Overview:
This is the final lesson of the unit. Teachers should leave with a lesson plan
for their math block that includes differentiated instruction to show their
level of understanding. The focus of differentiation should be on content and
students readiness. However, teachers can incorporate any other elements
of differentiation into this lesson as well.

current students in your class.

Materials:

Time needed: 30 minutes
Procedure:
1. Teachers can work in grade level teams to help offer support to each
other. Although, the needs of their class may be different from their
peers, there may be similarities that allow some collaborative planning.
2. Teachers will use the learning contract to guide them in their lesson
creation.
3. This is a planning time for teachers and trainer should walk around to
answer any questions or offer assistance as needed.
4. Teachers will turn in a copy of their lesson plan to get feedback.
