/ *MP1: Make sense of the problem and persevere in solving it! *MP8: Find a strategy to help solve the problem. Directions: Use a number line to model solving addition facts.
1.
5+3=
State the objective: Today, I will use a number line to add.
Explain that the numbers increase when moving right on a number line.
Identify 5 as the first addend and find it on the number line.
Identify 3 as the second addend.
Model how to move from 5, counting aloud 3 times, until reaching the sum of 8.
2.
9+4=
Restate the objective: Today, I will use a number line to add.
Explain that the numbers increase when moving right on a number line.
Identify 9 as the first addend and find it on the number line.
Identify 4 as the second addend.
Model how to move from 9, counting aloud 4 times, until reaching the sum of 13.
*MP6: How do you know your answers are correct/reasonable?
Recap today’s lesson with one or more of the following MP questions: MP1: What strategies were used to solve the problem? MP2: What is a real life scenario you could apply? MP6: How can you use math vocabulary in your explanation?
