Addition and subtraction within 10 - Adding more 2 - Worksheet

The lesson titled "Adding More" is part of a series designed to help children master addition and subtraction within 10, specifically focusing on the concept of adding more to a given number. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to enable students to add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero. To facilitate learning, differentiated worksheets and teaching slides are provided as resources. The key vocabulary words for the lesson include "add," "more," "counting," and "number." This lesson aims to transition students from counting all to counting on and to understand that addition can be done in any order, which is why they are presented with calculations in different orders, such as starting with the smallest number first.

During the lesson, children will solve word problems that involve adding more to given amounts, with the problems presented in various formats to accommodate different learning levels. For instance, some students will receive hints, while others will be required to complete all calculations independently. The lesson also encourages the use of concrete and pictorial representations to enhance conceptual understanding. Key questions are posed to prompt students to think about the number of items they started with, how many more were added, and the resulting total, as well as to formulate the corresponding number sentence. The lesson also addresses common misconceptions, such as whether one has to start with the largest number and why it is more efficient to do so. Through fluency, precision, reasoning, and problem-solving activities, students will deepen their understanding of addition within the context of practical scenarios.
