Teacher will pick two numbers and students will count out each number with blocks and
place on both sides of the white board
o Teacher will instruct students to double check themselves and touch and count to
make sure they counted out the correct number of blocks
Teacher will instruct student to place a plus sign in the middle of the blocks
o Why does the plus sign go in the middle? DOK 1 (It tells us to add both numbers
together)
Teacher will instruct students to add an equal sign on the right side of blocks and explain
that this is where we will put the total number of blocks
o What is missing from our addition sentence? DOK 1
Look at Andy Addition anchor chart if you dont remember
Students will add all blocks together and write the answer after the equal sign
o What do we put after the equal sign? DOK 1
Teacher and Students will continue doing this for four problems (Implement Lemov:
Check for Understanding)
Closure:
A few students will come up in front of the class and create and solve their own math
problem
