Number Chains

Grade Level(s): 1st Grade

Content Area:                                                                        Process Area:
Numbers and Operations                                           Problem-Solving
Algebra                                                                       Reasoning and Proof
Geometry                                                                    Communication
Measurement                                                             Representation
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability                    Connections

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.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5 Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2)
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.D.7 Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 - 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.

Targeted Needs of Student:
Practicing addition, different ways to show an equation, working with equations, visual representation of addition

Goal:
Providing  students with practice adding simple equations

Materials Needed:


1.      Construction paper
2.      Scissors
3.      Staples
4.      Sentence strips



Explanation/Summary:
Students will make paper chains to show simple additions problems. They will show the first number that is added with one color and then the other number to be added with another color. Then, students will connect the chains and count the total number to show the sum of the numbers. At the bottom of the chain, students will attach the equation written on sentence strips and then also write the equation in circles to show how they added (see the picture below.)
