Instructional Strategies and Plan (include strategies used to help different types of learners, i.e. auditory, visual, etc):

 

 

Anticipatory Set:

·         The teacher will review the definition of a digit.

·         The teacher will review how to illustrate.

·         The teacher will model how to build a two-digit number.

·         The teacher will then tell students that during today’s lesson they will be a detective.  They will gather information in order to determine their secret number on their visor.

 

  Procedure

·         Tens and ones have been introduced.

·         Guided practice with placement of tens and ones in correct columns.

·         Practice using manipulatives to show tens and ones on a place value mat.

·         Introduce the game, “What is my number?”

·         Explain rules for the game.

·         Ten children receive a numbered visor, clipboard, pencil and a “secret number” that they can’t see. 

·         They are the detectives.  Their job is to ask only yes or no questions to the remaining students.

·         The object of the game is for the detective to make an educated guess as to their secret number, asking the least amount of questions.

·         Students will use their clue cards to cross out numbers that they can eliminate.

·         When the detective thinks he/she knows their number, they write it on the board and waits for the teacher’s approval.

·         If the answer is incorrect, the detective may try again.

·         Once the detective has successfully completed their assignment, they build their number using unifix cubes.

·         Every student is given the opportunity to play detective.

·         Every student will write about their secret number and do an illustration in their math journal.

 

           

Materials/Resources:

·        Clue cards

·        Small clipboard

·        Sun visor with secret number

·        Yarn

·        Unifix cubes

·        Pencils

·        Math journal

 

 

 

 

 

Interdisciplinary Connections:

·         Reading

Out For The Count by Kathryn Cave, Chris Riddell, Frances Lincoln

(When Tom can’t sleep, he tries counting sheep but the sheep take him to another world where he meets tigers, pirates and other hazards in large numbers.  A marvelous book which practices place value in a rhyming text.  Ages 4 – 8.

 

·         Cheerios Counting by Barbara Barbieri McGrath

 

 

·         Technology

o       scholastic.com

o       mathcats.com

 

 

Assessment Strategies:

·         Formative Evaluation (checking student understanding during the lesson):

·         Teacher observation

·         Completion of clue card

·         Questions asked by the detective

·         Building of the number using unifix cubes

·         Journal writing

 

 

 

Summative Evaluation (How will it be determined that the objectives were achieved?):

·         Teacher directed questions with every detective.

·         Journal writing

·         Completion of clue cards

 

 

 

Correctives/Remediation:

            *Small group instruction

*Simple numbers given to struggling students

            *Work in pairs

            *Teacher modeling

 

 

 

 

Extensions/Enrichment:

·         Partners will add and/or subtract their secret numbers.

·         Make a class book showing each student’s illustrated secret number.

·         Students will line up with their secret number from least to greatest.

·         Students will give true math statements about the game.

·         Students will collect the correct number of  items to match their secret number.

           

 

 

 

Special Accommodations (special needs students)

·          Description of the Special Needs student selected:

Student 4 – Male – This student appears to be a disinterested learner.  He loves to draw. But it is difficult to motivate him to do other tasks.  His father says, “Well just let him draw if that is what makes him happy.”

 

·          Accommodations to use with this student:

·          Partner the student with a very energetic student.

·          Allow the student to be the teacher’s helper.

·          Tell him that if he completes the assignment in a timely manner, he may design the cover for the class book.

·          The game will act as a motivator because it actively engages the student.

Max's Challenge
How far did Max ride that day? Use what you know about tens to estimate the distance.

 

I'm the world's greatest rider,
I can ride on any street.
I can ride with one hand,
I can ride without feet.

There's just one problem —
Can you imagine how it feels
To be the world's greatest rider
And still use training wheels?

It really does bug me.
I want to bike in style.
One day to make up for it,
I rode for miles and miles.

I biked 20 miles
To a town called Cariboo.
Then I rode for 18 more
Before I stopped to tie my shoe.

I pedaled 32 miles
To Tuscaloosa Bay.
Then I pedaled 26 more —
People cheering on my way!


I rode 40 miles to Palooka
When I heard a rattling sound.
I was going down a hill,
So I could not turn around.

When I reached the bottom,
I pulled over a lawn.
I looked down at my bike
And my training wheels were gone!

"Oh wow!" I said. "I did it!
"You don't know how good this feels."
Now I AM the world's best rider,
And I DON'T need training wheels!

 

 

 

Max's Math Adventures
My name is Max. How do you do?
My pal Ruth said, 'I have a job for you. Count all the stars up in the sky.'
'Ruth,' I said, 'I'll give it a try!' Later that night I walked into my yard,
Thinking this would not be too hard.


Counting Stars

 

Max's Super Stars

 
I pointed to a star and counted "1."
Counting stars would be lots of fun!
I looked up again and counted 2, 3, 4.
It seemed that I was ready for more!
Next came 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
There were so many, I couldn't stop then!

I counted stars all the way to 20.
But guess what, my friends? There were still plenty.
I was tired of counting each little star —
There are so many, so high and so far!
I said to Ruthie, with a smile on my face,
"It's tough to count things in outer space!"

 

 

Max's Challenge
Try to count something a little closer to home! Grab a handful of beans, buttons, pennies or other small objects. Count all the objects in your hand. Then tell me what you counted by filling in the form below.
