In this class, we will learn all the skills needed for addition! Each week, students will have interactive lessons each week to learn how to add. The class plan will be as follows.

Week 1: We will review basic counting and studying 1-digit addition.
Week 2: We will continue to practice 1-digit addition and then explore what may happen if the top number has 2-digits instead of 1. (For example, 12+2 instead of 2+2.)
Week 3: We will continue to practice 1- and 2-digit addition and then explore what may happen if both numbers have 2-digits. (For example, 12+12.)
Week 4: We will continue to practice 2-digit addition and then see that 3-digit addition works the same way!
Week 5: We will practice all the skills we have learned in the previous 4 weeks with addition word problems to explore how we may use addition in our lives.
Week 6: Students will be engaged in a project where they will be encouraged to find objects in the real world and bring them together in one big final group project!

Using Nearpod, students will have interactive lessons each week. These lessons will include practice games and quizzes, instructional videos, and student discussion questions to keep students thinking about the practical uses of addition throughout the class. Throughout the class, students will also be engaged with "I have, who has" games where students try to find objects in the real world to add together, and post pictures of those items.

Parents can expect regular posts in the classroom from the teacher to guide the parents and students and ensure that students are making enough progress each week to complete the class, as well as shoutouts to students for completing assignments.
