Unit Topic/ Theme: Math

Grade: 1st grade  

Lesson Top/ Theme: Counting 1-10/ Learning beginning concept of addition

Lesson Objectives: The students will be able to count how many items are in a picture and click on the proper number.

The students will be able to understand the beginning concept of addition.

Instructional Technique: Group work and Ending discussion

Instructional Materials: Guided worksheet and evaluation worksheet to have the students follow while playing on the website www.math-play.com/counting-to-ten-basketball-game.html  

Theoretical Perspective: The students are being taught to identify a number and how many items are in a picture because it will help them understand the beginning steps in learning simple addition.

Procedure: A. The teacher will show the game on an overhead projector and show the students an example on how to play the game. The teacher will then go over the the guided handout and evaluation handout that the students will be completing as they play on the website.   

B.The teacher will then divide the students into groups of two and give them a color red or blue. The teacher then will pass out the guided handout that shows numbers 1-10 with pictures counting out the numbers. The students will then move to the computers with the website already opened. The teacher will then pass out an evaluation sheet that has the pictures and numbers on it similar to the game, that the students will use while playing the game.The students will play two rounds of the game. The teacher will have the students go back to their seats. The teacher will then have a table with different items.

C. The teacher will begin the discussion by setting up two apples ask the children “How many apples do I have?” The students will answer the question. The teacher will then ask “If have 2 apples and if I add 1, how many will I have?” The students will then count the apples. The teacher will repeat this step adding one to each item 10 times.

Evaluation:A. The students will be able to count how many items are in a picture and click on the proper number.

If the students answer the questions on the handout correctly, then they will understand how to accurately look at a picture and be able to know the correct number.

The students will be able to learn the beginning concept of addition.

The students will be able to answer the questions the teacher is asking correctly.

B. A concern would be not having an even number to split the students into groups of two.
