Description

Overview:

Students will solve contextual word problems and explain why the sum of any number and zero is the nonzero number. Some students have the misconception that since you are adding then the sum must be larger than the start. Using context problems and concrete manipulatives can help students visualize the reationship.***Note: Purposefully choose values for the context problems that are accessible for the student. The focus of the lesson should be on the Additive Identity Property.
