Teacher Candidate: Amber Jordan Lesson # _4_ Subject/Grade: Mathematics/ Kindergarten Date and Time of Lesson: Wednesday, March 27, 2014 12.40 Learning Objective: Students will be able to solve math subtraction problems using objects and pictures. Alignment with Standards: Common Core Math Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.1 Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings1, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.2 Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.5 Fluently add and subtract within 5. Developmental Appropriateness or Cross-curricular connections: Learning objectives are appropriate for development because they state exactly what the students should know after given a lesson on the standards. Prerequisite knowledge is important for students to be able to understand the lesson being taught. Prerequisite knowledge gives students knowledge that they can build off of. Most of these students have not had prerequisite knowledge because they came from their homes. This math lesson will provide practice with solving problems by using math manipulatives and drawing pictures. Assessment(s) of the Objectives: Assessment(s) of the Objective Objective: Students will Pre-Assessment- Students be able to solve math are assessed in previous subtraction problems days if they know what a (using objects and pictures. ) sign, an (=) sign, and if they can subtract or take away. During-AssessmentStudents will be assessed on whether or not they can solve problems by using the objects and marking out correct numbers of the pictures. Post-AssessmentStudents will be assessed on if they wrote the number answer, showed work, and if their numbers are wrote correctly on a Lesson Objective Use of Formative Assessment Future instruction will be based on the assessment data gathered at the end of the lesson. The assessment will help to guide the next math lessons.

mixed number review sheet. Accommodations: Accommodations will be made for any student that may need it. All students will have their own work sheet, ten counting bears in a bowl, pencil, and crayons. For the speech and ELL students, they have students sitting beside them in case they do not understand and need clarification. These students are their buddies that they can quietly ask them for help. Instructions will be explained before the students start their activity. I will repeat any instruction details if it is needed. For the autistic child, extra help will be given one on one. Materials: Copy of the lesson plan Sixs Subtraction Math Sheet Mixed Review Assessment Sheet Pencil Crayons Ten Counting Bears per student SMART Board iPad Procedures: 1. On a day prior to the lesson, students will be assessed on if they know what (-) sign, (=) sign, and if they can subtract or take away from numbers. 2. To begin our lesson, students will be seated at their table. There will already be materials at their table such as their counting bears, pencils, and crayons. 3. We will begin by doing the sixs subtraction math sheet. This will be completed as a whole group. 4. I will call on different students to read out the problems. I will then ask how many is being taken away from 6. I will then tell them to mark out different numbers of the six pictures. They may also use their counting bears to act out the problem. 5. Students will then count how many bears or pictures they have left without xs on them and raise their hand. 6. I will call on a student who is being quiet with their hand raised to tell me the answer. 7. We will do this for each of the problems on the sheet. 8. After completing the sixs subtraction math sheet, we will go over the sheet and students will place a check beside the problems that they have the correct numbers wrote. 9. To wrap up our study of subtraction, students will complete an assessment. This will be the post assessment that will be done after going over, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1s subtraction facts. The assessment will be a mixed review sheet. Students will complete this on their own by using counting bears and drawing pictures to show their work. 10. I will explain and demonstrate how to do the sheet. 11. I will pass out the assessment and guide students to only write their names and then put their heads down. 12. I will review exactly how to do it one more time by explaining the assessment sheet. 13. Students will then complete the assessment on their own. 14. After students have completed the assessment, they will turn it in to me for evaluation. 15. Early finishers will be able to get a piece of paper and practice writing their numbers and

subtraction problems. Late finishers will be able to complete theirs at Mrs. Davis table. 16. All materials will be taken up at the end. 17. For those that are still struggling they will have extra time during rotations to work with me on the iPad with subtraction applications. 18. To wrap up our subtraction lesson, we will watch videos of subtraction facts. Activity Analysis: Using Counting Bears as Math Manipulatives The counting bears will be used to act out the problem for the students. Students enjoy using the bears and this will allow students that need a visual aid to solve problems. Students seem to do better when they have something in their hands to help them solve problems. No technology will be used. Drawing Pictures to Solve and Show Work Students will have the opportunity to draw pictures to solve their problem and show their work. Drawing pictures will allow me to see where the students messed up if they got a wrong answer. This will also hold the students accountable for their own work instead of having already drawn pictures for them to solve problems with. Their success depends on them drawing pictures or using the math manipulatives. No technology will be used.
