Addition Patterns
Topic:
Extending teen addition facts.

In this activity students will:

Q Model addition problems with blocks. Q Identify regrouping patterns based on teen addition facts. Q Predict sums without using blocks.

Setup:
Student arrangement: Individuals or partners Individuals or partners need: 1 block-of-100 1 activity sheet per student

Addition Patterns
Introduction:
H Explain that this activity uses patterns in addition.

12

H Tell students that they will model each problem with blocks and then fill in the digits on the blank

digit cards on the activity sheet.

Activity:

H Pass out materials and try one or two problems from the activity sheet as a class.

Students will: H Use blocks to complete the addition tasks and record their result in the blank digit cards. H Examine and discover that each problem contains the 7+5=12 fact. H Identify the pattern of 2 in the ones place because 7+5 = 7+3 (one block-of-10) and 2 ones. H Predict the sums at the bottom of the page without using blocks. H Make up their own problems using the 7+5=12 fact. Closure: H Ask students to describe the pattern in the problems. Some responses might be that each problem: H Contains the 7+5=12 fact. H Requires regrouping. H Makes another block-of-10. H Results with a 2 in the ones place. H Has 7+5 in the ones place. H Makes another ten and 2 single ones each time because 7+5 = 7+3 (one block-of-10) and 2 (single blocks).

Assessment:

H Are students able to work independently by accurately modeling and recording each number

and the results of each addition problem?

H Do students discover at least one pattern? H Are students able to use the 7+5=12 addition fact to predict sums in their head? H Are students able to make up their own addition problems that use the same fact?

Extensions:

H A second activity sheet is provided with blank spaces so that you can make up your own

pattern sheet. Here are some examples of facts to try:

18+3, 28+3, 38+3, etc. 9+4=13 19+3, 29+3, 39+3, etc. 7+8=15 17+8, 27+8, 37+8, etc. 6+7=13 16+7, 26+7, 36+7, etc. 7+9=16 17+9, 27+9, 37+9, etc.
8+3=11
