Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan for Grade 1
Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan for Grade 1
Subject: Mathematics
Materials: Counters (buttons, bottle caps, blocks), flashcards, number cards, manila paper,
worksheets, whiteboard and marker
I. Learning Objectives
III. Procedures
Teacher says:
"Let’s find out what happens when we add and subtract numbers. Are the answers the same
when we change the order? Let’s explore!"
For Addition:
(Yes, 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 = 8)
Teacher explains:
"This shows the commutative property—we can add numbers in any order and still get the
same sum."
(Nothing changes!)
“What is 6 + 0?”
(Still 6!)
(Still 9!)
Teacher explains:
"That’s the zero property of addition—when you add 0, the number stays the same."
For Subtraction:
“What is 9 - 0?”
(Still 9!)
“Can we do 0 - 9?”
"Addition has special rules, like switching numbers and using zero. Subtraction is different—we
have to be careful with the order."
C. ABSTRACTION
3+4=7
4+3=7
6+2=8
2+6=8
Key Idea: You can change the order of numbers in addition, and the sum is still the same.
0+5=5
10 + 0 = 10
3. Subtraction Reminder
8-0=8
8-3=5
D. APPLICATION
Group Activity
Pupils work in pairs to solve given problems using counters or number cards.
Sample Problems:
1. 2 + 5 = ___
2. 0 + 6 = ___
3. 9 - 0 = ___
4. 6 + 4 = 4 + ___
5. 10 - 4 = ___
1. 7 + 0 = __ (7 / 0 / 1)
2. 5 + 2 = 2 + __ (2 / 3 / 5)
3. 9 - 0 = __ (0 / 9 / 1)
4. 8 + 1 = __
5. 4 + 3 = 3 + __
1. 4 + 5 = ___
3. 9 - 0 = ___
4. 0 + 7 = ___
5. 10 - 3 = ___
V. Assignment
"Draw or write two addition and two subtraction problems showing what you learned today.
Use colorful objects or drawings, and label your answers. Submit it tomorrow."
