Standard 5 Application of Content

The teacher understands how to connect and use differing perspectives to

engage learners in critical/creative thinking and collaborative problem
solving related to authentic local and global issues.

I have met Standard 5 Application of Content as indicated by the lesson plan

on teaching fractions. This lesson plan is designed to teach third graders how
to conceptually learn about fractions as parts of a whole. This lesson plan is
designed to engage learners to learn about fractions through multiple ways
of learning. Students will learn about fractions as part of a whole through
children literature, the use of manipulatives and by using real life examples
which will engage learners in creative thinking and collaborative problem
solving. I have understood how to connect these concepts in a way that will
be useful for different learning styles and get students thinking and relating
to the problem at hand.
