Lesson time:        5 days @ 45 minute class periods

Number of students:        25

Grade:                3 - 7

Miscellaneous Information: Regular education/Special education will have modifications with the educator’s judgment. The included content area provided in this lesson is social studies and language arts.

Objective:

Students will: 1). Associate the distinction connecting the number and the written statement.

           2). Recognize facts through expanded form and written form.

           3). Recognize the concept of place values using decimals.

Standards addressed:

        M2N1

        M2D1

        M2P1

        NCTM Standards:

        Problem solving, Communication, Analysis, Associations, Number Sense and Numeration

Day 1 - Anticipatory Set:

        As the students are seated, the teacher will begin to show the students the items in the classroom that have meaning with numbers The teacher will then question the students on the different examples that can be provided outside of the classroom that deal with numbers and the associations that are engaged with the numbers.

Teaching/Instructional Process:

        Vocabulary words will be presented by the teacher for the lesson. The words will be presented on the active board and reinforcement will be provided daily on the following words:

  • Ones place        
  • Tens place
  • Hundreds place
  • Thousands place
  • Decimal
  • Tenths place
  • Hundredths place
  • Thousandths place
  • Ten thousandths place
  • Place value
  • Digit
  • Expanded form
  • Standard form
  • Written form

As the vocabulary is being presented, explanation of every number and its place value will depend on the amount of the digit. The beginning objective of comparing a number will be informed to the students as the written word is shown as well. Implementation of the overhead projector will be used as the teacher writes the numbers one through 10 on it and the students will read the words aloud. The teacher will choose ten students to mark the written words next to the numbers on the overhead projector.

Guided Practice and Monitoring:

        The students will be divided into five groups with five students in each group. Each group of students will begin to move around the classroom and pick up ten items that are associated with one another. Each of the groups will be instructed by the teacher to complete this activity as a team. When the students are finished gathering their items, they will return to their desks. After all the students have returned to their desks, each group will go to the front of the classroom and show the items that were gathered during their walk around the classroom. The other students must monitor the other groups’ items to see if the items are associated with one another or if they fall in different categories.

Closure:

The teacher will emphasize the significance of written words and the relation of numbers. The students will take out their math journals and document their response on the lesson that was provided for the day, their preferred part and the most demanding part of the lesson. The objective for tomorrow’s lesson will be introduced by the teacher that will continue to develop on the material of today’s lesson and will present the lesson of expanded form and written form.
