1. Topic-
|
| Simple Mathematical Concepts |
| |
|
2. Content-
|
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Students will be able to add and subtract up to 20
2.Students will learn social skills and learn to work as a team
3.It will improve their simple counting and number skills essential
for later math |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.The students will be engaged and excited about learning simple
math concepts
2.They will learn to work with others to accomplish a single goal
3.They will improve their math skills and learn simple adding and
subtracting |
| |
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
| Mathematical cubes that connect to represent number, Flashcards,
paper, markers, SMART board |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1.Make a game approach
2.Ask who has ever counted with blocks before.
3.Hand out multicolor blocks to each group of students |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1.We will demonstrate how the lesson will work by choosing a flashcard
and then matching the addition or subtraction problem with the same
amount of connecting blocks and then pop the number balloon on the
SMART board
2. Have a student try it in front of the class with the teachers help.
3.Ask if their are any questions before we begin the actual lesson. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1.It will be monitored by the teacher
2.Guided by teacher and teacher assistants
3. Teacher will assist with SMART board
|
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.The teacher will individually go around and ask each student a
question by themselves and mark their progress.
2.Teacher will have the students come up to the SMART board by themselves
to pop the correct number given.
|
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1.If the SMART board was having technical difficulties we would
just use the Flashcards and counting blocks to reach an end result.
2.Special needs children can be integrated into a group with standard
children to have more assistance.
3.Bigger blocks can be provided. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1.Ask questions to the students as a class about adding and subtracting.
2.Ask each group to demonstrate the lesson to the class without the
help of the teacher.
3.Grade this lesson based on overall understanding of each student. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1.Say "Separate all of your blocks so there is only one three in
each connecting stick." to help with cleanup procedure.
2.Ask the students what they learned. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1.This lesson was a great way to integrate technology even into
a lower elementary grade level with mathematical concepts.
2.The students enjoyed "popping" the balloons and learned in a fun
way rather than in a lecture. |
| |
|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| We loved our lesson. The students really enjoyed using the technology
and taking turns going up to pop the balloons. We could improve this
lesson by adding audio or music in the background. Also, having the
children practice writing the numbers down would be a good idea to
help with number writing skills. |
