Introduce the learning objective to the class and explain the importance of these skills in daily life.

What do you already know about adding and subtracting?

Addition

Addition is the process of finding the total of two or more numbers.

Demonstrate examples of addition problems and review the steps involved.

Addition Example

2 + 3 = 5

Use an interactive element to engage the students and have them solve this addition problem.

Subtraction

Subtraction is the process of finding the difference between two numbers.

Demonstrate examples of subtraction problems and review the steps involved.

Subtraction Example

5 - 3 = 2

Use an interactive element to engage the students and have them solve this subtraction problem.

Addition and Subtraction

Addition and subtraction can be used together to solve more complex problems.

Provide examples of problems that require both addition and subtraction skills to solve.

Addition and Subtraction Example

10 - 5 + 3 = 8

Use an interactive element to engage the students and have them solve this problem that requires both addition and subtraction.

Practice Time

It's time to practice your skills! Solve the addition and subtraction problems on the worksheet provided.

Provide the students with a worksheet containing a variety of addition and subtraction problems to solve independently or in pairs.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
