Blended Learning Lesson Plan

Lesson Title: Math: Learning to use symbols, double digits, and more!

Objectives:
Students will be able to use and recognize the symbols <,>, and = in mathematical problems
Students will be able to solve double-digit and single-digit number problems.
State Standards:

1.NSBT.1
Extend the number sequence to:

a. count forward by ones to 120 starting at any number;

b. count by fives and tens to 100, starting at any number;

1.NSBT.3 Compare two two-digit numbers based on the meanings of the tens and ones digits,
using the words greater than, equal to, or less than.
1.NSBT.4 Add through 99 using concrete models, drawings, and strategies based on place value
to:

a. add a two-digit number and a one-digit number, understanding that sometimes it is

necessary to compose a ten (regroup);
b. add a two-digit number and a multiple of 10.

Context: These objectives and standards are following up with what the students learned in
kindergarten. This lesson will be a review but will also be introducing the new mathematical
symbols. Students will bring in previous knowledge when it comes to number sense and base ten
that we also review prior to this lesson. I will be teaching how to add and multiply multiple digit
numbers which will help the students understand the future lessons when we get ready to learn
about adding and multiplying larger numbers and sums.
Data: Students will be grouped into 3’s to 4’s randomized groups. They will be groups will be
randomized for the first day but each day we work on the lesson I will change the groups based
on students knowledge. I will collect and analyze the data with an online quiz (Socrative) that
will be given at the end of each class.
Materials: List all materials used (i.e. websites, apps, pencils, iPads, computers, worksheets,
diagrams, textbooks, etc.)

Procedures:
Introduction (10 minutes): Students will come to sit on the carpet after morning
announcements. I will start with an interactive review that I found on Smart Exchange; it consists
of addition problems and fly swatting. It will get my students brain flowing for the upcoming
lesson I am about to introduce. I will then introduce the lesson by going over what each symbol
means (<, >, =) and how to use/read them in the same math problems from the review. I will
continue to go over the necessary content to make sure they understand the lesson well enough to
be split into groups of 3 or 4. The goal of the introduction is to introduce the lesson from last
week to the children and teach them about the different symbols. 

Teacher Directed (10 minutes): In this group, I will give each student a set of laminated note
cards that have <, >, = symbols on them. I will also have them grab their personal white board
markers from the assigned bins. I will then write two numbers on my whiteboard and have then
copy it onto their whiteboard and ask them to insert the correct symbol into the blanks. I will do
this several times to make sure they fully understand the difference. I will also use this time to
analyze each child differently by walking around. I will allow them to shout out the answers to
let me know that they are understanding. The goal for this small group is so that the students
have more practice with me in a smaller group in case they have questions or need that one-on-
one help.

Collaborative (10 minutes): In this session I will have students get into three different groups so
that they will be able to help each other with the previous lesson. In each group, they will have
the task of separating mini marshmallows into sets of 5s and 10s going up to 100 onto the plate
provided. Using marshmallows will incline the students to count correctly and try their very
hardest because once I come around and check off their answers I will allow them to eat them as
a snack. The goal for this collaborative group session is to keep the kids engaged while allowing
them to show me what they remember from the previous class sessions.
Independent Digital (10 minutes): Students will grab a computer from the computer station and
log into IXL.com where there will be a total of three independent assignments for them to
complete. It will be one assignment based on the review and lessons we just learned. I will
receive feedback from IXL.com (https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-1) through the students
logging in. This will let me know where each student is so I will know how to group them for the
next class session. The goal of this independent digital content part is for extra practice on each
lesson just so the kids will understand the lesson. 

Closure (10 minutes): I will end the class by telling each student to clean up their area and grab
their laptops. I will then ask the students to yell out one thing they enjoyed/learned about today’s
lesson. Lastly, I will explain that they will have a Socrative to complete, only five questions. I
will be prepping for lunchtime as they will be completing this. The goal of the closure is to come
back together as a class and let me know how well I did at teaching the lesson. The goal is also to
collect data from the students to assess myself on how well I taught the class and to use the
information for the next class. 

Rationale:
IXL.com:
IXL is a website that many people and teachers like to use. Teachers can have all
their students under their classroom profile by having the join code for the students. This
way they will be able to assign lessons such as math, reading, and some sciences to the
students. IXL is high quality because the assignments are helpful to the students since
they provide mini quizzes and incentives when you get the answer right. When it comes
to the LORI criteria, IXL is good for motivation, feedback and adaptation because you
must reach 100 in order to move on and receive positive feedback. It is also good for
reusability because any teacher could use this multiple times for different lessons.
Socrative:
Socrative is a website and tool for teachers that acts as an efficient way to monitor
your students learning. It is a piece of multimedia because it is a website that the students
can access on their devices. Many of my teachers have used it and it has proven to be
beneficial because the teachers can use it to analyze their students’ knowledge on the
lesson they just taught. When it comes to the LORI criteria, Socrative is good for learning
goal alignment because teachers can use the data collected from it to know how to adjust
the lesson for kids to meet their goals. It is good for reusability because if the teacher
finds this beneficial for collecting data, then the teacher can use this to continue to collect
data.
Math Review Smart Board Lesson:
 The Smart Board is an interactive white board that has been integrated into
classrooms all over, which means it is of high quality. It is used to play video, teach
lessons, etc. It is multimedia because it is used in a lot of lessons and is a way to keep
kids engaged. It supports my objectives because it will be what is used to teach the
lesson. When it comes to the LORI criteria, it is good for presentation design and content
quality because everything is fully creative. There is a Smart Exchange website that has
lessons on it that you can upload to use in your own classroom. Things show up clear and
presentable if the teacher follows the CRAAP Principles.
