Objective: At the end of the lesson, students will be able to apply their understanding of addition and subtraction to solve Word Problems. Materials: * Worksheet with questions of range addition and subtraction * Dry Erase Boards and Markers Warm-Up (5 minutes): * To review prior knowledge of addition/subtraction, ask students to work together in pairs and come up with 5 addition and 5 subtraction questions to write on the board. * As different students’ write the equations on the board, have the students explain the sense behind their equations. Introduction (5 minutes): * Explain that in the upcoming activities their understanding of addition/subtraction will be put to the test as they work with different types of questions. Body (15 minutes): * Provide the class with the Worksheet and explain that there are 10 different types of addition and subtraction questions (e.g. sums/difference of two numbers, sums/difference of two consecutive numbers, sums/difference of two numbers with different ends, etc.) * Instruct the students they should do the worksheet in teams, each tackling one type of problem in each pair. * Set a timer of 5 minutes to give them time to solve each equation * Monitor and guide the students throughout the exercise Conclusion (5 minutes): * Ask the students to go to the board, and one by one, work together to explain how they solved the different equations. * Give the students a few minutes to share which problems were most difficult and why Sample Questions (10): 1. Find the sum of 17 and 19. 2. Find the difference between 32 and 15. 3. Find the sum of two consecutive numbers that add up to 25. 4.
