Welcome to Addition: Adding 5 – Greet the day and get ready for math – Today’s focus: Adding the number 5 – We’ll explore how to add 5 to other numbers – Understand how addition helps us – Addition combines groups of things quickly – Practice makes perfect with addition – We’ll do fun activities to learn adding 5 | This slide is designed to introduce first graders to the concept of addition, specifically focusing on adding the number 5. Start the class with a cheerful greeting to set a positive tone. Explain that the goal for today is to understand how to add 5 to different numbers. Emphasize that addition is a tool that helps us count things faster and more efficiently, which is a crucial skill in many aspects of life. Encourage the students by telling them that with practice, they will become great at addition. Plan to have a variety of engaging activities and examples that will help the students grasp the concept of adding 5. Make sure to include visual aids, physical objects, or interactive games to make the learning process enjoyable and memorable.

Learning to Add 5 – What is addition? – Putting together numbers to see how much there is – Adding means total count – Let’s add with examples – Example: 2 apples + 5 apples = 7 apples – Practice adding by 5 – Try: 5 + 5, 10 + 5, 3 + 5 | This slide introduces the concept of addition to first graders by explaining it as the process of combining two or more numbers to find a total. Use simple, relatable examples like adding apples to visually demonstrate the concept. Encourage the students to think of addition as a way of finding out ‘how many in total’. After explaining, engage the students with examples where they add 5 to other numbers. This will help them grasp the concept of addition by 5, which is a building block for their arithmetic skills. Make sure to use objects or fingers to count, as visual aids and physical movement can enhance understanding at this age.

Adding 5 to Numbers – Adding 5 means 5 more – If you have 2 candies and find 5 more, now you have 7! – Example with apples – Starting with 3 apples, add 5 more, and count to 8. – Let’s practice adding 5 – We’ll add 5 to numbers like 1, 2, 3, and see what we get! | This slide introduces the concept of addition by adding 5 to various numbers. Start by explaining that adding 5 means we are counting up 5 more from a given number. Use tangible examples like apples or candies to illustrate this point, as it helps first graders visualize the concept. After explaining with an example, encourage the students to practice with different numbers. You can use number lines, fingers, or counters to help them understand. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist and check for understanding as they practice. This activity will solidify their comprehension of basic addition by 5.

Adding 5 with Our Fingers! – Start with 2 fingers raised – Raise 5 fingers on the other hand – Count all the fingers together – How many fingers are there in total? This helps us understand addition visually and physically. | This slide is for a hands-on activity to help first graders practice adding 5 to a number using their fingers. It’s a tactile way to learn addition, making it more engaging for young students. Teachers should guide the students through the steps, ensuring they understand the concept of counting on from a number. After raising the appropriate number of fingers, students should count all their fingers to find the total, which in this case should be 7. This activity can be repeated with different numbers to solidify the concept of addition. Encourage students to use this method whenever they need to add 5 to a number up to 15.

Visualizing Addition with Objects – Use objects to learn addition – Start with 4 blocks, add 5 more – Example: 4 toy cars, add 5 more toy cars – Count all the blocks together – Now we have 4 + 5 blocks, let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 – See the addition result visually – Visual aids make learning addition fun and easy | This slide is aimed at helping first graders understand the concept of addition by using tangible objects such as blocks or counters. By starting with a small number of objects and adding more, students can physically see the process of addition and understand the concept of ‘adding 5’ in a concrete way. Encourage students to use objects from their surroundings to practice this concept. For example, they could use pencils, fruits, or even fingers to add 5 to a given number. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of basic addition.

Adding 5 Using a Number Line – Number lines aid in addition – Start at a number, jump right 5 steps – If we start at 2, we’ll jump to 3, 4, 5, 6, and land on 7 – Each jump represents adding 1 – Landing point equals the sum | This slide introduces first graders to the concept of using a number line as a visual aid for addition, specifically for adding 5 to any given number. Emphasize that a number line is a tool that helps us count and add by taking ‘jumps’ or ‘steps’ to the right. Each jump represents an increment of 1. When we add 5, we make 5 big jumps to the right from our starting number. The number we land on after the fifth jump is the sum of the original number and 5. During the class activity, provide students with a number line and have them practice starting at different numbers and taking 5 jumps to the right to find the sum. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of addition with the number line.

Let’s Practice Adding 5! – Try adding 5 on your own – We’ll solve the first problems together – Example: If we have 3, what’s 3 + 5? – Use fingers, objects, or a number line – Counting tools can help us add – Adding 5 is fun and easy! | This slide is designed to engage students in a hands-on activity to practice adding 5 to various numbers. Start by encouraging the students to attempt adding 5 to numbers on their own. Then, as a class, solve the first few problems together on the board to demonstrate the process. Remind students that they can use their fingers to count, group objects together, or use a number line as visual aids to help them understand the concept of addition. Emphasize that adding 5 is a simple and enjoyable skill to master. For the activity, prepare a set of problems with different starting numbers for the students to add 5 to. Monitor the class as they work, offering help and praise as needed.

Class Activity: Addition Relay – Let’s play Addition Relay! – Work in teams to solve problems – Add 5 to a number in turns – If your number is 3, what’s 3 plus 5? – Pass the baton to your teammate | This activity is designed to encourage teamwork and practice the concept of adding 5. Divide the class into small teams. Give each team a ‘baton’ which could be any classroom object. The first student in each team will start with a number, add 5 to it, and then pass the baton to the next team member who continues the sequence. This continues until the baton has gone through all team members. Teachers should prepare a set of starting numbers for each team and ensure that students understand they are adding 5 each time. Possible variations include using a timer to add a competitive element or having different starting numbers for each team to ensure a range of sums is practiced.

Fantastic Work on Adding 5! – Proud of your adding skills – Practice adding 5 at home – Try with toys or snacks to make it fun – Adding gets easier with practice – The more you practice, the better you’ll get! – Excited for our next numbers! | This slide is meant to congratulate the students on their hard work during the lesson on adding 5. It’s important to encourage them to continue practicing at home, perhaps by using physical objects like toys or snacks to make the learning process more engaging. Reinforce the idea that practice is essential to mastering addition. Let them know that their efforts are appreciated and that you’re looking forward to introducing them to adding other numbers in future lessons. This positive reinforcement helps build their confidence and excitement for learning more math.
