Lesson Plan
Teacher Candidate: Heather Rutherford
Title of Lesson: Numeral Identification
Grade Level(s): 1st Grade
Subject Area: Math
Location of the lesson (specify if in general or special education class): ILC Classroom
Grouping (highlight: 1:1, small group, large group)
This lesson relates to the 21st Century Skills by allowing the student to use objects
associated with math.
6. What background (prior) knowledge do the students need to have to be successful? If the
students do not have this knowledge how will they get it?
The student has prior knowledge of numerals by seeing them in her daily routine.
7. How will you address classroom and behavior management/grouping issues during the
lesson?
The student will be 1:1 with the teacher. In the classroom, other students will be in
small groups or 1:1 with other teachers. I will need to be aware of the noise level
and how the other activities could affect the students attention. The student is nonverbal, and often becomes self-injurious when she is frustrated. If she is exhibiting
self-injurious behavior, she will be directed to go to her safe spot, and show safe
hands, until she is calm enough to continue with her work.
8. Materials and Resources (What do you need? How/where will you get it??)
Students safe area with her math tasks. Teacher-developed Numeral Identification
Checklist, Cookie Jar task.
Rev 11-10-13
Turtle Task The student will take the turtle and place it on the
correct lily pad.
Cookie Jar Task (CBM) The student will point to the correct numeral
and place the cookie into the cookie jar.
iii. how the students will demonstrate their learning (Guided Practice)?
The student will follow the directive given and demonstrate an
understanding of the numeral.
3. What, if any, scaffolding and/or additional accommodations/modifications are needed for
specific student(s)?
The student has multiple disabilities. She has lower cognitive abilities and is
nonverbal. I will need to give ample processing time and use repetition, modeling,
and prompting. The student displays self-injurious behavior, and aggressive
behaviors towards staff. I will need to be cognizant of the students emotional state
and give her a break in her safe area, if/when needed.
4. Checking for Understanding- How will you check for understanding? Using Blooms
Taxonomy, what questions might you ask your students?
Knowledge
o Point to the number (insert numeral from 1 to 10)
Comprehend
o I will hand the student a turtle with a numeral on its back. The student will
match the turtle with the numeral to the lily pad with the same numeral.
Apply
Analyze
Synthesize
Evaluate
5. Re-teaching: What will you do differently if the student(s) do not understand the
concepts in the lesson?
I will use physical prompting (Hand-Over-Hand) to help the student match the
numerals.
6. How/where will students integrate (generalize) this learning into future
lessons/activities? This is your PURPOSE (how will this relate to real life?).
The student will need to be able to identify numerals in all aspects of life. Identifying
numerals is an important mathematic foundation.
7. Closure:
a. How will you review the content covered during the lesson so students can
demonstrate learning of the lesson concepts (this should be tied to the main
objective).
o The student will complete the Cookie Jar task.
