IMB Lesson Plan: Activity Description of Activities and Setting Time
Daily Lesson Objective: Students will be able to solve a three-digit addition problem within 1,000 using strategies based on place value, concrete models or
drawings, on an open number line independently.
Prior Knowledge: Students will have an understanding of place value of two-digit numbers whose added sums equal a three-digit number (hundreds place
value.) Students will also be able to solve addition problems using the associative property, writing numbers in expanded form and add along an open
number line.
“Let’s try one more example together. How might you solve 398+10?”
*ask student to share their strategy.
*Model using manipulatives or HTO chart if that is a strategy a student prefers to use.
15 minutes
Teacher says: “Let’s try one that will require us to think a little bit harder in order to solve.
What if we started with 234, but had to add hundreds, tens and ones?
Say 234+225=? How might you solve this equation using the strategies you used in the previous
problems?”
Students dismissed to work at their tables and given ten minutes to solve/strategize.
Math manipulatives already in place at group tables.
2. Explore *students work in pairs in their math journals to solve the equation.
Teacher circulates watching and listening for different strategies that a group or student will
share.
If students are stuck on how to solve or which strategy to use, they will have concrete
manipulatives at their tables. Teacher may guide them by having the group or individual build
both of the three-digit numbers and work through the steps of adding the place values together.
HTO charts will also be included for students to keep their manipulatives organized.
If a group finishes early, they will be encouraged to solve the equation using a different strategy.
They might also be given a new equation that requires regrouping in the tens and hundreds place
values and their strategy can be used to teach in the explain phase. They might also be given an
equation such as 456 + 298 to see if they can develop a strategy using the open number line that
involves addition and subtraction.
Expectations for teacher are to locate a student or students who have used manipulatives, a
student or students who used a different order of place values when adding on the open number,
and a student who grouped the hundreds, tens and ones to make bigger jumps to solve.
15 minutes
Students return to front of classroom to lead discussion on how to solve the three-digit addition
problem. A total of three students will be called on to provide explanations for how they used an
open number line to solve the problem 234+225.
Students will again provide explanations as teacher assists in recording their strategy on the
whiteboard.
Teacher explanation to follow:
3. Explain “When we add on an open number line, we can break apart a three-digit number into hundreds,
tens and ones. Remember expanded form, it’s kind of like that. Let’s start with adding with the
hundreds place value.”
Teacher draws open number line with an equation that reads 234 + 400.
• “How should I begin?”
*students guide the modeling showing four jumps of a hundred equaling 634.
Some students may have used mental math or did not break the hundreds apart, demonstrating
how one large jump can be made.
Teacher provides one more example using three-digit addition where regrouping is required.
“Again, using an open number line how could we add 547 and 276?”
Teacher writes the equation 547+276 and has students share a strategy that can be used along an
open number line to add the two numbers.
Questions to ask:
4. Elaborate
Informal: Student participation during engage, explore and explain phases of lesson. Teacher
observes comprehension and use of previously taught strategies and observes their progression
5. Evaluate
towards mastery as they locate strategies that guide their thinking.
Assessment Methods of
all objectives/skills
Formal: Students will be given an exit ticket with two addition problems adding 10 and 100 to
three-digit numbers and a three-digit open number line addition problem where they will also
record their strategy to solve.
