DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 1

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the pupils are expected to:
1. Define addition as “putting together” and subtraction as “taking away.”
2. Perform simple addition and subtraction of numbers up to 10.
3. Use the Hand Math Tool to find sums and differences.
4. Participate actively in group and individual activities.

II. Subject Matter


Topic: Addition and Subtraction
Grade Level: Grade 1
Time Allotment: 60 minutes
Materials: Hand Math Tool, Flashcards with numbers, Counters or paper circles, Manila paper,
markers, glue, scissors, Worksheet for practice
Values Integration: Cooperation, participation, and confidence in learning.

III. Procedure

A. Review (5 minutes)
Ask:
- “Who can show me two fingers?”
- “If I add one more finger, how many do I have?”
- “If I fold one finger down, how many are left?”
Review simple counting, addition, and subtraction through finger play.

B. Motivation (5 minutes)
Show the Hand Math Tool (cardboard hands on a circle). Ask:
“Do you want to know how these hands can help us solve math problems?”
Tell the pupils that each hand represents numbers 1–5. Together, both hands can show numbers up to
10.

C. Presentation (15 minutes)


1. Addition Activity
- Write an example: 2 + 3 = ?
- Ask a volunteer to raise 2 fingers on one hand and 3 fingers on the other hand.
- Count all the raised fingers together aloud.
- Say: “2 plus 3 equals 5.”
- Write 2 + 3 = 5 on the board.

2. Subtraction Activity
- Write: 5 - 2 = ?
- Raise 5 fingers on both hands.
- Fold 2 fingers to show “taking away.”
- Count how many are left standing.
- Say: “5 minus 2 equals 3.”
- Write 5 - 2 = 3 on the board.

D. Guided Practice (15 minutes)


1. Divide the class into small groups.
2. Give each group a mini hand math tool or ask them to trace their own hands.
3. Provide simple equations (e.g., 3 + 2, 4 + 1, 6 - 3, etc.).
4. Have the students show their answers using their “hands.”
5. Check and discuss answers together.

E. Independent Practice (10 minutes)


Students complete a worksheet with 5 addition and 5 subtraction problems.
Encourage them to use their hands or draw hands for counting.
Example problems:
1. 2 + 4 = ___
2. 3 + 1 = ___
3. 5 - 2 = ___
4. 6 - 4 = ___
5. 4 + 5 = ___

F. Evaluation (5 minutes)
Ask:
1. What is addition?
2. What is subtraction?
3. Show me 4 + 3 using your hands.
4. Show me 6 - 2 using your hands.

IV. Assignment
At home, trace your own hands on paper. Write three addition and three subtraction problems below
them.
Example:
■ + ■ = ___
■ - ■ = ___

V. Remarks
This lesson encourages kinesthetic learning (learning by doing). By using their own hands and
interactive materials, pupils develop a clear visual and tactile understanding of addition and subtraction.
