Changing the Grouping of Three or More Addends Helps Make Computation Easy

I. Learning Objectives Cognitive: Psychomotor: Affective: II. Learning Content Skill: Reference: Materials: Value: Showing that changing the grouping of 3 or more addends helps make computation easy BEC/PELC - I B. 1.7 flash cards, real objects, number cards 0 9, pins, activity card (half cartolina size), pictures of a toy store Active participation in-group activities Show that changing the grouping of three or more addends helps make computaion easy Make addition combinations with 2 or 3 addends Participate actively in class activities

III. Learning Experiences A. Preparatory Activities 1. Drill Addition sentences having sums up to 18 using flash cards in a game called Kangaroo Jump (see previous LG) 2. Review Addition of three 1-digit numbers in a game called Show Me. Pupils show their answers to the addition sentences using their number cards while teacher uses flash cards with addition sentences (sum 0 -18) 3. Motivation Play Number Kids Pin big number cards (0 -9) to 10 pupils.

Say: They are Number Kids. They will hel us in learning how to add addition sentences with three addends. B. Developmental Activities 1. Presentation a. Pupils choose three addends by calling the Number Kids. Example: Number Kid 4! Number Kid 5! Number Kid 6!

The three numbers called will come forward to the pupils. Introduce them as addends. Guide the pupils in finding the sum by putting together the two addends then add the sum to the last addend. (Enclose the first two kids, namely 4 and 5 with Hula Hoop or rope and place. Number Kid 6 a little bit away from the two). Show the number sentence on the board. (4 + 5) + 6 What is the sum? Using the same Number Kids, change the grouping of addends by putting the Hula Hoop or rope to the other group number kids. Show the number sentence on the board. 4 + (5 + 6) What is the sum? What happens to the sum after changing the grouping of three addends? Call 4 Number Kids. Write their corresponding numbers on the board as addends. Group the addends as in (3 + 2) + (4 + 5) = ? 5 + 9 = 14 and find the sum.

b. Call two pupils t go to the board. Find the sum of number sentences with three addends given. Pupil 1 will group the first two addends. Pupil 2 will group the last two addends.

Example:

Pupil 1 (3 + 5) + 6 8 + 6 = 14

Pupil 2 3 + (5 + 6) 3+ 11 = 14

c. Group the pupils into 5. Give each group an activity card with addition sentences. Have them find the sum by grouping the addends in these ways.

d. Pass it on! Call 3 groups of pupils with three numbers to go forward. Dictate the addition sentence. Pupil one will write the number sentence then pass it on to the next pupil to group the addends; then to the last pupil to find the sum. The first group who is able to follow the procedure and find the sum correctly wins the game. *Valuing: Why did group __ win? What made them win? (All the members participated actively). 2. Generalization How do we make computation of 3 or more addents easy? Grouping the addends hepls make compuation easy. Changing the grouping of addends does not affect the sum. Group the addends and find the sum. a. 3 + 6 + b. 7 c. 8 d. 9 e. 4 + 3 + + 4 + + 3 + + + 6 + + + + + 4 = 5 = 6 = 4 = 5 =

IV. Evaluation 1. Find the sum. a. b. c. d. e. 3 ( 5 ( 6 7 + + + + 4 + + + + ( 3 ) ( 4 2 ) 6 + + + + + + 2 = 4 2 = 4 ) = ) = ( 5 + 2 ) =

2. Make an addition sentence with 3 or more addends using the number of objects shown. Then find its sum.

V. Assignment Supply the missing addends and find the sum. a. b. c. ( 6 + 10 ( + 11 3 + 10 ) ) + + ) = + + 3 3 = 4 4 =

8 + 8 + ( 5
