I can: Solve 3-digit addition problems using an expanded

How can you break large addition problems into smaller ones?

How can you use appropriate tools strategically? (Over-Arching)
How can you model with mathematics? (Topical)
Can you construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others? (Over-Arching)
Reason abstractly and quantitatively? (Over-Arching)
Review place number with place number book: use 538
Ask: what place value is the 5, 3, 8 in?
Whole Group Math:
1. Write 243 + 179 on board
2. Explain that each digit in each number can be broken down
by thinking about place value of each number
3. Make a Hundred column:
 Underline or bold the hundred value of each number
Place Value of 243 = 200
Place Value of 179 = 100
Add 200 + 100 = 300 *
Star 300 so that the students know this is an important
number to keep track of
4. Make a Tens column:
Underline or bold the tens value of each number
Place Value of 243 = 40
Place Value of 179 = 70
Add 40 + 70 = 110 *
Star 110 so that the students know this is an important
number to keep track of
5. Makes a Ones column:
Underline or bold the ones value of each number
Place Value of 243 = 3
Place Value of 179 = 9
Add 3 + 9 = 12 *
Star 12 so that the students know this is an important
number to keep track of
6. Add the sum of all the places
Look for starred numbers
300 + 110 + 12 = 422
7. Complete the same steps with 375 + 412, breaking the large
number into smaller numbers using place value categories:
hundreds, tens, ones
Students should follow along in their notebooks
Do thumbs up, thumbs down between every place
value
Discuss accordingly if students have a thumbs down

8. Pass out Review of Notes ; Go over together

*** NOTE: The students who were carefully chosen to work

independently were chosen because they are capable of working on
own. This does not mean that they will understand the concept 100%
every time. However, be careful to help them too much because they
often just want to get it done quick and easy, expecting the answer to
be given to them. If this begins to be the case, encourage them to try
the first three on their own and then check in again.)

Go over answers as a class. Write problem on board and ask for

volunteers to show their work and answer the problem

(Answer Key: a = 565 / b = 533 / c = 578 / d = 840)

After each solving of equation (done by student in front of class on

overhead) have students give thumbs up or thumbs down if they
agree or disagree.

If student(s) disagree, discuss what they did versus what should have
happened.

After this lesson, we will be able to answer this and learn how many
miles it will take to go from St. Johns to Mackinac City.

For now, lets estimate to find a reasonable answer.

161 + 47 (Round 161 to nearest ten and 47 to nearest 10)

So, 160 + 50 = 210

Therefore, we can expect that our answer will be about or close to

250. We will come back to this.

Sequence of Activities: Whole Group Math

Provide an overview of the flow of the lesson.
Should also include estimates of
pacing/timing. 1. Step 1: Add the ones and then regroup.
(From Michigan problem)
161
+ 47
_______
 Add the ones = 8 (Do not have to regroup because less than
9)
Add the tens = 10 (Have to regroup because more than 9)
Regroup 10 tens = 1 hundred and 0 tens
Add the hundreds = 2 (Do not have to regroup because less
than 9)
They drove 208 miles in total
Refer back to Inclusion Activity we got 210
Were we reasonably close? Yes! Only 2 away.

Remind the students of when we regrouped with the blocks.

This is just like that! But with columns.

Do another example: 463 + 528

Have students do problem in math notebooks, give two

minutes

Students share with table partners

Have students show thumbs up or down

down where they get confused

8. Mike has 187 more points than Linda.
Another example:
1. Carl has 472 pumpkins in his pumpkin patch. Abby has 284
pumpkins in hers. How many more pumpkins does Carl have
than Abby?
 2. Line up the number of pumpkins vertically.
3. Have students solve problem in math notebooks.
4. Monitor, give them about two minutes
5. Choose student who you saw got it right. Ask him or her to
come up and show what they did.
6. Have students show thumbs up or thumbs down.
7. If thumbs down, ask what they did differently. Clarify.
8. Ask questions, did you remember to regroup? Did you cross
off the numbers you used to regroup?

Last problem:
1. Refer back to the Graduated Mathematics Warm-Up
2. Have students solve in math notebooks
3. Ask a brave soul to come up and solve the problem from the
Graduated Difficulty, to show their work and discuss every
step
4. Any questions? Read body language. Who is confused?
Bored?

Transition into Guided Math

1. Show Problems to show for Guided Math on overhead.

2. In math notebooks, solve five problems of the regrouping in
ones place, 4 in the tens place, and 3 in hundreds.

Pull Courtney, Issyo, Cecily, and Taya up to bean table. Work with
them. Do not worry about problems. Choose one or two of each
category and work through together. Graduate difficulty when ready.

Instructional Strategies: Graduated Difficulty Mathematics Warm-Up

Research-based strategies to help students
think critically about the concept/skill

Assessment: Formative:
List both formative and summative
assessments that you will use to assess student
understanding. Formative assessments are Monitoring
given during instruction (check for Graduated Difficulty Assignment
understanding), summative are after
completion of instruction (how will you grade
quiz, test, project, paper, presentation, Summative:
demonstration, etc.).
To come at end of unit

Differentiation: Video to Subtract without and with Regrouping

Describe who will need additional or different
support during this lesson, and how you will
support them. Differentiated instruction could Segmented Assignment with Teacher
include testing accommodations, preferential
seating, segmented assignments, a copy of the
teachers notes, assignment notebook, peer
tutors, etc.
Summary, Integration and Put math notebooks away. Share with partner if you like adding or
Reflection: subtracting with 3 digit numbers and why.
List the way that you will bring students
together to integrate and reflect on their
learning from this lesson
