Jumping into Addition

Jumping into Addition

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to perform simple addition using the jump strategy.

Explain to the students what they will be able to do by the end of the lesson.

What do you already know about addition?

What is Addition?

Addition is a mathematical operation that combines two or more numbers to find the total.

Introduce the concept of addition and its purpose.

The Jump Strategy

The jump strategy is a method of adding numbers by making jumps on a number line.

Explain the jump strategy and its significance in solving addition problems.

Example with Number Line

Let's solve the addition problem: 3 + 2 using the jump strategy.

Draw a number line on the board and demonstrate how to solve the problem step by step.

Step 1: Starting Number

Start at the first number, which is 3.

Guide the students to identify the starting point on the number line.

Step 2: Jumping

Make a jump of 2 units to the right.

Demonstrate how to visually represent the jump on the number line.

Step 3: Ending Number

The ending number is 5.

Help the students understand how to determine the sum based on the final position on the number line.

Practice Time!

Solve the following addition problems using the jump strategy:

Provide a set of addition problems for the students to practice using the jump strategy.

Wrap-Up

Congratulations, you've learned how to do simple addition using the jump strategy!

Review the key points of the lesson and acknowledge the students' progress.

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.
