7. The teacher demonstrates the learning task for the child initially, and then the child works on his own.
8. The children construct their own understanding of addition as (5 together with 0 is the same as 5; 4+1)
9. Children are curious learners; they are in a stage where they discover the world. This activity responds to children’s way of learning through using manipulatives to seek information.
18. The process is going to be like this; 5 green clips on the left side of the 1st strip, 4 green clips on the left side of the 2nd strip, 3 green clips on the left side of the 3rd strip, and so on. On the right side of the strips the red clips would be placed (0, 1, 2, counting up).
19. Model the language that used in the assessment: 5 together with 0 give us/are 5, etc.
25. Begins to see a pattern in simple number stories/equations (5 together with 0 is the same as 5; 4+1= 5, 3+2= 5, 1+4= 5, 0+5=5); successfully completes assessment of conservation of number;
27. Understand the pattern in simple number stories/equations (up to and including 5); successfully completes conservation of number assessment; demonstrates simple number stories/equations concretely with manipulatives; begins to write simple equations to demonstrate addition activities; begins to practice and to memorize simple number stories/equations
28. Uses equations to add (up to and including 8); writes simple equations to demonstrate addition activities;

32. See if you need to large up the strips for the child.
33. See if you need to have just one card for the number 5 rather than having one card per a strip.Key Words:<br />Addition, count-down, count-up, together with, is the same of, writing equation, strips, clips<br />
![Learning Task: <br /> Addition Story of Number 5.<br />Description: <br />In studying the number sense and numeration, students learn to demonstrate an awareness of addition. To have them be able to do that, we can use the manipulatives to make stories about number. Stories are like equations where the child develops an understanding of ‘together with’ is the same of ‘+’ sign for a range of numbers (as the activity; 0+5 is the same of 5+0, 1+4 is the same of 4+1, etc). Also, they can begin writing simple equations to demonstrate the addition story.<br />Learning Task Adapted from:<br />Child Care Center Activities (Arabic Class).<br />Age Group:<br />6 and above years (but you might have a younger child who has advanced abilities)<br />Subject Area:<br />Mathematics.<br />Subject Standard: <br />Number Sense and Numeration<br />Subject Topic:<br />Addition <br />Background Information:<br />Addition is a start up for the child’s later school achievements. Not only that, but it is for their daily life experiences. Addition is not hard concept to teach it for young children, especially who are ready for the school. You have to make the experience fun for the child as much as you can so it would be easier for her. Counting by using small objects is the ideal way to have fun experience for the child. Also, starting with the small numbers is a way to get the child to have the idea behind addition topic.<br />Student Characteristics Accommodated: <br />,[object Object],Student Learning Outcomes:<br />Demonstrating an awareness of addition (usually completed by second semester of Kg2)<br />Prerequisite Concepts, Skills, & Values:<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/learningtaskactivity-110515164850-phpapp01/85/Learning-task-activity-1-320.jpg)
