Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Create representations of the quantities and the actions in the situations using physical, pictorial, or symbolic representations.
  • Explain the representations of the quantities and actions in the situations using physical, pictorial, or symbolic representations.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Expression
  • Equation
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • how to represent addition and subtraction using models, pictures or symbolic representations.
  • how to explain representations of quantities.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Represent quantities and operations physically, pictorially, or symbolically.
  • Use informational and mathematical language to communicate the connections among addition and subtraction.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • both putting together and adding to can be viewed as addition.
  • both taking apart and taking from can be viewed as subtraction.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.K.8.1: Define addition as combining groups of objects.
M.K.8.2: Define subtraction as separating groups of objects.
M.K.8.3: Represent numbers with objects or drawings.
M.K.8.4: Separate sets with nine or fewer objects.
M.K.8.5: Combine objects to form sets up to nine.

Prior Knowledge Skills:
  • Notice same/different and some/all.
  • Subtract one from a set of objects (up to 10 objects).
  • Add one to a set of objects (up to 10 objects).
  • Given a group of objects (ten or less), divide the group into smaller groups in various ways.
  • Given small groups of objects, create larger groups by combining the small groups.
  • Take away objects from a large group to create two smaller groups.
  • Put together two small groups of objects to create a larger group.
  • Establish one-to-one correspondence between numbers and objects when given a picture a drawing or objects.
  • Rote count to ten.
  • Enjoy playing with all kinds of objects.
  • Point to matching or similar objects.
Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
AAS Standard:
M.AAS.K.8 Demonstrate an understanding of addition as "putting together" or subtraction as "taking from" in everyday activities, limited to 5 objects.
Learning Objectives:

I can represent addition and subtraction up to ten by using verbal expressions and symbols to represent my thinking.
  Strategies, Preparations and Variations  
Phase:
Before/Engage
Activity:

The teacher will display the slideshow How Many More to Make Ten?. The students will view each image and quickly decide how many more of the displayed object is needed to make a quantity of ten. 

 

The teacher will say: "In this activity, you will look at some pictures. In each picture, there is a number represented by objects. Look at those objects and decide how many more are needed to make ten. You will show me your answer by quietly holding up the number of fingers to represent your answer or raise your hand to tell me your answer in words."

Example: Slide two is a picture of five fingers. The teacher will say, "How many more fingers are needed to show ten? Show me your answer by quietly holding up the number of fingers to represent your answer or raise your hand to tell me your answer in words."
Assessment Strategies:

Teachers will observe student responses to determine student understanding of the concept and skill. You can use the following guidelines to ensure students meet the learning objective.

Check that the student:

  1. can recognize that numbers can be shown in many ways.

  2. can use a strategy to add up to ten.

  3. can count on, rather than counting each object.

  4. can represent their answer with a symbol or verbally.
Advanced Preparation:

The teacher will need a projector and computer to show the Google slideshow.
Variation Tips (optional):

The teacher can expand on these images as students' understanding of addition and subtraction deepens. Instead of how many more objects are needed for ten, the teacher can use larger total quantities such as 15 or 20.
Notes or Recommendations (optional):

This activity can be used with the following during and after activities:
