**Lesson Plan: Year 2 Mathematics - Addition and Subtraction with Two-Digit Numbers**
**Objective:**
- Students will be able to perform addition and subtraction with two-digit numbers using various strategies.
- Students will gain confidence in solving real-world problems that require addition and subtraction.
**Materials Needed:**
- Whiteboard and markers
- Number cards (two-digit numbers)
- Manipulatives (e.g., base-ten blocks, counters)
- Worksheets with addition and subtraction problems
- Visual aids (posters showing steps for addition and subtraction)
- Interactive whiteboard or projector (optional)
- Math journals
**Common Core Standards:**
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.5: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

**Lesson Duration: 60 minutes**
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up (5 minutes):**
- Start with a short number game involving addition and subtraction to activate prior knowledge. For example, ask students to quickly add or subtract small numbers using their fingers or mental math.
2. **Objective Introduction (5 minutes):**
- State the lesson's objective: "Today, we will learn how to add and subtract two-digit numbers using different strategies. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to solve problems with confidence!"
---
**Direct Instruction (15 minutes):**
1. **Review Place Value (5 minutes):**
- Briefly review the concept of place value (tens and ones) using a visual aid. Demonstrate how two-digit numbers are composed of tens and ones (e.g., 34 = 3 tens and 4 ones).
2. **Modeling Addition (5 minutes):**
- Show students how to add two-digit numbers by breaking down the numbers into tens and ones (e.g., 34 + 27).
- Use base-ten blocks or drawings to illustrate how to combine the tens first (30 + 20 = 50) and then the ones (4 + 7 = 11).
- Demonstrate adding the results (50 + 11 = 61).
- Write the problem vertically and demonstrate regrouping (carrying) if necessary.
3. **Modeling Subtraction (5 minutes):**
- Similarly, break down subtraction into tens and ones using base-ten blocks or drawings (e.g., 53 - 29).
- Show how to subtract the tens first (50 - 20 = 30) and then the ones (3 - 9), explaining borrowing (regrouping) if required.
- Write the problem vertically and demonstrate regrouping (borrowing) if necessary.

**Guided Practice (15 minutes):**
1. **Interactive Whiteboard (optional) (7 minutes):**
- Solve a few addition and subtraction problems as a class using an interactive whiteboard.
- Call on students to help solve each step, ensuring everyone understands the process.
2. **Partner Work (8 minutes):**
- Pair up students and give each pair a set of number cards.
- Instruct students to create their own two-digit addition and subtraction problems and solve them using manipulatives or drawings.
- Walk around the classroom to monitor progress and provide assistance as needed.
---
**Independent Practice (15 minutes):**
1. **Worksheet Activity (10 minutes):**
- Distribute worksheets with a variety of addition and subtraction problems.
- Encourage students to use the strategies learned (breaking into tens and ones, using base-ten blocks, vertical method) to solve the problems.
2. **Math Journals (5 minutes):**
- Ask students to pick one problem from their worksheet and explain in their math journals how they solved it.
- Encourage them to use drawings or words to describe their thinking process.
---
**Conclusion (5 minutes):**
1. **Review and Recap (3 minutes):**
- Review the key concepts covered in the lesson (addition, subtraction, breaking into tens and ones, regrouping).
- Ask a few students to share their problem-solving strategies with the class.
2. **Exit Ticket (2 minutes):**
- Give each student a simple addition or subtraction problem on an index card as an exit ticket.
- Quickly check their responses as they finish and leave the classroom.
---
**Assessment:**
- Formative assessment through observation during guided and independent practice.
- Review of math journal entries and exit tickets.
- Written worksheets to gauge individual understanding.
**Differentiation:**
- Provide additional support and manipulatives for students who may struggle with the concepts.
- Offer challenge problems to advanced students, such as adding and subtracting three-digit numbers or word problems.
**Homework:**
- Assign a few addition and subtraction problems to reinforce the concepts learned in class.
