The VALE

K-8 Math Methods

DSU | Fall 2019

Student Name: Beth H

Content Standards:

● .1.NBT.A Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of
tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases: 10 can be thought of as a
bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”, b. The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a
ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones, c. The numbers 10,
20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or
nine tens (and 0 ones).
● 1.G. A. Reason with shapes and their attributes. 1. Distinguish between defining
attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes
(e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining
attributes.

Practice Standards:
● 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
● 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Objective(s):

● Objective: Given a picture with 4 objects, students can identify one of the objects that
doesn't belong and provide justification for why it doesn't belong using what they know about
different properties of geometric shapes.

● Objective: Given a picture with 4 objects, students can identify one of the objects that
doesn't belong and provide justification for why it doesn't belong using what they know about
numbers and their relation to one another.

Introduction:

Good Morning students! Today, we will be doing a math routine called “Which One doesn’t Belong”.
We will look at four pictures and decide which one doesn’t belong in the group. There are no right or
wrong answers, as long as you can justify your answer, that is what I am looking for. Remember, no
cell phones and please raise your hand if you have a question.

Activity: Which One Doesn’t Belong

Closure:
Our lesson is about over, but before I leave, please talk with a partner about what you learned today.
I will give you 30 seconds. *class discussion* Who can tell me what they learned today? Thank you
for participating in class today!
