This lesson focuses on combining two groups of objects to develop fundamental addition skills. Students will explore the concept of addition using visual and tactile methods, such as manipulatives, drawings, and numeral representations. Through a themed activity in 'Math Park', they will engage in various exercises where they physically combine groups of blocks or bears, solidifying their understanding of how to represent sums up to 10. The lesson includes guided practice where students match models, create their own number stories, and apply the concept in independent practice scenarios. Throughout the session, they will illustrate their work and formulate addition sentences to express their findings.
