LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE
In this lesson…
Overview Students will identify, create, describe, and extend patterns using concrete
materials, tables and pictures.
Standards of The student will identify, describe, create, Express, and extend number patterns
found in objects, pictures, numbers, and tables.
Learning
Essential Questions
Students will be able to…
Objectives
Identify and predict number patterns.
Learning Target
Necessary Prior What is a number pattern?
Knowledge
Chromebook, White board, dry erase marker, pencil and worksheet
Materials
PowerPoint containing terms and examples.
Introduction/Hook
The students will first look at a PowerPoint I created so we can get a familiar
understanding before we begin to learn. We will then do a worksheet as a
group and identify and explain the correct answers. We will then get the
whiteboards out and use dry erase markers to create our own drawing of figure
Instructional patterns. The students will identify the rule by using different color erase
Activities & markers.
Strategies

Rule- expression that relates two variables and is written in the form of
an equation
Key Vocabulary or
Input- starting numbers in a number pattern
Concepts Output- the numbers produced after a rule is applied to the input
Pattern- repeated arrangement of numbers, shapes, colours and so on.

1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?

To create this lesson plan I talked to my cooperating teacher, Ms.Coates, along with My VTFT teacher. I had my
cooperating teacher at my lesson plan along with my VTFT teacher.
2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
this lesson plan was remedial math and it's something that the students will have to learn in order to pass their
SOL’s coming up in the spring.

3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?

The whole group lesson plan went extremely well. I handed out blocks for the students to visually create the
number patterns as well as giving them the option to draw them or use numbers.

4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began?

One adjustment that was needed was having the students work and pairs in order for them to fully understand
the concept.

5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?

I anticipated all the materials I needed very well.

6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)

 The assessment I used was very effective as all the students enjoyed it and we're prepared for it. There were
some questions but we moved past them together as they did enjoy the assessment.

7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of
the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)

At the end of my lesson I asked the students if they enjoyed the lesson or not most say they did not because it
was a little difficult but when I asked if they learn something almost 95% of them said they did.

8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to it’s success?

My time spent preparing for my lesson was very necessary as I had to print and staple worksheets plan the
activities and find enough blocks for each student as I anticipated they would each want to be a part of that
activity.
9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?
The only thing I made you differently is shortened the math packet and do some together and some
individually.

10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
