Lesson 15 Ask, “WHAT IS THE SUM OF 5+3?”

Answer: 8
A. Lesson Program: Rounds
Ask, “ARE THE SUMS THE SAME?”
Answer: Yes, they are the same.
B. Item Program: SIP
Say, “THE ADDITION SENTENCES 3 + 5 = 8 and 5 + 3 = 8
C. Learning Competency: Illustrates the properties SHOW US THAT EVEN IF WE CHANGE THE POSITION OR
of addition (Commutative, ORDER OF THE ADDENDS, THE SUM IS STILL THE SAME.

and relevant situations
Example: ADDENDS ADDENDS
D. Preparations:
7 + 2 = 2 + 7
9 = 9
1. Prepare the chart where the items are written.
2. Prepare 3 more charts for the following: (1)
SUM
commutative property of addition; (2) associative
6. Give another example if the children cannot

addition.
7. Tell the children: IF WE HAVE THREE ADDENDS, WE
3. Study very well the properties of addition.
FIND THE SUM BY GROUPING THEM IN TWO WAYS.
4. Study this lesson two days before you will teach.
5. Give examples of all the properties of addition.
Example: 3 + 4 + 2 = 3 + 4 + 2
(3 + 4) + 2 = 3 + (4 + 2)
+

7 +2 = 3 + 6
Ask, “ WHAT IS THE SUM OF 3+5?” 9 = 9
Answer: 8 Say, “ ADD FIRST 3 AND 4; AND, 4 AND 2.”

Ask, “WHAT DID WE DO WITH THE ADDENDS?”
Answer: We grouped the addends.
Ask, “DID WE GET THE SAME SUM?”
Answer: Yes, the sum is the same.
Say, “THEREFORE, WE CAN WRITE THIS WAY:”
(3+4)+2 = 3+ (4+2)
Say, “THESE ADDITION SENTENCES SHOW US THAT
EVEN IF WE CHANGE THE GROUPING OF THE
ADDENDS, THE SUM IS STILL THE SAME. THIS IS
CALLED THE ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF
ADDITION.”
Example: 2 + (6 + 3) = (2 + 6) + 3
2+ 9 = 8 +3
11 = 11
8. Let them do this example.
Say, “COMPLETE THE ADDITION SENTENCES TO
SHOW THE ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF
ADDITION.”
5+4+ = + (4 + 2)
9+ = 5 +
11 =

9. Give this example to the children.
Say, “LOOK AT THIS OTHER EXAMPLE.”
A B
5 guavas 0 guavas
Ask, “HOW MANY GUAVAS ARE THERE IN BOX A?”
Answer: There are 5 guavas.
Ask, “HOW MANY GUAVAS ARE THERE IN THE
OTHER BOX?”
Answer: Zero or none
Say, “WE WRITE THE ADDITION SENTENCE AS:”
5+0=5
Say, “NOW LOOK AT THESE OTHER EXAMPLES:”
0 = 10 = 10 15 + 0 = 15
Say, “WHEN 5 IS ADED TO 0, WHAT IS THE SUM?”
Answer: 5

Ask, “WHEN 0 IS ADDED TO 10, WHAT IS THE SUM?”
Answer: 10
Ask, “WHEN 15 IS ADDED TO 0, WHAT IS THE SUM?”
Answer: 15
Ask, “WHAT IS THE SUM IF WE ADD ZERO TO A
NUMBER?”
Answer: The number itself.
Ask, “WHAT IS THE SUM IF A NUMBER IS ADDED TO
ZERO?”
Answer: The number itself.
5+0=5 0 + 10 = 10 15 + 0 = 15
Say, “THESE ADDITION SENTENCES SHOW THAT WHEN
A NUMBER IS ADDED TO ZERO, OR WHEN ZERO IS
ADDED TO A NUMBER, THE SUM IS THE NUMBER
ITSELF. THIS IS CALLED THE IDENTITY
PROPERTY OF ADDITION.”
10. Ask the help of the I.S. if needed. (This lesson can be
taught in 2 days.)
11. Finish the whole SIP in stage 1. After all the children
are done with Stage 1, go to the next stage for the next
lesson. Do the same in the next stage.

E. Steps:
Stage 1(SIP)
1. Task: COMPLETE EACH ADDITION SENTENCE TO
SHOW THE COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION
IN _______ (Item). If the answer is correct, praise the
child. Say, “VERY GOOD!” But if his/her answer is
wrong, teach him/her. Continue to Step 2.
2. Teach him/her, Say, “THIS IS HOW TO DO THE
COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY.” After showing it to
him/her, Say, “NOW, DO THIS AGAIN __________.”
(Item). If he/she gets the task correctly, say, “GOOD!
Then call another child to continue with Stage 1.
If there is a perfect round for Stage 1, proceed to Stage
2 Step 3 by calling another child.
Stage 2 (SIP)
3. Task: COMPLETE THE ADDITION SENTENCE TO
SHOW THE ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY IN _________.”
(Item)
EXAMPLE: 3 + 4 + 2 = 3 + 4 +2
(3+4) +2 = 3+ (4+2)
7 +2 = 3 + 6
9=9

Continue to Step 4.
4. Show the Commutative Property of Addition by going F. Items:
back to the example. Say, “SHOW THE COMMUTATIVE
PROPERTY OF ADDITION IN THIS ___________.” (Item) If Stage 1 SIP
the answer is correct, praise the child. Say, “GOOD!” 1.
But if his/her answer is wrong, teach him/her.
Continue to Step 5.
5. Teach him/her. Say, “THIS IS HOW TO DO THE
COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY.” After showing it to the
child, Say, “NOW, DO THIS AGAIN __________.” (Item) If 2 + = +

If there is a perfect round for Stage 2, proceed to Stage 2.

6. Task: COMPLETE THE ADDITION SENTENCE TO
SHOW IDENTITY PROPERTY IN THIS _______ (Item). If + = +
the answer is correct, praise the child. Say, “VERY =
GOOD!” But if his/her answer is wrong, teach him/her.
Continue to Step 7.

7. Teach him/her. Say, “THIS IS HOW TO DO THE
