FRENCH First Grade Math Unit – Addition Strategies to 20 (Stratégies d’addition)

Looking for a comprehensive, complete math unit in French for teaching strategies for addition within 20 (les stratégies d’addition), designed for kindergarten and/or first grade students?

This “Math pour la première année” unit includes 10 complete lesson plans, 10 worksheets, 10 interactive notebook pages, an assessment, materials for a warm-up game, vocabulary cards, a référentiel, fluency cards, and more!

This unit has been specially crafted to provide young learners with a fun and enriching approach (via a workshop model) to explore a variety of addition strategies.

I have put TEN of my addition jusqu’à 20 lesson plans together for you, along with warm-up activities, whole-group activities, partner practice activities, independent worksheets & interactive notebook options, and more!

These lessons and materials have all been tested with my own students. They have been a huge factor in helping my students really master and understand measurement and using correct French vocabulary to do so.

This math unit includes:

• Ten pre-made, easy-to-follow lesson plans. Each shows the skills being taught/practiced, materials lists, warm-up/show what you know ideas, a whole-group lesson, and a partner practice activity
• A variety of warm-up activities, including fluency cards and flash cards
• A hands-on partner activity for each day
• An independent math worksheet AND interactive notebook option to close out each lesson
• Clear instructions for structuring your math block
• A post-unit assessment to help you know if your students understand a variety of addition strategies and how to effectively choose which one to use at the end of the unit
• Various options for creating your student partner lists ahead of time

**Please note that some activities will require manipulates. I have done my best to only include manipulates that are found in most classrooms (snap cubes, two-sided counters, etc.). If you are missing any of the suggested manipulates, you are welcome to substitute for whatever you have!
