Learning to Add 7 – Addition combines numbers – Adding makes one big group – Let’s add with a story – We’ll use a story about 7 playful puppies – Practice adding up to 20 – Use fingers or objects to count | This slide introduces the concept of addition to first graders by explaining that addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to find a total. Emphasize that when we add, we are bringing groups together to see how many we have altogether. To make this concept engaging, introduce a story involving 7 playful puppies, which will be used as a basis for practice. Encourage the students to use their fingers or objects like counters to add numbers up to 20, reinforcing the concept of ‘adding 7’ in a tangible way. The story will help them visualize the addition process, and using physical objects will help them understand the concept of combining groups to find a total.

Adding 7 to 1: Counting Apples – Start with 1 apple – Find 7 more apples – How many apples in total? – Use objects or fingers to count from 1 to 8 – Let’s count all together! – Practice counting with the class | This slide is designed to introduce first-grade students to the concept of addition by using a relatable scenario involving apples. Start by presenting the scenario where the student has one apple and finds seven more, prompting them to think about the total number of apples. Encourage the students to visualize the apples and use physical objects or their fingers to count from one to eight, reinforcing the concept of ‘adding 7’. This interactive counting exercise will help solidify their understanding of basic addition. Make sure to engage with the students by asking them to count out loud together and affirm their counting with positive reinforcement.

Adding 7 to 2: Counting Balloons – Start with 2 balloons – Add 7 more balloons – Imagine getting 7 birthday balloons – Count all the balloons together – Use your fingers or objects to count from 2 to 9 – Discover the total number of balloons – 2 balloons plus 7 more makes 9 balloons in total | This slide is designed to help first graders understand the concept of addition by using a relatable scenario of receiving balloons. Start by establishing the initial number of balloons, then visually or conceptually add 7 more balloons to the existing 2. Encourage the students to count aloud from 2 up to 9, reinforcing the addition of 7. Use physical props like actual balloons or counters if possible to make the activity interactive and engaging. The goal is to help students visualize the addition process and arrive at the correct total, understanding that adding 7 to any number increases the count by 7 steps.

Adding 7 to Numbers – Start with 3 ducks in a pond – 7 more ducks join them – How many ducks are swimming? – Use fingers or objects to count 7 more – Counting all ducks together – Add 3 + 7 to find the total | This slide introduces the concept of addition by combining two groups of objects. Start by visualizing a scenario where 3 ducks are already in a pond and then 7 more ducks come to swim. Ask the students how many ducks are swimming now to engage them in the process of counting on from 3. Encourage them to use their fingers or physical objects to count 7 more from 3. This helps to solidify the concept of addition as combining two sets. After the counting activity, guide them to the mathematical expression 3 + 7 and demonstrate how to arrive at the total number of ducks, which is 10. Reinforce the idea that addition is about finding out how many items there are altogether when two groups are combined.

Remember to keep the atmosphere fun and supportive to foster a love for math.

Adding 7 to Numbers – Use a number line to add 7 – Starting at any number, count 7 steps to the right – Jump 7 steps forward – Each jump represents adding 1; we make 7 jumps – Observe how numbers increase – Adding 7 makes our starting number larger every time – Practice with different numbers | This slide introduces the concept of addition by using a number line to add 7 to various numbers. It’s a visual and interactive way for first graders to understand how addition works. Start by showing a number line and demonstrate how to make 7 jumps forward from a chosen number. Emphasize that with each jump, the number increases by 1, and after 7 jumps, the number has increased by 7. Encourage students to practice this with different starting numbers, both within and beyond 10, to solidify their understanding of addition. The activity will help them visualize the concept of addition and understand that adding 7 makes a number larger.

Let’s Play a Game: Race to 20! – Roll the dice for your turn – Add 7 to your roll – If you roll a 3, what’s 3 + 7? – Move your piece forward – Advance the number of spaces you get after adding 7 – First to reach 20 wins! | This slide introduces a fun and interactive game to help first graders practice adding 7. The game ‘Race to 20’ is designed to reinforce their addition skills in a playful setting. Each student will take turns rolling a dice and then add 7 to the number they roll. They will then move their game piece forward by that total number. This activity not only helps with their math skills but also encourages counting, turn-taking, and sportsmanship. As a teacher, facilitate the game, ensure fair play, and guide them through the addition process if they struggle. Prepare to celebrate each child’s effort and progress, regardless of who wins the game.

Class Activity: Adding 7 with Objects – Understand addition with objects – Each student adds 7 objects – Pick any object, then add 7 more – Visualize real-life addition – See how numbers increase with items – Take turns for hands-on practice | This activity is designed to provide students with a tangible understanding of addition by using physical objects. It will help them grasp the concept of ‘adding 7’ in a fun and interactive way.
