Themes:
- Lesson 1 - Going On An Egg Hunt: Students are go on an egg hunt for jelly beans. They get a plastic egg with a given number of jelly beans to start. They are also given a sum that they are looking to get to. They count the jelly beans they are starting with and search around the room for another egg that has enough jelly beans to reach their sum. They'll use either the jelly bean printables that are included, actual jelly beans, or your choice of math tools, and represent their work on a recording sheet with pictures and/or numbers.
- Lesson 2 - Carrot Gardeners: Students become gardeners! They get a "garden" with a given number of carrots to start. They are also given a sum that they are looking to get to. They count the carrots they are starting with and search around the room for another garden that has enough carrots to reach their sum. They'll use either the carrot printables that are included, or your choice of math tools, and represent their work on a recording sheet with pictures and/or numbers.
- Lesson 3 - Let's Recycle: Students "work" at a "recycling plant". They are given 2 recycling bins that contain different recycled materials in them. They have to add the materials from each bin together to find the sum. Then, they organize it on a recording sheet to prove the sum they have.
