Your next great Lessn starts here.

Welcome to Addition! – Greet the class: Good morning! – Today’s lesson: Adding numbers – We’ll learn to add numbers up to 10 – Using pictures for addition – Pictures make it easier to see the addition – Fun with sums up to 10 – We’ll practice with examples and games | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the concept of addition in a fun and engaging way. Start the class with a warm greeting to create a welcoming atmosphere. Explain that addition is simply putting numbers together to make a new number. Use visual aids like pictures and objects to demonstrate addition problems, as these are more relatable and easier for young children to understand. Incorporate interactive activities such as counting items in a picture and adding them together to reach sums up to 10. This will help students grasp the concept of addition in a concrete way. Prepare to have a variety of examples and games ready to ensure that all students can participate and enjoy the learning process.

What is Addition? – Addition combines numbers – Like adding apples in baskets – Adding finds the total amount – If you have 3 toys and get 2 more, how many now? – Let’s explore examples! – We’ll add using images of objects – Practice with pictures | This slide introduces the concept of addition to Kindergarten students. Start by explaining that addition is a way of finding out how many items we have altogether by combining two or more groups. Use tangible examples like combining fruits or toys to make the concept relatable. Show visual examples with pictures to help them understand the process of adding. Encourage the students to count aloud as you add items in the examples. After explaining, engage the students with simple addition problems using pictures, where they can visually see the groups combining and count the total number of items to find the sum.

Adding with Pictures: Sums Up to 10 – Pictures help us add – Each picture equals one item – Count pictures to find totals – If we have 3 apples and 2 apples in pictures, we count them all to see we have 5 apples. – Practice with sums up to 10 – Let’s add using pictures of animals, fruits, or toys that don’t go over 10 when put together. | This slide introduces the concept of using visual aids to solve addition problems, which is particularly effective for Kindergarten students who are developing their counting skills. Emphasize that each picture represents one unit and that by counting all the pictures together, they can find the total sum. Encourage the students to practice with different sets of pictures, ensuring that the sums do not exceed 10, to build their confidence and understanding of addition within this range. Provide examples with common items such as fruits or toys to make the activity relatable and engaging. During the class, you can use physical objects or draw on the board to demonstrate this concept.

Let’s Practice Addition with a Story! – Start with 3 birds on a tree – 2 more birds join them – How many birds now? 3 birds + 2 birds makes how many? – Let’s count all the birds together Use your fingers or draw to count birds | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help Kindergarten students practice addition through a story-based problem. Start by telling the story of the 3 birds on the tree and then introduce the 2 additional birds. Ask the students to visualize the scenario and use their fingers or drawings to count the total number of birds. Encourage them to say the numbers out loud as they count. This activity helps to reinforce the concept of addition by combining two groups into one total. For the teacher: Be prepared with bird illustrations or props to make the story engaging. Offer guidance as needed and praise the students for their efforts. Possible variations of the activity could include using different animals or objects, and changing the numbers to create new problems.

Adding Apples Together! – Start with 4 apples – Add 3 more apples – Count all apples together – Use apple pictures to count – Discover total number of apples – Is it more or less than 10? | This slide is aimed at providing additional practice for Kindergarten students on addition word problems with sums up to 10. The example uses a relatable scenario of having apples and getting more apples, which they can visualize. Encourage the students to draw or use actual pictures of apples to solve the problem, reinforcing the concept of addition. The activity should be interactive, allowing the students to physically count the apples in the pictures. This hands-on approach helps solidify their understanding of basic addition. In the next class, ask the students to share how many apples they counted and discuss if anyone got a different number and why. Prepare to guide them through the correct counting method if necessary.

Solving Addition Word Problems with Pictures – Word problems are like stories – Drawing helps us solve problems – Pictures can show us how many to add – Let’s solve a problem together! – Example: 3 apples + 2 apples = ? – Adding numbers up to 10 | This slide introduces kindergarteners to the concept of addition word problems. Start by explaining that word problems tell a story about adding things together. Emphasize that drawing pictures can make it easier to understand and solve these problems. Walk through an example problem as a class, using simple language and visual aids. For instance, if the word problem is about adding apples, draw apples on the board and count them together. Encourage the students to draw along with you. This interactive approach helps students visualize the problem and understand the concept of addition up to 10.

Class Activity: Create Your Own Addition Story – Think of a favorite thing – Make a story adding them up – Imagine adding 3 teddy bears to 2 more – Draw your story with sums – Use pictures to show 3 bears + 2 bears – Share your story with the class | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students apply their understanding of addition in a creative and engaging way. Encourage the children to think of objects they like, such as toys, fruits, or animals, and create a simple story that involves adding these items together. Provide them with drawing materials so they can visually represent the addition problems in their stories, ensuring the sums do not exceed 10. This will help them grasp the concept of addition in a fun and tangible manner. As they share their stories with the class, they will also practice their storytelling and presentation skills. For the teacher: Prepare to assist students with their drawings and guide them in creating clear addition problems. Have a few examples ready to spark ideas, and ensure each student understands the activity.

Show and Tell: Adding with Pictures – Create your addition story – Share your story and pictures – Show your pictures to the class – Tell the total number of items – Count each item in your pictures out loud – We add as a class – Practice adding up to 10 with classmates | This slide is for a class activity that encourages students to apply their knowledge of addition within 10 in a creative and interactive way. Students will first create their own addition stories using pictures, which helps them visualize the concept of combining two groups of items. They will then present their stories to the class, showing their pictures and explaining the addition problem they represent. As each student tells the total number of items, the rest of the class will have the opportunity to practice adding the numbers together. This activity not only reinforces mathematical skills but also develops storytelling and presentation abilities. The teacher should prepare to guide the students through their stories, help with counting if needed, and ensure that each child understands the addition process.

Review and Goodbye! – Excellent work today, kids! – We practiced adding with pictures. – We used images to help us count. – Addition finds the total number. – If we have 3 apples and 2 more, we have 5 in total. – Keep practicing at home! | Today’s class was a success, and the children did a fantastic job learning addition with the help of visual aids. Reinforce the concept that addition is a way to find out how many items we have altogether. Encourage the students to practice this skill at home, perhaps with their toys or snacks, to further solidify their understanding. Remind them to use pictures or drawings to help them visualize the problems. As a parting activity, you could ask them to draw their favorite part of today’s lesson or to create their own addition problem with pictures to share next time.
