Abstract

This elementary math intervention lesson plan integrates computational thinking (CT) and generative AI tools, focusing on addition strategies. It combines tech-enhanced experiences with hands-on activities to develop CT skills and content knowledge. This three-part lesson includes reviewing addition facts, engaging in interactive games, and creating digital content. Students practice pattern recognition, abstraction, problem decomposition, and step-by-step solution development. The plan emphasizes CT connections, engagement, and deepening understanding of addition strategies. This adaptable, multimedia approach offers a comprehensive learning experience blending traditional math instruction with modern tech tools across various grade levels and content areas.
