Instructional Strategies and Plan
(include strategies used to help different types of learners, i.e.
auditory, visual, etc.):
|
|
Introductory Activity: |
|
|
Using student-drawn houses from previous unit children will
- Identify the number of family members in their house and attach post-it to the house.
-
On a different color post-it children will write how many pets live in their house.
-
Compare and contrast the number of pets to the number of people in all houses.
- Represent this data on a class-made graph
- Create a classroom story about our neighborhood.
- Visual Activities-drawing,
posting, writing, and graphing
- Auditory Activities-class discussion, teacher instruction and verbal prompts
- Kinesthetic-drawing, posting, finger counting, writing, clothes pins and graphing
|
|
Activity 2: Introducing Fact Families Up To 6 |
|
|
- Introduce fact families up to 6 in written form by teacher demonstration on board.
- Display class-size set of fact families in the shape of a house all around room.
- Pick a fact family house out of the neighborhood each day that you would like to live in that day (that will be the house you may take home for homework practice).
- Children will make a fact family house with their assigned fact (each table will be assigned a different number to construct their fact family (they may not repeat the same fact at their table).
- Children will report out on their work using conversational tone and complete sentences.
|
Activity 3: Milk Carton Fact
Families
(this may also be a center so that all children will have a set of fact family milk cartons) |
|
|
- Each child will receive a milk carton, four clothes pins and clothes pin people (or cut out people) for manipulatives.
- Teacher will demonstrate and discuss the use of milk carton as their house and verbalize the connection from Activity One.
- Teacher will give directions on how to make milk carton fact families with children’s participation.
Steps:
- Paint house (this can be done on a different day).
- Identify number of house.
- Color the appropriate number of family members and place in carton.
- Children will have to find the correct fact clothes pins to clip to roof of house (using the people manipulatives if necessary.
|
|
Materials/Resources:
|
Milk carton houses
- milk cartons
- paint and brushes
- clothes pins
- clothes pin container
- people templates
Clothes line for reinforcement
- clothes line hanging in room
- numbered clothes pins
Neighborhood
- complete student drawn houses made in previous unit
- two different colors of post-it notes
Fact Family Houses
- house template
- board and chalk
- markers
|
|
Additional materials for remediation: |
- dominoes
- flash cards
- manipulatives
|
|
Interdisciplinary Connections:
|
|
Assessment Strategies:
|
|
Formative Evaluation: (checking student understanding during the
lesson) |
|
|
- Teacher will observe how well children are progressing by observation, child feedback and verbal probes.
- Teacher will observe and review finished products.
|
|
Summative Evaluation: (how will it be
determined that the objectives were achieved?) |
|
|
- Given a list of facts children will be able to identify and group those facts into fact families.
- Children will be able to identify fact families by having flash card drills with the teacher one on one.
- Children will be able to make fact family houses and fact family milk cartons and be able to verbalize facts on those items.
|
|
Correctives/Remediation:
|
Teacher one on one, small groups or buddy groups
- Practice facts on classroom clothes line which represents number line.
- Child can review fact families using dominoes.
- Child may use manipulatives with teacher or do milk carton fact family houses one on one with teacher.
|
|
Extensions/Enrichment:
|
- Children may create a classroom neighborhood by making several milk carton math fact houses.
- Children can work individually or with a buddy to make a classroom book out of house pattern with math fact families (they may do as high as they are able).
- Children may make fact family multiplication houses for those who are way above grade level.
