Activity Plan

1. Warm-up/Review/Connections:
Students will be at the carpet and move to a video that practices counting to 100 by 1s.

2. Introduction to Content/Explanation:
Students will sit on their spots at the carpet, and I will ask the students questions about addition and subtraction.
• When adding numbers together, do the numbers get bigger or smaller?
• When subtracting numbers from one another, do the numbers get bigger or smaller?
• What is the answer to an addition problem?
• What is the answer to a subtraction math problem?

3. Presentation/Model the Learning Process:
• I will use the smartboard to demonstrate how to play the Dice Addition and Subtraction Game.
o When back at their seats, students will be in pairs.
o Each person will role the die.
o During addition: students will add the two numbers together
o During subtraction: students will subtraction the two numbers
o Whichever partner has the highest number gets a counter
o When one partner gets to 10 counters, they win!
• I will begin with addition and then demonstrate subtraction also.

4. Scaffolded/Guided Concrete Practice (May include collaborative work or discussion with peers):
I will have two students come to the smartboard and play a few rounds to make sure that they understand the concept
of the game. I will repeat this when I explain the subtraction version of the game.

5. Independent Concrete Practice/Application:
Students will transition back to their seats, gather their supplies and begin playing the addition version of the game.
After 8-10 minutes has passed, I will get the students’ attention and direct them to the subtraction version.

6. Assessment:
While the students are playing the game, I will be walking around monitoring and assessing students using a checklist.
This checklist will show whether or not the student understands the content of the lesson and concept of what is
happening in the game.
7. Wrap-up/Concluding Activity: Students will put their materials in the center of the table, and put their hand on their
head when they are finished doing so. I will then review what was learned throughout the lesson. I will again ask the
questions that I asked at the beginning of the lesson, making sure each of them can be answered correctly.
• When adding numbers together, do the numbers get bigger or smaller?
• When subtracting numbers from one another, do the numbers get bigger or smaller?
• What is the answer to an addition problem?
• What is the answer to a subtraction math problem?
