Description
What our Properties of Operations Advanced lesson plan includes
Lesson Objectives and Overview: The Properties of Operations Advanced lesson plan teaches students about the commutative and associative properties of operation as they relate to addition. Students will apply what they learned to explain the relationship between addition equations. Finally, students will apply the commutative property of addition to several expressions. This lesson is for students in 1st grade.
Classroom Procedure
Every lesson plan provides you with a classroom procedure page that outlines a step-by-step guide to follow. You do not have to follow the guide exactly. The guide helps you organize the lesson and details when to hand out worksheets. It also lists information in the yellow box that you might find useful. You will find the lesson objectives, state standards, and number of class sessions the lesson should take to complete in this area. In addition, it describes the supplies you will need as well as what and how you need to prepare beforehand.
Options for Lesson
You can check out the “Options for Lesson” section of the classroom procedure page for additional suggestions for ideas and activities to incorporate into the lesson. Have students use objects to represent the addition equations. Go through examples of various equations so students become familiar with grouping. Help students see that making groups of 10 can help them add more easily. Advanced students begin to investigate the ability to decompose a number to make adding multiple numbers easier.
Teacher Notes
The teacher notes page provides an extra paragraph of information to help guide the lesson. It mentions that the lesson introduces parentheses as grouping symbols. You can use the blank lines to write down any other ideas or thoughts you have about the topic as you prepare.
PROPERTIES OF OPERATIONS ADVANCED LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES
The Properties of Operations Advanced lesson plan includes one page of content. It is interactive, so you can go through the page and pause whenever needed while students figure out what they need to do for each section. It discusses what the commutative property of addition is and how to use the associative property of addition. Students will realize that with the order of adding more than 2 addends does not matter. The answer will be the same. This page also gives plenty of examples of this concept, but you are welcome to add more on the board for extra practice.
PROPERTIES OF OPERATIONS ADVANCED LESSON PLAN WORKSHEETS
The Properties of Operations Advanced lesson plan includes three worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, and a homework assignment. Each one will help students solidify their grasp of the material they learned throughout the lesson. You can refer to the classroom procedure guidelines to know when to hand out each worksheet.
EXPRESSION MATCH ACTIVITY WORKSHEET
For the activity, students will match equal expressions, such as 1 + (3 + 4) and (1 + 3) + 4. There are eight matches total to make. Once they find a match, they will glue them next to each other on a separate page. Then they will solve the problems by finding the sum for each match.
REVIEW PRACTICE WORKSHEET
The practice worksheet requires students to write equations that match six pictures. For instance, they will count two birds and four cats, then four cats and two birds. They will then draw and write the commutative property for a specific expression.
PROPERTIES OF OPERATION ADVANCED HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
The homework divides into two sections. First, students will color in four models to demonstrate the commutative property for each equation. The second section requires them to circle the two numbers in each of six expressions that they should add first. Then they will solve each problem.
Worksheet Answer Keys
At the end of the lesson plan are answers keys for the three worksheets. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.
