Teaching Gracefully

By the end of this lesson the students should be able to develop and use strategies for whole-number computations, with a focus on addition and subtraction, model, demonstrate, and act out The commutative property of addition, match number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property, construct number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property of Addition from a given number sentence, and identify the addends in a number sentence. This lesson plan includes several hands on activ

This lesson plan includes objectives, essential

Use this I Have, Who Has game to help the students practice the commutative property of addition by matching number sentences to number sentences that have switched the order of their addends.

These number sentence components are designed to be used with the commutative property of addition lesson as a hands on and interactive way for students to model and act out how changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. Have a student stand up front and hold each number sentence component.

These flip flops are designed to be used with the commutative property of addition lesson as a hands on, visual, and interactive way for students to model and act out how changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. See lesson plan for details on how to use.
