Brief Summary of Unit (including curricular context and unit goals):

In this unit, students will learn that addition means to add two parts together to get a whole
number. Students will learn various strategies on how to solve addition problems. The students will
become familiar with addition number sentences presented in a variety of ways, such as with pictures,
horizontally, vertically, and sentences. The students will be able to identify all of the necessary
components for an addition number sentence, such as addends, plus sign, equal sign, and sum. The
students will be able to create their own addition number sentences in various formats.
Also in this unit, students will complete an addition booklet to show that they can solve
addition problem sentences when given scenarios in written format. They will also show that
they can recognize different fact families. Also, the students will complete an addition pennant
banner to show that they can create a variety of addition number sentences. Along with these
projects, the students will be given a mid-chapter assessment, various worksheets, and time to
complete their math workbooks to show further understanding of addition.
