Relate Place Value (base 10 block) addition to standard algorithm addition - Lesson for Grade 1, Chapter - Addition and Subtraction - less than 20
In this lesson titled "Relate Place Value (base 10 block) addition to standard algorithm addition," Grade 1 students will delve into the foundational concepts of addition and subtraction within the numerical range of 20, under the unit "Foundations in Operations Within 100." Through engaging activities such as "Adding with Base Ten Blocks Worksheet," "Representing Addition with Base 10 Blocks Worksheet," "Addition Equations With Base 10 Blocks Worksheet," and "Find Sums and Match Equations Using Base Ten Blocks," students will explore the tangible method of using base ten blocks to understand and perform addition.
By learning to visually represent and solve addition problems with base ten blocks, students will grasp the crucial concept of place value, which is fundamental in mathematics. This tactile approach makes abstract numerical concepts concrete, facilitating a deeper understanding of how numbers work together in addition. Moreover, this lesson serves as a bridge to the more abstract standard algorithm of addition, preparing students for future mathematical concepts. Understanding place value and its application in addition is essential not only for mathematics but for real-life problem-solving and critical thinking skills. This foundational knowledge lays the groundwork for future success in mathematics and beyond.
