Lesson+Plan

//__Lesson Plan for Elementary Math__//

This lesson plan is intended for a first grade math class. The Sunshine State Standards that are present in this lesson are: MA.A.1.1-The student understands the different ways numbers are represented and used in the real world. MA.A.2.1-The students understands number systems. MA.A.3.1-The student understands the effects of operations on numbers and the relationships among these operations, selects appropriate operations, and computes for problem solving.

//__Learning Objectives__//
 * Using Microsoft word the students will be identifying the numbers 1-20 and typing them five times each.
 * Using youtube video, the students will watch a video that counts in order from 1 to 20.
 * Using freemathtest.com the students will fill out a worksheet by counting by twos and then read it off to me in the correct order.
 * Using marbles, the students will be taking a certain amount and adding them together and seeing what number they come up with and then explaining it to me.
 * Using cookies the students will build a cookie tower that equal the two numbers that they pulled out of the hat and added together.

__//Taxonomy Levels //__


 * Evaluation
 * Application

//__Materials Used __//


 * Internet -Used to watch videos and do online worksheets
 * Microsoft Word -Used to type out the numbers 1 through 20 five times each
 * Marbles -Used in class to add together certain amounts and figure out the total amount
 * Cookies-Used to stack on eachother to make a tower, using the correct number they came up with when they added the two numbers together they picked out of a hat

__//Required Learner Participation//__

On Monday I expect the students to watch the video online and then use Microsoft Word to type the nunmbers 1 through 20 five times each. This will help them memorize the numbers and familiarize them. After I would like them to get in a group and all together be able to call out the number that I am holding up on a flashcard. Then we will get into groups of 4 and do flashcards together. On Tuesday we will learn to count by two's. We will first work in a big group and will circle every other number starting with two and go up to 20. Once the students are comfortable they will go to the webpage and fill out the online worsheet on counting by twos. They will then recite it to me. On Wednesday the students will recieve 10 marbles from me. They will start out putting one by its self and then adding another marble to it. I want them to realize that when they add that other marble that they now have two marbles, a simple math problem. On Thursday the students will recieve marbles again, but this time it will be 20 marbles. Again they will start with adding marbles together and work their way up to adding more and more marbles. Once comfortable the students will do a worksheet that has many addition problems on it. On Friday the students will be picking two numbers out of a hat. Once they pick the two numbers they are to add the two numbers together. Once they add the numbers together they will get cookies and are to make a cookie tower out of the amount they got when they added the two numbers together. Once they made the tower they are to show me their two numbers they picked and their tower so I can check and made sure that they did it correct. Then the children can eat the cookies!

__//Evaluate and Revise//__

Monday-I will evaluate by checking the students typed up work and making sure that they put the numbers in the correct order. If the students made a mistake then they will go back and fix it and then I will recheck it for them. Tuesday- I will make sure to go over the worksheet with each student individually to make sure that they understand how to count by two's correctly. Working with them a little bit more one on one on this assignment I think would be a better choice than in a big group. Wednesday- The students will have time to play/count marbles on their own. I expect them to be able to add marbles together and be able to tell me the total. Thursday-The students will again be using marbles to add together but this time will have 20 marbles. They will have the chance to work together so that they can learn from eachother. If they need any help I will be walking around the class to assist them. I expect the students to be able to complete the worksheet on their own with little help from me at this point. Friday-This is a more relaxed fun day for the kids. I would hope that at this point that the kids will be able to add the numbers together and then show me the total that they got by using the amount of cookies for a tower.
