Let's Add and Subtract within 6!

Adding and Subtracting numbers within 6!

Learning Objective

When this lesson is complete, you will be able to add and subtract numbers within 6.

Explain to the students the goal of the lesson and what they will be able to do by the end.

What do you already know about adding and subtracting numbers within 6?

Introduction

Adding and subtracting numbers is a fundamental math skill. Today's lesson we will focus on numbers within 6.

Set the context for the lesson and explain the importance of addition and subtraction in everyday life.

Addition

To add two numbers, you combine the two. 

For example, 3 + 3 = 6.

Explain the concept of addition and give examples. Encourage students to participate and solve simple addition problems.

Subtraction

Subtraction involves taking away one number from another. This is the opposite of addition. 

For example, 2 - 1 = 1.

Introduce the concept of subtraction and provide examples. Encourage students to participate and solve simple subtraction problems.

Practice: Addition

Let's practice adding numbers within 6. Solve the following: 

1 + 3= ?

2 + 4 = ?

3 + 3 = ?

6 + 0 = ?

Provide a practice problem for addition. Allow students some time to solve the problem individually or in pairs. Then, discuss the solution as a class.

Practice: Subtraction

Now, let's practice subtracting numbers within 6. Solve the following: 

5 - 2 = ?

4-3 = ?

2-1 = ?

3-2 = ?

Provide a practice problem for subtraction. Allow students some time to solve the problem individually or in pairs. Then, discuss the solution as a class.

Interactive Activity: Addition

Drag and drop the numbers to complete the addition problem: 

2 + ___ = 5.

3 + ___= 6.

1 + ___= 2.

2 +___= 4.

Engage students in an interactive activity where they can practice addition by dragging and dropping numbers to complete the problem.

Interactive Activity: Subtraction

Drag and drop the numbers to complete the subtraction problem: 

6 -___ = 3.

5 -___ = 1.

4 -___ = 2.

3 -___ = 3.

Engage students in an interactive activity where they can practice subtraction by dragging and dropping numbers to complete the problem.

Summary

Way to go! You have now learned how to add and subtract numbers within 6. Keep up the great work and keep practicing!

Summarize the key points of the lesson and congratulate the students on their progress. Encourage them to continue practicing.
