Adding One More! – What does ‘One More’ mean? – ‘One More’ means adding 1 to a number – Counting up to 10 – Adding one more to numbers – If we have 4 apples and get 1 more, we have 5 apples! – Practice with number frames – We’ll use frames to add 1 more to numbers 1-9 | This slide introduces the concept of ‘One More’ to Kindergarten students, which is a fundamental building block for addition. Start by explaining that ‘One More’ means adding one to any number. Use real-life examples like adding one more toy to a group of toys to make the concept relatable. Demonstrate counting from 1 to 10 with the class to ensure they are comfortable with the numbers. Then, show how to add one more to a number using physical objects or illustrations. Finally, use number frames (ten frames) to visually represent the concept of adding one more, which helps in developing their number sense. Encourage the children to participate by asking them to predict the next number before revealing it. Prepare hands-on activities with number frames for the students to practice adding one more.

Understanding ‘One More’ – ‘One more’ means adding 1 – If we have 3 apples, one more would be 4 apples. – Counting 1 to 10 together – Each number gets bigger by 1 – After 2 comes 3, then 4, and so on. – Practice with number frames – Use frames to add 1 more block up to 10. | This slide introduces the concept of ‘one more’ to Kindergarten students, which is a fundamental building block for understanding addition. Start by explaining that ‘one more’ simply means adding one to the current number. Engage the students by counting from 1 to 10 as a class, emphasizing the idea that with each step, the number increases by one. Use visual aids like number frames to help students visualize the concept of ‘one more’. For example, show a frame with 3 blocks and then add one more to make it 4. Encourage students to use their fingers or classroom objects to practice this concept. The goal is for students to grasp the basic idea of incrementing numbers by one and to recognize patterns in number sequences.

Adding One More with Ten-Frames – Ten-frames show numbers visually – A grid of 10 spaces to see numbers – Fill frames to add one more – Place a counter in the next space – Understand counting up to 10 – Helps recognize numbers without counting each time – Practice with real counters | This slide introduces the concept of using ten-frames to add one more, which is a visual tool to help Kindergarten students understand numbers and simple addition. A ten-frame is a two-by-five rectangular frame into which counters are placed to visually represent numbers up to 10. Students can practice by placing a counter in an empty space on the ten-frame to add one more, which helps them grasp the concept of incrementing numbers. Encourage students to use physical counters to fill in the ten-frame during the activity. This hands-on experience reinforces their understanding of counting and addition. Provide various ten-frame worksheets and counters for individual practice.

Let’s Practice Together: Adding One More! – Starting with 4 counters – What is one more than 4? If we have 4, one more is 5 – Add another counter Placing one more counter with the others – Now we have 5 counters! Count them all together, we reach 5! | This slide is an interactive activity to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of ‘one more’ using counters. Start with 4 counters visible to the students. Ask them what one more than 4 would be to encourage thinking. Then, physically add another counter to the group so they can visually see the addition. Finally, count all the counters together to confirm that there are now 5. This hands-on approach reinforces counting skills and the concept of addition. For the activity, have different sets of counters ready for each student or pair to work with, and guide them through the process of adding ‘one more’ to various numbers up to 10.

Adding One More Apple – Start with 3 apples – Add one more apple – How many apples now? – Adding 1 to 3 gives us 4 apples – Let’s count together! – Counting helps us see the answer is 4 | This slide is designed to teach students the concept of ‘one more’ using a relatable example of apples. Start by showing them a picture or a physical representation of 3 apples. Then, introduce an additional apple to the group. Ask the students to predict how many apples there will be now. After they make their predictions, count the apples together as a class to confirm that there are now 4 apples. This activity helps to reinforce the concept of addition and the idea of ‘one more’ in a tangible way. It’s important to engage the students by asking them to participate in the counting and to visually show the addition of one more item.

Your Turn: ‘One More’ Game with Ten-Frames! – Observe the ten-frame I show – Think: What is ‘one more’ than shown? – If there are 4 dots, what comes next? – Say your answer out loud – Ready to play the ‘One More’ game? | This interactive slide is designed to engage Kindergarten students in a game that helps them understand the concept of ‘one more.’ Display a ten-frame with a certain number of dots (up to 9) and ask the students to identify ‘one more.’ This activity reinforces counting skills and the concept of addition. Make sure to praise their efforts and correct gently if needed. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them with a ‘one less’ question to extend their thinking. Have a variety of ten-frames ready to show, and encourage students to visualize the ‘one more’ before they answer.

Class Activity: One More Hunt – Let’s go on a ‘One More Hunt’! – Find an object in our classroom – Bring ‘one more’ of the same kind – How many do you have now? – If you had 1, now you have 2. That’s one more! | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of ‘one more’ in a fun and interactive way. Set up the classroom with various objects that are easy to handle and count. Guide the students to find an object and then bring one more of the same kind to their desk. Once they have done this, ask them to count how many they have in total to reinforce the concept of adding one more. Possible variations of the activity could include pairing students to find ‘one more’ together, using different colored objects to add complexity, or timing the hunt to add excitement. Ensure that the activity is supervised for safety and that all students understand the instructions clearly.

Celebrating ‘One More’! – ‘One More’ concept mastered – Adding one more is simple – It’s like adding a single block to our tower – Just one extra counter needed – Imagine our ten-frame and place one more – Practice makes perfect | Congratulations to the class for learning the concept of ‘One More’! It’s important to reinforce that adding one more is a basic step in counting and is as simple as placing one more item into a group. Use a ten-frame as a visual aid to help students visualize the concept. Encourage them to practice with different objects, like blocks or stickers, to solidify their understanding. As they become more comfortable with ‘One More’, they’ll be better prepared for future math concepts. Keep celebrating their successes and encourage them to keep practicing at home with their families.
