Common Core Standards:
CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.1 Use addition and
subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to,
taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in
all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol
for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Targeted Needs of Student:
Adding,
subtracting, and understanding equations
Goal:
Practicing
adding and subtracting numbers in regards to an equation
Materials Needed:
1. Legos
2. Blank equation worksheet
3. Something to write with
Explanation/Summary:
Students
will be given a handful of legos and a work sheet with blank equations on it
( + or - =
.) Then, they will have to place a lego in each of the first two spaces
and add or subtract to find and right the answer at the end. To be sure that
they have gotten the right answer, be sure to have them write in how many each
of the legos represented. For instance, they might have a lego with 10 dots on
it that is being added to a lego with 6 dots on it. Students will need to write
10 on the space where the lego was and a 6 where the second lego was and then
16 as the answer after the equal sign.
