**Grade 2 Mathematics Lesson Plan: Addition and Subtraction (Two-Digit Numbers)**
**Objective:**
Students will be able to add and subtract two-digit numbers with and without regrouping.
**Materials Needed:**
- Whiteboard and markers
- Number cards
- Base ten blocks or manipulatives
- Worksheets
- Pencils
- Math journals
- Interactive whiteboard or projector (optional)
**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.
**Duration:** 60 Minutes

### **Warm-Up (10 Minutes)**
**Activity: Mental Math Practice**
1. Start with some simple mental math problems to activate prior knowledge. Example questions:
- What is 10 + 5?
- What is 20 - 8?
- What happens when we add 9 + 14?
2. Write a few two-digit addition and subtraction problems on the board and ask students to solve them mentally or with fingers, as a quick review.
### **Introduction to New Material (10 Minutes)**
1. **Addition with Regrouping:**
- Explain that sometimes when we add numbers, the sum of the ones place is more than 9, and we need to carry over to the tens place.
- Example: 27 + 35
- Write it down in column form:
```
27
+35
----
```
- Add the ones place (7 + 5 = 12). Write 2 in the ones place and carry over 1 to the tens place.
- Add the tens (1 + 2 + 3 = 6).
- Thus, 27 + 35 = 62.
2. **Subtraction with Regrouping:**
- Explain regrouping in subtraction where borrowing is needed if the digit in the minuend is smaller than the digit in the subtrahend.
- Example: 52 - 28
- Write it down in column form:
```
52
-28
----
```
- Can’t subtract 8 from 2 in the ones place, so borrow 1 from the tens place.
- 12 - 8 = 4 in ones place and 4 - 2 = 2 in tens place.
- Thus, 52 - 28 = 24.
### **Guided Practice (15 Minutes)**
1. **Interactive Whiteboard Practice:**
- Utilize an interactive whiteboard or projector to show examples.
- Solve problems with the whole class. Ask for volunteers to come up and solve the problems on the board.
- Example problems might include:
- 46 + 38
- 73 - 47
2. **Pair Work:**
- Pair up students and give each pair a set of number cards (two-digit numbers).
- Have them create and solve their own addition and subtraction problems using the cards, checking each other’s work.
### **Independent Practice (15 Minutes)**
1. Distribute worksheets with addition and subtraction problems (with and without regrouping).
2. Circulate the room to support students, clarify misconceptions, and provide immediate feedback.
3. Encourage students to solve the problems and write their solutions in their math journals, ensuring they show their work step-by-step.
### **Closing Activity and Assessment (10 Minutes)**
1. **Review & Discuss:**
- Bring the class together to review some of the problems from the worksheet.
- Discuss any common mistakes and interesting strategies students used.
2. **Exit Ticket:**
- Provide an exit ticket with 2-3 problems (one addition and one subtraction) for students to solve as a quick formative assessment of their understanding.
- Example Exit Ticket Problems:
- 25 + 47 =
- 64 - 29 =
### **Differentiation:**
1. **For Struggling Students:**
- Provide additional scaffolding, such as step-by-step guides and more visuals.
- Use manipulatives like base ten blocks to physically represent the addition and subtraction process.
2. **For Advanced Students:**
- Offer challenging problems that involve three steps or larger numbers.
- Encourage them to explain different strategies for solving the problems.
### **Homework:**
- Assign a worksheet with a mix of addition and subtraction problems for further practice at home.
### **Reflection:**
- After the lesson, take notes on what worked well and what didn't. Reflect on students' engagement and understanding based on their participation, the exit tickets, and the homework. Adjust future lessons accordingly.
