Part + Part = Whole Overview Page

Part + Part = Whole Unit Overview



First grade students will develop strategies for adding whole numbers based on their prior work with small numbers.  They will use a variety of models, including discrete objects and length-based models (e.g., cubes connected to form lengths), to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and and subtraction, and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these operations.

Common Core Standards


Using addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations for addition to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g. by using objects, drawings, and equations, with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.1

Work with addition and subtraction equations. Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ – 3, 6 + 6 = _.  CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.D.8

Technology Literacy (Iowa Core Curriculum- 21st Century Skills)
Use technology resources to identify problems, help recognize and describe patterns, make predictions and / or propose solutions.


Learning Objectives


Given three numbers(C), first grade students(A) will solve part/part/whole simple  word problems using manipulatives, IPads, and Smart board games (B)with 90%accuracy(D).

Given a series of numbers (C) first grade students working collaboratively(A) to determine the unknown whole number in an addition equation (B) with 90% accuracy.(D)

Given daily resources (C) first grade students (A) will use Readings, watchings and listenings to benefit them in developing their addition skills (B) that will be monitored by teachers expecting 100% completion. (D)

Teaching Strategies 

 

To ensure that students start off with a solid foundation for addition and subtraction we will concentrate on working on part, part, whole to ensure that children learn that 2 and 3 make 5, but so do 4 and 1.   We will be using concrete objects to allow students to make sense of the part-part-whole relationship between two or more parts, once students can visualize the part-part-whole relationships, they will then move on to put these relationships into pictorial representations and math models increasing students “number sense”.

Monday Day 1

Hello First Graders!
Today we are going to start talking about our new unit. Part+Part=Whole, this is when we take two numbers and add them together to get our whole.
Today you watched this video clip in class...here it is again if you would like to watch it on your own or with your parents. Part+Part=Whole.
Here is a catchy song to start off our unit. Part of a whole. You can't have a whole without a part.
 
Today you were also playing two Smart Board games. 
Game #1                                                                              
    
Game #2                    
      

Feel free to keep playing these games on your own time at home. Ask your parents or guardian for permission to download or play any games. Remember the more practice you have, the more skilled you will be at adding. Have FUN!


After we played these games in class today you finished your time by playing at math centers. You played the games:
Number Fishing:                                                              
                                            























Adding fun Station:







*Each one of these games helped you understand how to take 3 separate numbers and make it a math problem.

Tuesday - Day 2

Smartboard Review: Rainy Day Domino Math

This is a math lesson used to teach early addition through "part + part = whole". Using gradual release first teacher models, then we do together and then choose to have your students drag the numbers to the parts or have them practice their number writing.

Wednesday - Day 3

Hello Students!  You all have been doing a wonderful job with our math lessons this week!  Today we were able to move onto some fun Math Centers to help us continue working with Part Part Whole!

In our classroom you found three centers with fun ways to explore our unit.  The first center involved educreation and the triangle cards!

At the educreation center, you were able to pull up triangle cards and pick out how the two numbers were related.  The numbers were already picked out for you, but you also had some blank ones where you could create your own problem for your partner!






The second center involved using the iPad to work with Popplet.  At this station, you were able to actually create your own part part whole creations with your partners to quiz them.  I asked you to create a problem to share with the rest of the class, which will be available on the blog to practice at home with your parents!





Finally, you were able to work at the ball station.  Here you had a worksheet giving you different part part whole problems.  You had matching manipulates to help you solve the problem.  The best part about this activity is that you can do this one at home with anything you can find in your house!






Tomorrow we have some more fun activities to work on!  Be ready to have some fun! :)

Audio Instructions for the Math Centers can be found here!

Thursday - Day 4


Part Part Whole Review and Math Center Day

After we play the Part Part Whole Headband game you and your partner will work on math centers today!

Friday - Day 5


Welcome to assessment day First Graders! 

Today you will meet one on one with your teacher so that you can see how you are doing with Part +Part =Whole.
For the first part of this you will be given a math mat that we used on the first two days. You will then be give a series of numbers to put in the part, part, whole spots on your mat. To practice you can use the following numbers:
#3 and #6=
#2 and #5=

#9 and #4=
For the second part of the assessment you will be asked to make up and solve two story problems using some of the numbers from above.
For example: I have 3 cookies, and my friend Kim has 6 cookies. How many cookies do we have all together?
During the time that you are making your story problems you will be on video. We are going to do this so that you can later watch it and see how you created and solved the problem.


_________________________________________________________
PARENTS:
To help your students prepare for this assessment you can create a math mat using a paper plate and any manipulative you can find: Gummy bears, coffee beans, small toys...ect.



*Students can also go to the extra resource page located on this blog, for additional games to help them prepare.
