3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Students will learn habits for staying healthy
2. Students will learn parts of a nutrition label
3.Students will learn how to use a nutrition label as a tool for healthy
choices
4. Student will use data from GLYPH to complete number sentences in
addition, subtraction and multiplication
5. Students will apply guidelines for cooperative learning through
activities in this lesson. |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.Completion of a GLYPH that illustrates student's habits when they
are sick
2. Completion of Nutrition label exploration and group questionnaire
3. Completion of Data Analysis and number sentence construction |
| |
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
| Construction paper, scissors, glue, tissues, markers or crayons,
Germs Make me Sick! By Melvin Berger, Overhead projector, and Promethean
Active board. |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. I arrange for School nurse visits the class to discuss and share
with students strategies for staying healthy including: healthy eating,
exercise and germ prevention
2. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1.Instruction for H and S GLYPH is given using overhead
2. Read aloud Germs Make me Sick and showing photos of actual microorganisms |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Instruction for H and S GLYPH include showing examples of completed
GLYPH
2. Completion of Literacy through movement for germs make me sick!
|
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. Students complete GLYPH and answer questions to create data.
2. Students then analyze data from GLYPHS to create their own number
sentences |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. Visual cues for completed GLYPHS
2. Whole body movement for LTM for GMMS |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Teacher observation of student interaction during nutritional
label exploration
2. Teacher feedback to students regarding guidelines for cooperative
learning |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
| We will connect this lesson to Math Detectives lesson 5- An apple
a Day. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1. Group questionnaires for Nutritional choices
2. Data analysis for GLYPHS and number sentence accuracy |
| |
|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| I would have varied the choices kids had for nutritional label exploration
to include more extreme choices for unhealthy choices (higher sugar
levels etc.), some fast food nutrition information. Next time will
separate the tables kids are working on for nutritional choices so
they have to move to next group. I would have also given them more
time to discuss their choices and other's choices. |
