Universal Design for Learning
Representation
1.1 Offer ways of customizing
the display of information.
Students will have customized
ways for displaying information
by showing combinations to
seven in various ways such as
counting, drawing items, and
creating the bird activity.
3.1 Activate of supply
background knowledge.
Students will be continuing
working on combinations to
seven. This lesson is building on
a previous lesson to ensure the
students understand.
Action and Expression
5.1 Use multiple media for
communication.
Students will be using various
types of media to work with
combinations to seven.
6.1 Guide appropriate goal-
setting.
Students know that the goal is
to be able to know their
combinations to seven.
Students know that once they
achieve this goal they will work
with combinations to eight.

7.1 Optimize individual choice
and autonomy.
Students will be able to chose
what combination to seven
they would like to make in their
math journals and their bird
activity. Students will also have
the choice on how they want
to decorate their eggs and
chicks.

not hatched. The students will need to

For the students who finish early may find
a partner to review their math journal with.
The students may take turns asking their
partner to try and guess what is in their
bag.
Depending on time: Once all students are
finished, some may choose to show their
friends their picture and will cover their
writing to see if their friends can guess
their equation.
