TRAINING OF TRAINERS IN MATH (CONCRETE-PICTORIAL-ABSTRACT APPROACH IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS FOR KS1 TEACHERS- May 27-28, 2025 Session 4 Addition of Whole Numbers
According to the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, “the foundation for children’s mathematical development is established in the early years” ( Seefeldt & Wasik , 2006, p. 249).
“In order to have opportunities to learn math, children need firsthand experiences related to math, interaction with other children and adults concerning these experiences and time to reflect on the experiences” ( Seefeldt & Wasik , 2006, p. 250).

REKENREK also called an arithmetic rack or number rack has emerged as perhaps the most powerful of all models for young learners. designed to reflect the natural intuitions and informal strategies that young children bring to the study of numbers, addition, and subtraction. provides a visual model that encourages young learners to build numbers in groups of five and ten, to use doubling and halving strategies, and to count-on from known relationships to solve addition and subtraction problems. with consistent use over a short period of time, children develop a rich sense of numbers, and intuitive strategies for solving problem contexts that require addition and subtraction.

Pre-Activity Show the following using concrete objects: 1. 48 3. 791 2. 456
Group Activity Use concrete objects to solve for the assigned word problem.
1. Annie made a necklace with white and pink beads. She used 32 white beads and 27 pink beads. How many beads did she use in all to make the necklace? Use concrete objects to solve for the assigned word problem. 2. Jana also made her necklace. She used 32 pink beads and 27 white beads. How many beads in all did she use for the necklace? 3. Jane made a necklace with white and pink beads. She used 30 white beads and 15 more pink beads that white beads. How pink beads did she use to make the necklace? many beads did she use in all to make the necklace? 4. Jane made a necklace with white and pink beads. She used 30 white beads and 15 more pink beads than white beads. How many beads did she use in all to make the necklace? 5. In a basketball game blue team scored 123 while the red team scored 13 more than the blue team. What is the total score of the two teams?
