### Year 3 Mathematics Lesson Plan: Addition and Subtraction with Two-Digit Numbers
**Lesson Title:** Addition and Subtraction with Two-Digit Numbers
**Duration:** 1 hour
**Grade Level:** Year 3
**Subject:** Mathematics
**Materials Needed:**
- Whiteboard and markers
- Number cards (0-9)
- Base 10 blocks or place value charts
- Graph paper
- Worksheets with addition and subtraction problems
- Pencils and erasers
- Interactive math games (optional)
**Objectives:**
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. Add two-digit numbers accurately.
2. Subtract two-digit numbers accurately.
3. Understand and apply regrouping (carrying and borrowing).
4. Solve word problems involving two-digit addition and subtraction.
**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 the relationship between addition and subtraction.

### Lesson Outline
#### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Warm-Up Activity:**
- Play a quick round of "Number Snap" with students in pairs. Give each pair a deck of number cards (0-9). They draw two cards, place them side by side to make a two-digit number, and the first to correctly state the sum or difference wins that round.
2. **Review Previous Knowledge:**
- Briefly review addition and subtraction of single-digit numbers and discuss how the same principles apply to two-digit numbers.
#### Direct Instruction (15 minutes)
1. **Explaining Two-Digit Addition:**
- Write a problem like 23 + 45 on the whiteboard.
- Demonstrate adding the ones place first (3 + 5 = 8), then the tens place (2 + 4 = 6), resulting in 68.
- Show examples with and without regrouping (e.g., 27 + 48).
2. **Explaining Two-Digit Subtraction:**
- Write a problem like 67 - 23 on the whiteboard.
- Demonstrate subtracting the ones place first (7 - 3 = 4), then the tens place (6 - 2 = 4), resulting in 44.
- Show examples with and without borrowing (e.g., 52 - 38).
3. **Visual Aids:**
- Use base 10 blocks or place value charts to visually represent the addition and subtraction problems for better understanding.
#### Guided Practice (15 minutes)
1. **Interactive Problems:**
- Distribute graph paper and have students practice several addition problems with regrouping and several subtraction problems with borrowing.
- Walk around the room to provide individual assistance and check for understanding.
2. **Word Problems:**
- Introduce simple word problems that require addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers. Example: "If Sally has 34 apples and she buys 29 more, how many does she have now?"
- Solve a couple of problems as a class, then let students try a few on their own.
#### Independent Practice (10 minutes)
1. **Worksheet Activity:**
- Hand out worksheets with a mix of addition and subtraction problems. Include some word problems to ensure students can apply their skills in different scenarios.
- Encourage students to show their work step-by-step.
#### Review and Closing (10 minutes)
1. **Review Key Concepts:**
- Discuss the different strategies used for addition and subtraction.
- Reinforce the importance of orderly calculation: ones place before tens place.
2. **Exit Ticket:**
- Each student will solve a two-digit addition and a two-digit subtraction problem before leaving the class to gauge their understanding.
#### Homework:
- Assign a worksheet with mixed addition and subtraction problems to reinforce the lesson.

### Assessment:
- **Formative Assessment:** Monitor student participation during guided practice and check their work during independent practice.
- **Summative Assessment:** Evaluate the completed worksheets and exit tickets to assess understanding and mastery of the concepts taught.
### Differentiation:
- **For students needing additional support:** Provide more visual aids such as counters, use simpler numbers initially, or offer one-on-one assistance.
- **For advanced students:** Introduce three-digit addition and subtraction problems for a greater challenge. Use more complex word problems.
### Reflection:
- After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future lessons. Collect feedback from students to understand their challenges and successes.
