Lesson Title: Double Digit Math

Objectives:
 Students will be able to…Add double-digit numbers with the help of base ten blocks or
any other tool
 Students will be able to…Subtract double-digit numbers using the regrouping principle
State Standards:
 Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on knowledge of place value and
properties of operations.
 Demonstrate fluency with addition and related subtraction facts through 20.

Context:
In this lesson, students will learn the basic skill of adding and subtracting double-digit numbers.
This skill is essential fact to learn as they will use it for the rest of their lives inside and outside
of the classroom. Before this lesson, students will learn how to add and subtract a single-digit
number from a double-digit. Doing that lesson first will set them up to add on this part. Students
will have to know how to add and subtract two single-digit numbers and be familiar with the
fundamentals. After this lesson, students will be expected to use this skill and work out word
problems using multiple numbers. I am teaching students how to set up and work through the
problems, which they will need to do in the next unit. This topic is essential to learn at this age,
to build from in the future.

Data:
During this lesson, students will be grouped into three different groups. There will be a low,
medium, and high group. The data will be collected from previous lessons, worksheets, exams,
and benchmark testing. If students struggled with the previous adding and subtracting unit, then
they will be placed in the lower group because they will most likely also need extra support for
this unit. The medium group will be students who can work independently after learning the skill
and do not have too many questions. My high group of students is the ones who did well in the
previous unit and are expected to perform well in this one as well. There will be several
assignments that will be done during this lesson to gauge student understanding. There will also
be a test given at the end to see if they will stay in the same groups for the word problem lesson.

Materials:
The students will need a few materials for this lesson. For the teacher-directed group, they will
need a whiteboard and marker. These are materials that will already be in the classroom and at
the same group table ready for them to use. During the collaborative station, they will need base
ten blocks and the worksheet that goes along with it. The base ten blocks will be provided by the
school and will already be in the classroom, on the carpet ready for them to begin their paper.
The last station will only require them to use their computers to play a game. These are
computers that the school provided to each student for educational purposes.

Procedures:

Introduction- 5 minutes
This specific lesson will take place on the third day of the unit. After the students understand
what double-digit math is. When the math block starts, students will be seated in their chairs, and
I will be at the front of the room. I will explain the 3 different stations that they will rotate
through. I will warn the students that when they are not in the group with me, they must be on
task and working. There will be something to submit or turn in so if they don’t turn in the
completed work, they will not get a sticker for their chart at the end of the day. There will be a
20-minute timer on the front of the board so students will know when it is time to rotate each
time.

Teacher Directed- 20 minutes

The students will be working with me for this rotation. I will set up the group at the back table,
students will sit around it, and each gets a whiteboard and marker. I will lead the group by
writing a problem on my board and showing the students. They will copy it to theirs and work it
out. Once they have it solved, they will turn the board and reveal their answer. If they get it right,
they will earn a point. Once they reach 10 points, they will earn a sticker for their chart. If a
student gets the answer wrong, I will work it through with them individually and see where their
mistake occurred. If they or multiple students are making the same mistake, then I will know it is
something I should re-teach to the whole class. Depending on which group I have will determine
the level of difficulty that the questions are. I will do both addition and subtraction to see which
they struggle with more. There will be a lot of one-on-one learning during this station so they can
ask questions that they might not ask in front of the whole class.

Collaborative- 20 minutes

This group will be hosted on the carpet in the front of the room. Each student will get a partner in
their group. Each student will have a paper with 10 questions and answer boxes. Students will
each get a handful of base ten blocks to use. Partner #1 will take the first number in the problem
and Partner #2 will take the second. They will count their respective number and put together
that many blocks, after they both have the right number, they will combine them and count out
the total. Once they have the answer, they will write it on paper. Ex: The problem is 45+29.
Charlie counts out 45 blocks and Luke counts out his 29. Once they combine them and discover
the answer is 74, they will copy it to the paper. Students must turn in this assignment at the end
of the period. If they don’t have the correct answers or don’t have at least 8 of them done, then I
will talk to the pair and see what the problem was. All students will have the same problems,
regardless of the level they are at. When it is time to switch, they will turn in their papers in the
turn-in bin at the front of the room.

Independent Digital Content- 20 minutes

Students will be back at their seats for the final station. They will be working on their personal
computers and playing cool math games. Students will get a list of the games they have to
choose from that teach double-digit math. During this rotation, students' computers will be
locked to that browser so they can’t get off task and do other things. At the end of the station,
they will submit a screenshot of their high score to an assignment in google classroom. If they
don’t submit anything, then there will be consequences for not being on task and doing the
assignment. This will reinforce the individual learning and skills that they need to strengthen.
They can do either addition or subtraction games or a mix of both.

Closure- 10 minutes

All the students will return to their seats and put all remaining computers away. I will then pass
out the exit ticket. This will only have two questions on it, one addition and one subtraction. This
is to gauge if any students are still struggling with this material or if they have a good
understanding. Students will turn this into the same bin that they turned in their other assignment
into. This will determine what group they are in and how I introduce the word problem unit the
following day. If any students are behind, I will pull them throughout the week for independent
help. Students will be praised and rewarded for good behavior and staying on task. We will then
move on to the reading block of the day.

Rationale:

1. Cool Math Games- I chose this form of multimedia because it is a math-based gaming
program that allows students to choose from many different games. This allows for a
sense of choice and freedom, and they can play a game that they are interested in. It gives
them a fun way to practice their math facts that is not the standard paper and pencil
method. Students can use this website on their own and do not need the teacher to help
them. This website is free, so they can easily access it even on their own time. I know this
program is of high quality because it is used by many educators and schools for many
years. It has a lot of great reviews and is trusted by many teachers. Using the Lori criteria,
the quality of the content is good and well-designed. The learning goals are clearly stated
and keep the students on task. Some of the games offer feedback and you can see your
progress as you advance to different levels. There are quizzes within the website that you
can take and get feedback from that. This app keeps students motivated by encouraging
them and providing positive rewards. The design quality is fun and engaging for small
kids. This app is very usable and easy for all kids to use and engage with. It meets the
state standards because it has all types of math and learning for all grade levels and skill
levels. I enjoy using this game in my classroom because it serves as a brain break for
students. This is accessible for all students because it is easy to use, and they have
tutorials on how to work through each game.

2. Google Classroom- This is the main form of technology that will be used in my
classroom. This is where students will view, submit, and turn in all assignments. They
can also communicate with me through this platform. It supports students because it is
helpful for them to have all their assignments laid out in front of them in an easy-to-view
manner. It is high quality because it is used by a lot of schools nationwide and has a lot of
good reviews on the app store. The quality of content is high, and there are a lot of
different features you can utilize on the app. There are clear learning goals that the
teacher can put in class while incorporating this feature into their classroom. Google
Classroom makes it easy to view all assignments and posts the teacher makes. teachers
can post feedback on assignments to kids directly. The presentation of the app is very
customizable and easy for the teacher to personalize. It is very interactive for the teacher
and students. Allowing for feedback and interactive usage from everyone. It meets the
standards of the state by being an educational learning app. Most students can navigate
this app by themselves and find all assignments easily. Students can hook up text-to-
speech for students who have learning disabilities regarding reading.
