Lesson Plan Format V

Name: Alex Vetter Date: Thursday, March 4th

Activity Name: Making Sense and Use of a Number Line

Subject Area(s): Math
Grade Level of Children Second Grade

Materials:Number line, 100 chart, yardstick for pointing, computer with SmartBoard, student
workbook, riddle cards, Crack The Code Challenge sheet, Base 10 blocks manipulatives

Rationale: The students are learning that number lines and a 100 chart can be used as
counting tools and different strategies can be used when utilizing these resources.
Understanding that a number can be broken into ones and tens will help them count more
efficiently.

Objectives: As a result of this activity the students will use their listening skills to listen to a
riddle that tells us what number we are looking for. Using the number line or hundreds chart
as math tools, the students will show their teamwork skills to work in pairs to find the mystery
number. If applicable, addition and subtraction will be used. Using previous knowledge of
using a hundreds chart, place value, and having number line sense, the students will utilize
their resources, apply it to their learning, and share with the class what strategy they used to
find the number. The students will also break apart a number by ones and tens to add or
subtract.

Procedure:
Introduction (Anticipatory Set)
● Transition- counting
● Review- Ones place, tens place, and example numbers
● Riddle game
● Math workbook- 10.3
● If finished early- Crack The Code Challenge

Teaching Strategies:
By using classroom posters, a hands on 100 chart, the SmartBoard, our workbooks, Base 10
blocks, and individual handouts, this lesson will offer several different classroom resources
and manipulatives.

Closure:
After the students finish their “On Your Own” lesson in their workbook, they can complete a
Crack The Code Challenge game at the end if time allows.

Assessment:
● Signaled responses- thumbs up if you agree
● Verbal responses from individuals
● Formative assessment- reviewing and assessing their “On Your Own” lesson to see
what they’re understanding and scaffold as necessary
