Solve real life problems involving Addition

  • While teaching the lesson, also consult textbook where and when applicable.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk / marker, duster, Mathematics textbook, chart (having the important points to solve real life problems)

Introduction

  • Illustrate the following number story in front of the class:

Solve real life problems involving Addition

  • Ask the students: How can we solve this question?
  • After their response, call any student on the board and ask to write the given and required information from the number story.

Solve real life problems involving Addition

  • Tell the students that the word “altogether” means we have to find the total number of stamps collected. So we will do addition.
  • Ask any student to solve the question on the board.
  • Check the work and tell the students that these types of questions are called real life problems. Also we called them story based questions.
  • Tell the students that let us practice different real life problems involving addition (with and without carrying)

Development

Activity 1

  • Display the following chart in front of the class:

Solve real life problems involving Addition

  • Explain each point from the chart with the help of example used in introductory activity.
  • At the end, ask any student to repeat that points orally in front of the class.

Activity 2

  • Write the following number story on the board:

Solve real life problems involving Addition

  • Read the question and ask the students to tell the given and required information.
      • How many men in the town?
      • How many women in the town?
      • What we have to find?
      • How can you solve this question?
  • Collect their response and ask them to solve the question in their notebooks.
  • Move through the class to check the work and correct the mistakes if any.
  • On completion, solve the question on the board. Also introduce the words like ‘total’, ‘sum’, ‘altogether’ so that they could easily understand and solve the question.

Activity 3

  • Divide the students in groups of 3 to 4.
  • Write the following real life problem on the board:

Solve real life problems involving Addition

  • Ask the students to solve the question in their notebooks using the guidelines explained in Activity 1.
  • Check the answer of any student from each group.
  • Then ask those students to check the work of remaining students.
  • At the end, announce the winner group having the students with more correct answers.
  • Appreciate that group and ask the remaining groups to re-check their work and correct the mistakes.

Sum up / Conclusion

  • Students will be asked to:
  • Revise the procedure to solve the real life problems of addition with the help of chart used in Activity 1.

Assessment

  • There are 3450 girls and 5698 boys in a school.
  • Find the total number of children in a school.

Follow up

  • Ask your father about the recent utility bills (electricity, gas, water). Find out the total amount of all the bills.
