Title: Addition Story Problems for Year 1

Objective: - Students will be able to solve addition story problems using manipulatives and number sentences. - Students will develop critical thinking skills by applying addition strategies to real-life situations.

Materials: - Manipulatives (counting cubes, buttons, or any small objects) - Whiteboard or chart paper - Markers - Addition story problem worksheets (prepared in advance)

Warm-up (5 minutes): 1. Begin the lesson by reviewing addition as the process of combining two or more numbers to find the total. 2. Ask students to share examples of addition they have encountered in their daily lives (e.g., adding toys, counting snacks, etc.). 3. Conduct a quick mental math warm-up by giving simple addition problems orally and having students solve them using fingers or mental calculations.

Introduction (5 minutes): 1. Display a picture book or a visual representation of a simple addition story problem (e.g., “Sara has 3 apples, and her friend gives her 2 more. How many apples does Sara have now?”). 2. Read the story problem aloud and ask students to think about how they would solve it.

Guided Practice (15 minutes): 1. Divide the class into small groups and distribute manipulatives to each group. 2. Provide each group with an addition story problem worksheet. 3. Instruct students to read the story problem together and use the manipulatives to act it out. 4. Encourage students to discuss and collaborate on finding the solution. 5. Once the groups have found the answer, ask them to write the corresponding number sentence on the whiteboard or chart paper. 6. Discuss the different strategies used by each group and highlight the importance of showing their work.

Independent Practice (15 minutes): 1. Distribute individual addition story problem worksheets to each student. 2. Instruct students to read the story problems independently and solve them using manipulatives and number sentences. 3. Circulate around the classroom to provide assistance and monitor students’ progress. 4. After completing the worksheets, have students share their answers and strategies with a partner.

Conclusion (5 minutes): 1. Gather the students back together as a whole group. 2. Ask a few students to share their favorite story problem and how they solved it. 3. Summarize the importance of using manipulatives and number sentences to solve addition story problems. 4. Provide positive feedback and praise for students’ efforts and participation.

Extension Activity: For students who finish early or need an extra challenge, provide additional story problems with higher numbers or multi-step problems. Encourage them to create their own addition story problems for their classmates to solve.

Assessment: Observe students’ participation during the guided and independent practice activities. Assess their ability to solve addition story problems correctly using manipulatives and number sentences. Review their completed worksheets to gauge their understanding of the concept.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
