Learners in Grade R, already know how to solve real-life situations. Through story sums, use the learners’
situation to add and subtract numbers between one and ten. Carefully take note of the milestones you are
expected to cover by the time you are in school. Your mentor teacher will be of great assistance in your
planning of the lesson.
Your role as a teacher to introduce the story is very important to guide learners to resolve their addition and
subtraction concepts at the Grade R level and at the given number range.
Remember to use the lesson template provided for the purpose of structuring your lesson clearly

Outcomes Learners are able to:
• Represent and solve addition word problems using objects.
• Explain how to solve an addition word problem by acting with objects.
Concepts and new • Story: something that has happened
knowledge of the • Problem: something to be solved
lesson • Equation: a math number sentence
• Story problem: reading a text and asking questions about the numbers in it
Differentiation • Enrichment: Invite learners to act out more complicated story problems. Ask
provided them to explain how to solve the problem with a partner and have them write
(enrichment/ learner down their steps and share out.
support/concerns) • Support: Allow learners to count in their home language. Work with learners
,LESSON PRESENTATION
Introduction of lesson • Gather the learners together for the start of the lesson.
• Using objects, tell a story problem about the classroom. For example, "I have
three pencils, and you have two pencils, how many pencils do we have in all?"
• Say, "In math we call this a story problem. Today we are going to practice
solving lots of story problems!"
Body of lesson • Write up a standard addition equation such as 2 + 1 = 3. Review the definition
of an equation as a math number sentence. Review strategies learners might
use when solving addition equations (e.g., counting, drawing, and using a
number line).
• Tell an additional story problem using objects.
• Model how to solve the problem by counting the objects and use a number
line to show one strategy of keeping track of amounts when counting.
• Show learners how to write a corresponding equation for the story problem
and practice reading the equation aloud.
• Now, tell a story problem to the class, “I have six crayons and then I found
four more crayons in my desk. How many crayons do I have in all?”
• Put the learners in pairs and provide each pair with a box of crayons.
• Ask the learners to solve the problem in their group.
• Gather back together and have learners share out how they solved the
problem. Highlight different strategies (e.g. moving the crayons, using a
number line, counting aloud, etc.).
• Model how to use drawings to show the word problem on paper.
• Write up the corresponding equation 6 + 4 = 10 and have learners practice
reading it aloud.
• Explain that learners will now get to create their own story problem using
objects from the classroom using the steps below.
o Choose objects.
o Tell the story.
o Draw a picture to show the problem.
o Trade with your partner to solve solve the problem and write an
equation. Pair students together and then send them to work.
Consolidation/ • Gather learners together.
conclusion • Tell the class a story problem.
• Pass out worksheets and markers and have learners turn and talk to a partner
to solve the problem using their worksheets.
