Lesson plan

Grade: 2 (35 Minutes)

Maths: Addition
Key Term: Addition
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to add different numbers and things and solve other
addition problem.
Materials and Preparation Av-Aids
 Black Board,Chalk,Duster
 Charts
 Flash cards
Previous knowledge (5 Minutes for this and above)
What do you know about addition?
How to add numbers? Etc
Announcement of topic/Introduction (10 minutes)
 I will announce the topic “Addition”
The action or process of adding something to something else.
An addition sentence is a number sentence or simply an equation used to express addition.
For example 2 + 3 = 5 is an addition sentence.
Then
 Call the students together as a group.
 Ask them if they know how to add.
 Take responses by raised hands.
 Show the students two manipulative.
 Ask a student to add the two manipulative.
 Take responses by raised hands.
 Reiterate to the students one plus one equals two.
 Write the equation 1 + 1 = 2 on the whiteboard.
 Inform students that today they will learn to add
Explicit Instruction/Teacher Activity/Method (15 minutes)

1. Write 1 + 1 on the blackboard. Ask students if they know what this means. Put one pencil
in one hand, and one pencil in your other hand. Show students that this means one
(pencil) and one (pencil) together equal two pencils. Bring your hands together to
reinforce the concept.

Draw two flowers on the board. Write down a plus sign followed by three more flowers. Say
aloud, “Two flowers together with three flowers make what?” The students should be able to
count and answer five flowers. Then, writ each student a bag of cereal and a piece of paper.
Together, do the following problems and say them like this (adjust as you see fit, depending on
other vocabulary words you use in the math classroom): Allow the students to eat some of their
cereal as soon as they write down the correct equation. Continue with problems such as these
until the students feel comfortable with addition.

1. Say "4 pieces together with 1 piece is 5." Write 4 + 1 = 5 and ask the students to write it
down too.

2. Say "6 pieces together with 2 pieces is 8." Write 6 + 2 = 8 or the board and ask the
students to write it down.

3. Say "3 pieces together with 6 pieces is 9." Write 3 + 6 = 9 and ask the students to write it
down.

2. down 2 + 3 = 5 to show how to record equations like this.

Evaluation/Home Work: (5 minutes)

o For evaluation I write different addition questions on board and ask them to them add
those written questions

o For Home work I ask them write 5 questions of addition with solution
