My Proposal :)

40 mins to an hour

Adding and Subtracting

Goals/ Objectives:

         The Student will be able to add and subtract correctly

Rationale :

I feel that addition and subtraction are the basis of math, if this is taught correctly, these skills will be used throughout their math career as a student and will be used in higher-level math.

Medium

I will first start at the board and start by writing the numbers on the board that I would like to add or subtract.  Then I will show the students how to add not just with numbers but with symbols as well.  For example:  I will write the problem on the board 1+2=___   then under the 1 I will draw I star, under the 2 I will draw 2 stars.  I will then have the students count with me the number of stars all together.

Target Audience

         Kindergarten

STANDARD 4.1     (NUMBER AND NUMERICAL OPERATIONS)    

ALL STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP NUMBER SENSE AND WILL PERFORM STANDARD NUMERICAL OPERATIONS AND ESTIMATIONS ON ALL TYPES OF NUMBERS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.

4.1.2 B.  Numerical Operations

Numerical Operations.  Numerical operations are an essential part of the mathematics curriculum, especially in the elementary grades.  Students must be able to select and apply various computational methods, including mental math, pencil-and-paper techniques, and the use of calculators.  Students must understand how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and other kinds of numbers.  With the availability of calculators that perform these operations quickly and accurately, the instructional emphasis now is on understanding the meanings and uses of these operations, and on estimation and mental skills, rather than solely on the development of paper-and-pencil proficiency.
