OVERVIEW – CLASS/TOPIC/READINESS – Describe class scenario, reasoning for topic choice given, and
its relevance to current events or grade level content. Describe previous learning that has prepared students for
this unit. – Goals I & II
In the first-grade class, during the mid to end of October, the students are fully ready to sharpen their math skills.
They have already mastered the art of counting to 10 and have completed adding numbers up to 10. Currently,
they are in the process of driving into teen numbers. The students were introduced to utilizing a number line to
enhance their addition skills. With each passing day, they are growing more comfortable with using the number
line as a valuable tool and are also becoming adept at applying manipulatives to add and subtract.
As the class progresses, the students are now prepared for the fascinating journey of subtraction. They have
successfully grasped the concept of adding numbers and are filled with enthusiasm to explore subtraction. The
teacher will introduce subtraction using various strategies, including incorporating manipulatives and visual aids.
These strategies will aid the students in understanding the intricacies of subtraction and will enhance their learning
experience. The use of manipulatives and visual aids will provide the students with a solid foundation for
mastering the art of subtraction.
In the class there is an Autistic student performing at grade level in reading and math, but easily becomes
frustrated and tends to run away from school when experiencing frustration. The ESL students require additional
assistance with academic vocabulary. The ED student deals with anger management issues and meets with the
school counselor twice a week or more, as necessary. Additionally, they spend 60 minutes daily in the ED room for
self-regulation. The ED student has also encountered law enforcement due to involvement in fights. The ADD
student is not currently on medication but is undergoing a medical evaluation for possible medication. They often
get off task and require redirection. The LD students are one grade level behind in reading and math. The class
consists of 20 students, 12 boys and 8 girls, with 6 African American or black, three Hispanic or Latino, and 11
white students. The socio-economic status of the class is medium.
