Teacher Candidate: Shakema Smith Subject/Grade: Math/3rd

Lesson # ___4___ Date and Time of Lesson: November 6, 2013 at 8:15 a.m.

Learning Objective: Students will be able to explore one meaning of division by partitioning objects into equal groups. Alignment with Standards:

3.0A.2: Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 8 as the

number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 8.

EEDA - Section 59-29-135: Character education SSCA Description of student behavior.

VA2-2.3 Select and use various elements and principles of design to communicate his or her ideas, feelings, and stories through works of visual art.

Developmental Appropriateness: The learning objective is developmental appropriate because

students are able to partition objects into equal groups from previous knowledge. It is developmental appropriate because the students are able to work in groups for the activity. The learning objective is developmental appropriate for the students emotional needs by the students being able to receive constructive criticism.

Assessment(s) of the Objectives:

Lesson Objective(s) Assessment(s) of the Objective(s) I will observe that students have the partitioned the objects correctly into equal groups. I will also observe that students are working together appropriately. Use of Formative Assessment I will use this assessment to determine if I need to re-teach the lesson to the whole class or pull individual students.

Students will be able to partition objects into equal groups. Students will be able to explore one meaning of division.

Accommodations: I will assist the lower learning students with the activity. I will place them with a
stronger learner of needed. Early finishers will work on the independent practice problems that are related to this lesson in their math books.

Materials: Leaves, pumpkins, and turkey stickers, construction paper, crayons, pencils, Smartboard, and document camera.

Procedures: 1. Which operation did we start learning yesterday? What did work on yesterday in math? Today we are going to work on hands on division with equal sharing. Who can tell me the word I continuously use to create equal groups yesterday in our lesson? Well today you are going to be partitioning different objects into equal groups together. 2. I have created a word problem for each group. You are to find your answer to your word problem by partitioning the objects you are given into equal groups. Before I give you your word problem and materials Im going to model an example for you. 3. Ms. Smith saw 4 leaves growing equally on 2 trees. I want to find out how many leaves were on each tree. Im going to be creative and draw my 2 trees first. Now Im going to partition out my four leaves. Now that I have partition my four leaves, do I now know how many leaves are on each tree? How many leaves are on each tree? Now, who can tell me what my division sentence is? Now, Im going to write my division sentence onto my construction paper under my drawing. Now, Im done with my project. 4. Now its your turn. Before we begin, do anybody have any questions about what we are going to do today. (Answer questions of there are some.) Im going to call one person from each group to come get your materials for your activity. Listen, I want each person in each group to participate in this activity. I will be coming around to check whos working together and your activity. 5. You will be given a word problem. a. There are 21 green leaves growing equally on 3 trees. How many leaves are growing on
each tree? b. There are 12 pumpkins that are being equally shared between 6 turkeys. How many pumpkins will each turkey have? c. There are 8 pumpkins that are being equally shared between 4 turkeys. How many pumpkins will each turkey have? d. There are 15 brown leaves growing equally on 3 trees. How many leaves are growing on each tree? e. There are 28 brown and yellow leaves growing equally on 7 trees. How many leaves are growing on each tree? f. There are 24 red and orange leaves growing equally on a 6 trees. How many leaves are growing on each tree? g. There are 18 different color leaves growing equally on 2 trees? How many leaves are growing on each tree? 6. You will also be given a piece of construction paper and your objects which are in a

Ziploc bag. 7. You may begin making your equal groups once you have receive your materials. (Give students time to complete their activities.)
8. When time is up, team captains will turn in their groups project to me. Students will quietly clean up their areas. If there is trash, team captains will put it in the trash. 9. Closure: Students will come to the carpet. We will have a discussion about what we did today in class. Questions: What did we do today for math? What was the purpose of this activity? What

was that one word that we were focus on in the lesson? How would describe partition? Remember this is one way of showing division, equally sharing.

Activity Analysis: I plan to use one activity in this lesson which is having students partition different objects into equal groups based off of the word problem they are given. Im planning this activity because I want students to be able to understand one way of dividing, which is partitioning objects into equal groups, with a hands-on activity. This activity is good for the students needs because they enjoy working in groups and doing hands-on activities. To implement technology into this activity I will use the Smartboard and document camera. References: n/a
