Subject/Grade: 2/3 Math Lesson/Date: November 18th Time: 1 hour

Stage 1: Desired Results

Lesson In this lesson students will look at different strategies they can use to solve addition problems.
Overview: Students will start by looking at ways to solve simpler problems using strategies like counting
on fingers or drawing pictures. Students will then learn about 6 different addition strategies
which they can look back at and use to solve the problems that will be given to them on a
worksheet.
GOs: Students will: develop a number sense
SOs:  Students will: Students will: Demonstrate an understanding of addition (limited to 1-
and 2-digit numerals) with answers to 100 and the corresponding subtraction by:
- creating and solving problems that involve addition and subtraction (SLO 1
from grade 2 POS)
Learning Students will:
Objectives  Review simpler strategies to solve easier addition problems
 Demonstrate an understanding of addition strategies that can help them single digit
numbers
 Demonstrate an understanding of how using addition strategies can help them solve the
problem faster
 Demonstrate an understanding of how we can use addition strategies to solve double
digit numbers

11:15- Review of Previous Concepts/New Learning:
11:20  Last class we looked at using addition in everyday life, now we’re going
to look at some strategies we can use to help us solve addition problems.
 Go over Anchor sheet first to review the previous days lesson on
Addition

 Ask students to use different colours like you are when copying down any student to
the strategies look back at and
use for addition
problems. The
last 3 addition
problems are
more difficult to
use and should
give students a
challenge.
11:42- Transition: Have students keep their addition strategies on their desks and
11:45 handout addition worksheets
11:45- Learning Activity 2: Answering Addition Problems Differentiation:
12:05  Have students go through the worksheet and answer the addition Students have
questions. Remind them that they can look at their strategy book for their workbooks
help. beside them
 Let them know that it’s okay to not use a strategy, or to use something while trying to
different, or a mix of two strategies answer the
equations so
that they can
easily remember
and practice the
strategies
12:05- Transition: Have the worksheet projected on smartboard
12:07
12:07- Learning Activity 3: Answering our problems as a class
12:15  With the worksheet on the board ask students how they got their answers
to certain strategies and what was the strategy (if any) that they used to
get there
 Note: Depending on how the lesson goes there may not be time for this,
or there may only be time to look at a few questions
Transition: have everyone put away their workbook and worksheet into their
blue math duotang
Consolidation:
Review of Key Concepts/Point to Next Class:
 Remind students that they can use their additions strategy notebook
whenever they want to, it wasn’t just for today’s class.
 Explain that next class you’ll be looking at subtraction strategies
