Lesson Summary

The student will get in to groups of two. Each group will have a set on math cubes. I will put and addition problem on the SmartBoard and they will have 45 second to try to find the answer using the math cubes. After doing this for about 15 minutes. The students will receive Handout A, an addition worksheet. I will give the students 10 minutes to work on it in class separately and they may ask questions. After the 10 minutes the class will separate into two groups, Group A and Group B, we will have an Addition Math Race. One person from each group will go to the Smart board and they will solve the problem, the student who finishes first wins and that group receives one point.
