Day 1: Addition: 2-Digit without Regrouping
Grade 2 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Add 2-digit numbers without regrouping. |
|---|
| Materials | Base ten blocks, place value mats |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | add, tens, ones, total |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Let's combine 23 and 14 using our blocks!" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: Students build numbers with base ten blocks on mats, combining ones first, then tens. Record the standard algorithm. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Share your block model. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct sums using blocks. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Reinforce starting with ones. |
|---|
Day 2: Addition: Exploring Regrouping
Grade 2 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Exchange 10 ones for 1 ten. |
|---|
| Materials | Base ten blocks, tens/ones charts |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | regroup, exchange, bundle |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "What happens when we have 12 ones?" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: Give students >9 ones. Have them trade 10 ones for a ten rod. Practice trading and recording the new totals. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Explain how you traded. |
|---|
| Assessment | Accurate exchanging. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Crucial conceptual foundation. |
|---|
Day 3: Addition: 2-Digit with Regrouping (Concrete)
Grade 2 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Add 2-digit numbers with regrouping using blocks. |
|---|
| Materials | Base ten blocks |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | regroup, carry |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Build 38 + 25. Watch the ones!" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: Build both numbers. Combine ones (8+5=13). Trade 10 ones for 1 ten. Combine tens. Write the answer. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Show the trade to the class. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct trades and sums. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Keep it strictly concrete/visual today. |
|---|
Day 4: Addition: 2-Digit with Regrouping (Abstract)
Grade 2 Mathematics · Term 2, Week 1 · 60 min
| Objectives | Add 2-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. |
|---|
| Materials | Whiteboards, markers |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | algorithm, regroup |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Let's write down the magic we did with the blocks." |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: Solve 47 + 26 on whiteboards. Explicitly show where the "carried" ten goes on top of the tens column. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Solve one on the board. |
|---|
| Assessment | Correct algorithm usage. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Connect visual to abstract. |
|---|

| Materials | Addition task cards, blocks |
|---|
| Key vocabulary | review, sum |
|---|
| Engage (starter) | "Addition relay race!" |
|---|
| Develop (main) | Interactive: Pair students to solve task cards around the room. One builds, one writes, then swap roles. |
|---|
| Plenary (close) | Discuss the trickiest problem. |
|---|
| Assessment | Task card accuracy. |
|---|
| Teacher notes | Monitor for missed trades. |
