Lesson Plan 1
Lesson Plan 1
reach 15. How do you say that in standard form? I will continue this type of counting with a
variety of numbers. I will also have them count up and count down using the rekenrek. I will then
hand out a practice sheet with addition problems. They will have 4 minutes to complete as many
as they can. These are all problems within 10. Approximate time: 10 minutes
2. New Knowledge and/or Skills to Be Taught:
I will display the following problem on the SMARTboard. Rosa Bella is helping Mrs. Beitko
organize the books in her classroom. She finds 41 chapter books and 29 picture books. She
throws away 12 that are damaged. How many books are left in all? The students will work out
the problem on their personal white boards. The students will then use the 2Know class
responder system to select an answer from a multiple-choice list. I will have four answers
displayed on the board for the students to choose from. Approximate time: 10 minutes
3. Modeling: I Do
I will walk through the steps it takes to solve the given problem. I will draw pictures, use
manipulatives, etc. in order to solve the problem correctly. Approximate time: 5 minutes
4. Guided Practice: We Do
Students will be given place value charts. We will label each place with ones, tens, and
hundreds. I will show the number 14 to the students. We will label how many tens and how
many ones we see in the number. We will then use our place value disks to show 14, and we will
count 14 on our rekenrek. We will continue this with a variety of numbers. Approximate time: 25
minutes
5. Independent Student Practice: You Do
The students will be given a practice page. The first 5 problems the students will be asked to
show the number using place value disks or rekenrek. They will write the number in unit form an
in standard form. The next 10 problems the students will be given higher numbers and they
should model the number using as few place value disks as possible. For students that finish
early, they may use the pod computers to practice subtraction facts on Balloon Pop Subtraction
from Abcya.com. Seven students may use the computers at a time. Approximate time: 20
minutes
6. Culminating or Closing Procedure/Activity/Event:
We will have a class discussion about the problems they just did. How did the numbers
change? Discuss with your shoulder partner. I will call on a few students to respond.
Pedagogical Strategy (or Strategies):
direct instruction, cooperative learning groups, partner work
Differentiated Instruction:
If necessary, I will pull small groups to my kidney table while they are working on their practice sheet.
Student Assessment/Rubrics:
I will know if the students have met the objective for the lesson by observing them during fluency practice
and independent work. This will be a formative assessment for my instructional unit.
