=Kindergarten-Introducing the Plus Sign=

TEKS: K.3A || Implementation-The rest of the year :) || Extension: TLW create an Educreations project to explain the process of making sets to 5 and writing it in a number sentence. ||
 * **Title**: ||< Introducing the plus sign ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Math ||
 * **Grade**: ||< Kindergarten
 * **Time Frame**: ||< Intro-1 day
 * **Summary:** ||< We will be learning what the meaning of the plus sign is ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< * We will begin by showing two groups of objects on the carpet. I will push the two groups together and ask, "Can anyone tell me what they just saw? What happens when you join two groups together? Does the number get bigger or smaller? What's another way to say that? What's another way to show that?
 * Next, I will review how we've been writing out our addition problems (ex: 2 and 3 make 5) and explain that today we are going to learn about a symbol. We will discuss the meaning of a symbol and have the students make connections to what we've previously learned about symbols is ELA/SS.
 * When we write a + sign it means that we are adding the two groups together. You already know how to do this but now we are just writing/showing it a different way.
 * Next, we will review different ways to make sets (ex: 2+3=5, 1+4=5, etc...) using our manipulatives. I will model how to write this out on the activboard using a web found on pinterest. Addition Web
 * For our guided practice section, TLW get 5 cheerios and manipulate them in different ways to make 5. Together we will write our addition problem.
 * For students who have mastered this concept, they will create an Educreations during our math station time to teach this concept to a friend in our class or a different class who needs to hear it in "kidspeak." ||
 * Objectives: ||< * TEKS: K.3A ||
 * Assessment: ||< The learning will be assessed if they are 1. correctly creating sets to 5 and 2. if they are able to write out the sentence correctly.
 * Resources: ||< * manilla paper, manipulatives/cheerios, markers, Activboard, Educreations/iPad ||
