numerical and visual examples)
Practice: have students take turns coming up to the marker board to give us the answer
to an addition or subtraction fact that is provided by the teacher
Activity:
Following our lesson, I will put the students into groups of three to play a short game of
Jeopardy on the Smartboard. Instead of having five categories, there will be three different
categories: addition, subtraction, and random. There are only three so that it is not too lengthy
of a game and students will not get bored.
