Vamos a sumar: devorando la suma hasta el 20

In this one-time class, utilizing a fun, Thanksgiving theme, learners will be introduced to two different addition strategies, counting on and using a number line, for solving addition facts involving one- and two-digit numbers. The class focus will be to solve addition facts within 20. In this class, learners will understand important math vocabulary, including add (combine) and equal (total); learners will also be able to name and recognize the symbols used in addition equations.

This class will follow an "I Do, We Do, You Do" instructional method, where I will begin instruction by teaching a mini lesson. Then learners will work together using the strategies learned in the mini lesson to solve addition problems as they play a game. Lastly learners will practice the strategies that they learned in the lesson to solve addition problems independently.

The class is structured to be interactive and hands-on to keep learning fun and to ensure young learners remain engaged throughout each session.

This course is appropriate for 1st grade and advanced Kindergarten learners.*
*Prior Knowledge: Learners should be able to add within 10 AND recognize, write, and count numbers 0-20.*

**There is a printable for use by learners during class.

Learners should be familiar with a few basic Zoom features to be successful in this course, including how to unmute*.
*I do not mute learners unless there is background noise that is distracting to other learners. I will give an initial warning before having to mute any learners, but if the background noise continues I will have to mute a learner, they may unmute themselves when they would like to speak and then mute themselves again after sharing what they want to say.
