Learning to Add 8 – What is addition? – Addition is combining numbers together – Adding means total count – When we add, we count all items to see how many there are – Let’s practice with a story – We’ll use a fun story to learn adding – Adding 8 to other numbers – We’ll add 8 to numbers up to 12 | This slide introduces the concept of addition to first graders by defining it as the process of combining two or more numbers to find a total. Use simple language and relatable examples to explain that addition helps us count things together. For instance, if we have 5 apples and we get 3 more, we add them to find out we have 8 apples in total. Introduce a story-based activity where a character has a certain number of objects and finds or receives 8 more, allowing students to visualize the process of adding 8. Encourage students to use their fingers or counters to add 8 to different numbers, ensuring they understand the concept of addition as a means to find out ‘how many in total’. The story could involve a character who starts with a certain number of items and gains 8 more throughout the story, prompting the students to add along and find the new total.

Adding 8 with a Story: Apples in a Basket – Start with 8 apples – A friend gives 2 more apples – How many apples now? – Count together to find out – Use fingers or objects to count 8, then add 2 more | This slide introduces the concept of addition by using a relatable story about apples. Start by engaging the students with the scenario where they have 8 apples in a basket. Then, a friend gives them 2 more apples, and they need to figure out the total number of apples. Encourage the students to visualize the apples and use their fingers or physical objects to count from 8 up to the total. This hands-on activity helps to solidify the concept of adding 8 in a fun and interactive way. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist any students who may be struggling with the counting process.

Using Number Line to Add 8 – Number lines make addition easy – Jump forward 8 steps from a number – Starting at 3, count 8 jumps to reach 11 – See how numbers increase with jumps – Each jump adds one more to the number – Practice with different starting points – Try beginning at 1, then 2, then 4, and so on | This slide introduces the concept of using a number line to add 8 to any given number, which is a visual and interactive method suitable for first graders. Begin by explaining what a number line is and how it can be used as a tool for addition. Demonstrate with an example, such as starting at the number 3 and making 8 jumps forward to land on 11, showing how the number increases each time we move a step forward. Encourage the students to practice this technique with different starting numbers to solidify their understanding of addition. The activity should be hands-on, with students using physical number lines in the classroom to engage in the learning process.

Adding 8 to Numbers – Adding 8 to 1 makes 9 – Adding 8 to 5 makes 13 – Can you add 8 to a number? – Try with your favorite number! – Practice makes perfect! – Keep practicing with different numbers. | This slide is aimed at helping first graders practice the concept of addition, specifically adding the number 8 to other numbers. Start by demonstrating with simple examples, such as 8 + 1 and 8 + 5. Encourage the students to participate by choosing their own numbers to add to 8. This interactive approach helps to solidify their understanding of addition. Provide guidance and positive reinforcement as they work through the problems. For homework, ask them to find five more numbers to add 8 to and bring their answers to the next class. This will help them gain confidence in their addition skills.

Hands-On Practice: Adding 8 with Blocks – Start with 8 blocks – Add more blocks to make a new number If you have 8 blocks and add 2 more, how many do you have now? – Count your total blocks – Share your new number with the class Tell us what number you made by adding to 8 | This slide is designed for a hands-on class activity to help first graders practice adding 8 to other numbers using physical blocks. Start by having each student count out 8 blocks. Then, instruct them to add a specific number of additional blocks, one at a time, and count the new total. Encourage students to visualize the addition process and understand that adding 8 is simply counting 8 more from any given number. After they find their new total, have them share with the class to reinforce their learning. Possible variations of the activity could include adding different numbers of blocks to 8, using different colored blocks to represent the number 8 and the number being added, or pairing students to practice together.

Adding 8 – Fun Worksheet – It’s time for a worksheet! – Solve problems adding 8 – Add 8 to numbers like 5, 7, or 10 – Use pencils for counting – Count carefully and have fun | This slide introduces a class activity focused on practicing addition with the number 8. The worksheet should include a variety of problems that require students to add 8 to other numbers within the range of 1 to 12, ensuring the sums do not exceed 20. Encourage students to use their pencils to represent each number physically, which can help them count accurately. Remind them to take their time and verify their counts. For the teacher’s reference, possible activities could include using physical objects like counters or drawing pictures to represent the addition, pairing students to solve problems together, or incorporating a game where students roll a die and add 8 to the number they roll. The goal is to build confidence and accuracy in their addition skills.

Class Activity: Addition Relay – Let’s play the Addition Relay! – Work in teams to solve problems – Add 8 to numbers up to 12 – Each correct answer moves your team – If you solve ‘6 + 8’, take a step forward – Cheer on your classmates! | This activity is designed to encourage teamwork and make learning addition fun. Divide the class into small teams and have them line up. Give each team addition problems that involve adding 8 to a number. When a team member gets the answer correct, they move forward or pass a baton to the next member. This continues until one team reaches the finish line. Make sure to provide clear instructions and examples before starting. Possible variations include using flashcards, a whiteboard, or objects to represent the numbers. Monitor the activity to ensure fair play and assist any students who need help with the concept.
