Domino Addition

Date: 19 March 2015

Subject: Math

Grade: Kindergarten

Goals/Objectives/Standards (Please include the NETS standards):

Nets:
1. Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes
using technology.
1c. Use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues
CCSS:
K.MP.4. Model with Mathematics; students experiment with representing problem situations in multiple ways
including numbers, words (mathematical language), drawing pictures, using objects, acting out, making a chart or
list, creating equations, etc. Students need opportunities to connect the different representations and explain the
connections.

4. After all the groups have finished, we will come
together as a class and fill in the rest of the worksheet
using the SMART board.
5. Each partner will have a chance to pick one of the nine
remaining problems and write the answer they got on
the board as well as showing the problem using dominos.
Closing/Assessment
After the students explain the remainder of the problems, I
will go over any misunderstandings or questions they may have
come up with.

Monitor/Feedback

I will be available and walking

around throughout the
designated work time to
monitor behavior and ensure
the partners are working
together.

Self Evaluation of the Lesson

With the repetition of the problems using the dominos as well as writing the number representations, the
students are getting the problem at least three times. Once with the picture, once with the number
representation of the picture and once with the physical dominos. This will reassure they understand the
concept of addition. By going over the worksheet as a class, the students can see the way different groups
computed the problem and they also gain the knowledge of explaining their answer.
