 This is a way that I teach addition to my students. I'm going to show you the materials that I need to do this activity. I have a pencil, I have the plus symbol, I have the tiles which are the counters and I have a little sheet where they're going to write the problem and the pouch has already problems that are already written in little cards like 2 plus 2. When you want to do this activity you can use all kinds of other things like beads or marbles. Friends, we are going to learn to do addition with tiles. So what we are going to do is first you take this piece of paper and then you're going to look inside here and find a problem and then first you write your problem 4 plus that's your symbol for addition plus 3 equal to. So I'm going to write 4 plus 3. Then I'm going to take my tiles 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3. Now let's see what my answer will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So 4 plus 3 equal to 7 to put my tiles back here. Then I'm going to put my problem in this little pouch and then I get to take this home. Would you like to try one please? Sure. Would you like to try one please? Get your problem out. 4 plus, now you get your tiles. What's your answer? 1. Wonderful.
