Word Problems with 3 Addends
Rationale
I am teaching this lesson because it is important for children to
understand how to solve word problems, especially because it is
a way to relate math to the real world. Adding and subtracting
with three numbers is more difficult than adding and subtracting
with two numbers, so this lesson will help them to apply what
they know about adding three numbers to real life situations.
This lesson is important because word problems help students
relate what they are learning to their lives, and adding with 3
numbers is helping them to increase their number sense.
Standards being conveyed:
o 1.OA.A.1: Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve
word problems involving situations of adding to, taking
from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with
unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings,
and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to
represent the problem.
o 1.OA.A.2: Solve word problems that call for addition of
three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to
20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a
symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Objective
My mathematical goal for this lesson is for children to have a
better understanding of adding with three numbers, and for them
to see how this type of math can be needed in real life. Also, I
want them to understand strategies for correctly solving word
problems.
As a result of this lesson children will be able to identify the
different parts of a word problem, decide how they must solve it,
and properly solve and find the correct answer.
Lesson Progression
Introduction
This lesson is for First Grade and is based on the standards listed
above for Grade 1, making it appropriate for the students.
This lesson will be introduced by reviewing how to solve word
problems using 3 addends. Ask students what they know about
solving word problems with 3 addends. Have them share what
they do when they are solving these word problems. Ask them
how word problems with 3 addends are different than word
problems with 2 addends. Do an example word problem and
solve as a group. Explain that 3 number word problems are
Some students really struggle with adding with 3 numbers, and they
might need extra help. I will take these students individually and
work with them, going through the steps of the process with them
to make it easier for them to solve the problems and understand
what they have learned.
