Number Sentence Math Tray

Grade Level(s): Kindergarten - 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.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
CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.D.8 Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ – 3, 6 + 6 = _

Targeted Needs of Student:
Counting objects, solving math problems, working with manipulatives

Goal:
Understanding number sentences through manipulatives

Materials Needed:


1.      Three section trays
2.      Objects to sort
3.      Operation signs (+, -, and =)



Explanation/Summary:
Students will use this tray to show number sentences by placing objects in the tray. The tray will have three sections, the first two which are separated by an operation sign (such as + or -) and then the third tray is separated from the second tray with an equal sign to show the end result of the number sentence. Any object can be used, they just have to be small enough to fit multiples in the tray. Also, have students solve problems such as 3 + ___ = 6 by not placing any objects into the second slot in the tray.
