Teaching addition of numbers, including money, with or without regrouping for grade 1 can be done in the following sequence:

  1. Introduce the concept of addition: Begin by explaining to students that addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to find the total or sum. Use concrete objects like blocks or counters to demonstrate addition visually.

  2. Start with simple addition without regrouping: Begin by teaching addition without regrouping. Use small numbers and objects that students are familiar with, such as fruits or toys. For example, ask students to add 2 apples and 3 apples to find the total number of apples.

  3. Introduce the concept of regrouping: Once students are comfortable with addition without regrouping, introduce the concept of regrouping. Explain that when adding larger numbers, sometimes it is necessary to regroup or carry over a value to the next place value.

  4. Teach regrouping with money: Use money as a concrete example to teach regrouping. Start with simple examples, such as adding coins. For instance, ask students to add 3 quarters and 2 dimes. If the total exceeds 100 cents, explain that they need to regroup the excess to the next dollar.

  5. Practice addition with money: Provide students with various examples of addition problems involving money. Use both coins and bills to make it more realistic. Encourage students to count the value of each coin or bill and then add them together to find the total.

  6. Use visual aids and manipulatives: Utilize visual aids, such as number lines or ten frames, to help students visualize the addition process. Manipulatives like coins or play money can also be used to make the learning experience more interactive and engaging.

  7. Provide ample practice opportunities: Offer plenty of practice exercises and worksheets for students to reinforce their understanding of addition with or without regrouping. Include a mix of word problems and numerical problems to enhance their problem-solving skills.

  8. Review and assess: Regularly review the concepts taught and assess students’ understanding through quizzes or informal assessments. Provide feedback and additional support as needed.

Remember to adjust the pace and difficulty level of the lessons based on the students’ progress and individual needs.
