Part 1: Operation and Algebraic Thinking Lesson Plan
Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” design a lesson for the 1-5 grade level of your choice and a corresponding Arizona or other state math standard within the Operation and Algebraic Thinking domain.
Locate four lesson plans that focus on your chosen grade level and math standard from four different websites to review.
Using the lesson plans as resources, design a new operation and algebraic thinking lesson plan that encourages critical thinking. The lesson plan must include differentiated strategies for students who struggle with perception and attention as well as differentiation strategies for students who struggle with memory and retrieval.
Part 2: Instructional Strategies Rationale
In 250-500 words, reflect upon your instructional choices and rationalize the appropriateness of each strategy related to the specified student needs and learning target. Describe how each strategy encourages critical thinking specific to your lesson.
Support your choices with this topic’s readings and a minimum of two scholarly resources. In addition, cite the websites you used as references to develop your lesson plan.
SOLUTION
Warm-Up:
Begin by reviewing the multiplication and division tables with the class using flashcards or a chant. Then, pose a multiplication or division problem to the class, and have them work in pairs or small groups to solve the problem. Finally, have students share their answers with the class and explain their thinking. Direct Instruction:
Introduce the lesson by explaining that multiplication and division are important operations that can be used to solve real-world problems. Model how to solve a word problem using multiplication or division on the whiteboard. Then, work through several more examples together as a class, using different strategies to solve each problem. Encourage students to share their own strategies and explain their thinking.
