</td><td style="height: 77px;">Addition is the process of putting together two or more quantities to find the total. It helps us solve real-life problems like counting money, combining groups, or finding total distance or time.

</div>### Introduction Activity(15 minutes):

**ADDING DASH:** Place objects around the room (e.g., 3 pencils on one desk, 4 on another). Students walk around and add the numbers they find. At the end, they announce the total and explain how they added the numbers.

### Main Activity(70 minutes):

**Objective:** Help students connect addition with real life.

**Hands-On Activity:**

##### **DICE &amp; COUNTER ADDITION (30 minutes)**

1. Students roll two dice.
2. They use counters to represent the numbers and find the total.
3. Record the number sentence (e.g., 3 + 5 = 8).
4. Repeat with different pairs and share findings.

##### **Real-Life Word Problems (10 minutes)**

1. Give scenarios and ask students to act them out or solve on paper:
2. Riya has 3 apples. Her friend gives her 2 more. How many apples does she have now?
3. There are 4 red balloons and 6 blue balloons. How many balloons in total?
4. A bus has 5 children. 4 more get on at the next stop. How many children are on the bus now?
5. Use pictures or props to visualize each problem.

##### **Time to Solve (20 Minutes)**

**Part 1: Fill in the Missing Numbers**

(Fill in the blank to complete each addition sentence.)

1. 32 + \_\_\_ = 58
2. \_\_\_ + 26 = 64
3. 45 + \_\_\_ = 90
4. \_\_\_ + 55 = 100
5. 61 + \_\_\_ = 78

**Part 2: Match the Addition Sentences**

(Draw a line to match each picture with the correct addition sentence.)

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-a.-%5Btwo-apples%5D-%2B-%5Bt" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 87px; border-width: 0px; border-style: hidden;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"></col><col style="width: 50%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 29px;"><td style="height: 29px; border-width: 0px;">A. \[Two apples\] + \[Three apples\] </td><td style="height: 29px; border-width: 0px;">⭐ + ⭐⭐⭐⭐</td></tr><tr style="height: 29px;"><td style="height: 29px; border-width: 0px;">B. \[One star\] + \[Four stars\] </td><td style="height: 29px; border-width: 0px;">❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ + ❤️</td></tr><tr style="height: 29px;"><td style="height: 29px; border-width: 0px;">C. \[Five hearts\] + \[One heart\]   
</td><td style="height: 29px; border-width: 0px;">🍎🍎 + 🍎🍎🍎</td></tr></tbody></table>

Write into words:

1. 1 + 4 = 5
2. 2 + 3 = 5
3. 5 + 0 = 5

**Part 3: Pattern Hunt**

Fill in the missing number by finding the addition pattern:

1. 2, 5, 9, 14, \_\_\_, \_\_\_
2. 100, 150, 210, \_\_\_, \_\_\_
3. 1.2, 2.4, 3.6, \_\_\_, \_\_\_

### Review Questions (10 minutes) :

**Ask:**

What does addition mean?

Can you give an example of where we use addition in real life?

What strategies help you add numbers easily?

### Follow-up Tasks (5 minutes):

**Homework:**

1\. Write and solve 3 addition problems from your daily life (e.g., toys, books, family members).

2\. Complete 5 number sentences using objects at home (e.g., spoons, blocks).

3\. Draw and solve one picture addition problem (e.g., flowers in two pots).

### Expected Learning Outcome:

**Knowledge building:** Concept of combining values to find a total.

Understanding of addition symbols and sentences.

**Skill Building:**

- Mental math
- Visual representation
- Logical thinking
