. After you
have finished, the Tech Specialist can exit out of the Notebook file and the students
can put away their calendar notebooks.

Ask students to come to the carpet, grab a whiteboard and sit in their assigned seats.

Main Lesson: (30 minutes)

Open up the SMART board file called Missing Addends when you get to page two,
discuss different scenarios beyond the ones listed being sure to convey the importance
of todays lesson.

On page three choose a student to come up and read each line and click on a star.

When you get to page four and five, spend a great deal of time reviewing how to
find a missing part when using the part, part, whole box. Do several examples on the
board while the students are using their white boards to mimic you and solve.

Open up page six. When you get to this page, discuss the problem. There are 5
frogs on the screen. We can only see three of the frogs, so how do we know how
many are inside of the cup? Give the students time to suggest ways to solve the
problem with a partner sitting next to them. After they have had a chance to figure
out a strategy to solving the problem, have the students share their strategy with the
class. After several students have shared, practice solving the problem with the
students guiding them with the proper steps. After solving the problem, call a student
up to the board to slide the cup to reveal the answer.

On page seven, have the students solve the problem with their white boards and then
share their answers with a partner. After solving the problem, call a student up to the
board to slide the cup to reveal the answer.

On page eight, discuss the equation that is written at the bottom. Explain to the
students how this relates to the problems on the previous pages. Go back to the last
two pages and call a student up to the board to write an equation with a missing
addend to match the situation. Then, have the students work with their white boards
and write the correct equation. After solving the problem, call a student up to the
board to slide the cup to reveal the answer.

Have the students solve the equation on page nine twelve the same way. If the
students seem to have difficulties, continue on with other examples. If not, have them
return to their seats and put away the white boards.

Concluding Activity: (15 minutes)

Pass out the worksheet to the students and have them complete the assignment
independently to check for understanding. When the students finish they may hand it
in and go to a math workstation for practice.

Diverse Needs:

Students who need preferred seating will be in the front based on the seating chart.

Students who need academic modifications may work with an aide to help them.

Some students may need the directions repeated.

Students who are academically challenged may use manipulatives to help them.

Alternative Activity:

If the SMART board file will not work in the classroom, you can go over the calendar
notebook orally while the students are working along with you inside of their notebooks.
Then for the assignment, you can use manipulatives and a cup to mimic the lesson if
the lesson will not work.

Assessment:
Students will complete the attached worksheet independently to use as a guide for
understanding. This is not the final assessment. It is only to be used to determine how the
class is processing the concept and their ability to apply what they have learned to solve the
problems.
Materials:
Opening Activity: Calendar File
Main Lesson: SMART board, Missing Addends file, mini white boards and markers
Concluding Activity: Assessment worksheet
