2. Relevance/Rationale: Based on prior lessons and assessments of your students, why is this the right lesson
for your students to learn right now in your class? (TPE 1.3, 2.6, 3.2)
In the previous unit, Mission 4, students learned how to fluently add and subtract numbers within 200 by
utilizing a variety of solving strategies and models (i.e. number bonds, place value charts, vertical form,
totals below, arrow way, etc.). In Mission 5, students will apply these strategies as they add and subtract
larger numbers within 1,000. Lesson 1 of Mission 5 familiarized students with the concept of 10 more, 10
less, 100 more, and 100 less. Lesson 2 engaged students in adding and subtracting multiples of 100.
Building on that understanding, this lesson (lesson 3) will teach students how to add multiples of 100 and
some tens within 1,000.
Student-Friendly Translation:
Recently, we have had lots of practice using different strategies to add and subtract numbers. Yesterday,
we added and subtracted multiples of 100. Today, we are going to apply these strategies as we add
multiples of 100 and some tens within 1,000.

Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
The class is represented by students with diverse cultural and linguistic experiences, with half of the
students having visited or lived in another country. While many of the students have been exposed to
languages other than English, a few being fluent in Georgian and Mandarin, English remains the
dominant language in the class. Another commonality among members of the class is that they come
from families with high socioeconomic status. Family units are stable, supportive, and complete as most
students live at home with both parents and a sibling.
Socio-emotional developmental (SEL) factors that may influence instruction in this academic area
Overall, the class consists of students with mild personalities who demonstrate reputable character
traits. They have a healthy social awareness as they are sensitive and welcoming to people of all
sociocultural backgrounds. Moreover, their compliance to social behavioral norms and their ability to
acknowledge other people’s emotions is commendable. For the most part, students work well together
in partner and group activities by demonstrating their active listening and communication skills.
Nonetheless, there is still room for improvement with their interpersonal skills because part of the class
is more reserved than others during discussions.
Some areas of concern include the class becoming distracted as well as talkative during a lesson. A few
students have developed the habit of shouting out words that do not contribute to a positive and
productive learning environment. In addition, they frequently preoccupy their hands with a variety of off-
task behaviors during a lesson, such as drawing on their mini-whiteboards and coloring on their
worksheets, despite being asked to stop multiple times. Maintaining eye-contact during direct
instruction is also a challenge. These reasons indicate opportunities for growth in self-management and
responsible decision-making.
Most students in the class are interested in sports, with several currently playing on teams such as
soccer and softball. Dogs and other animals are major topics of fascination as well as art. Becoming
future veterinarians or professional athletes are common aspirations of the class. Moreover, every
student loves reading and has expressed their enthusiasm about the books they are invested in. Dog
Man books are popular choices.
Since I have three students classified as intermediate in math while the rest of the class is advanced,
they may need additional clarification and examples to succeed. I am anticipating needing to pause at
various points during instructional activities to check for understanding and adjust the pace and
complexity of instruction accordingly. For instance, I can differentiate instruction by only requiring
struggling learners to complete half of the math worksheet with excellence rather than being pressured
to do it all.
During the interactive and engaging activities, I am expecting the class to have some difficulty staying
focused on the content as they might become chatty and distracted. Students might also shout out
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
answers instead of raising their hands. Furthermore, I am concerned that some students may not
demonstrate self-control by drawing on their whiteboards and worksheets instead of fully participating
in the math activities.
Furthermore, I am anticipating my English Learner (FS1) to need extra assistance with understanding
and correctly applying the academic vocabulary for this lesson. For this reason, I am prepared to
display visual clues and examples. Regarding my student with unique circumstances (FS3), he may
need more time for the written assignment and need to be prompted with sentence frames to help him
communicate his thoughts effectively during group interactions. Regarding my students with speech
impairments, their IEP plans do not specify any modifications to instruction. However, I am prepared to
restate their answers to provide clarification for the class and to model desired speech. Should they
seem rushed in speaking, I will kindly ask them to slow down and articulate clearly, providing auditory
supports. I will not highlight any disfluencies to embarrass them but rather encourage breathing and
pausing during “bumpy” speech.
2. Differentiation for Special Needs: Tie it to the specific needs of your students. (TPE 3.5, 4.4)
- For my students with speech-impairments, I will provide ample time for them to discuss each
topic with their elbow partners so they do not feel rushed and can communicate in more relaxed
circumstances. I will also encourage students to take turns talking so that each child can share
their thoughts without being interrupted. In addition, to boost my SPED students’ confidence in
their speaking abilities, I plan to frequently call on them when they are raising their hands to
answer in front of the class. When they respond, I will listen patiently and restate what they say
in a slower, clearly articulated way, providing auditory supports. I will not highlight any
disfluencies to embarrass them but rather encourage breathing and pausing during “bumpy”
speech.
- According to their IEPs, there are no required modifications; however, I will support them in their
learning using the methods listed above.

5. Higher Order Thinking Strategies (Bloom’s, Depth of Knowledge, Hess’ Cognitive Matrix, G.A.T.E.
Strategies, Graphic Organizers, etc.). What three levels of Bloom’s will you address in this lesson to enhance
the depth with which your students will engage the lesson objective? At least one of them must be from one of
the top three levels of higher order thinking. (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create) (TPE:
1.4, 4.4)
Students will understand and explain how to add multiples of 100s and 10s within 1,000.
Students will apply different addition strategies to help them solve the problems and showcase their
math reasoning. Students will evaluate each other’s work to check for accuracy and compare their
methods.

Collaboration
Creativity
1. Formative Assessments: At least two formative assessments total, at least one with a rubric (copy or attach
rubric to this template) (TPE 1.8, 2.5, 5.1, 5.5)
Formative Assessment 1:
- Based on observing how successfully students use strategies to solve problems and explain
their math thinking during the whiteboard practice time, I will be able to assess their grasp of the
content.
Formative Assessment 2:
- As a concrete formative assessment, students will independently complete a game worksheet
called Gone Fishin.’ They will use their pencil with a paper clip as a spinner to randomly select
the numbers they will add. They will need to use at least two different strategies to solve the
problems, showing their work.
2. Self-Assessment: How will all students be involved in self-assessment and reflection on their learning goals
and progress? If working in teams, how will they peer-assess each other and the group? A rubric is required for
the students to use in either self-assessment or team assessment (TPE 1.5, 5.3)
At the end of the lesson, students will complete a short self-assessment where they will indicate their
progress towards the two lesson goals. They will write an “M” if they met the goal, a “P” if they made
progress towards it, or an “L” if they have a limited understanding of the content.

2. Prior Teaching, Prior Student Knowledge from Assessments or Student Funds of Knowledge:
In the previous unit, Mission 4, students learned how to fluently add and subtract numbers within 200 by
utilizing a variety of solving strategies and models (i.e. number bonds, place value charts, vertical form,
totals below, arrow way, etc.). In Mission 5, students will apply these strategies as they add and subtract
larger numbers within 1,000. Lesson 1 of Mission 5 familiarized students with the concept of 10 more, 10
less, 100 more, and 100 less. Lesson 2 engaged students in adding and subtracting multiples of 100.
Building on that understanding, this lesson (lesson 3) will teach students how to add multiples of 100 and
some tens within 1,000.
3. Resources / Materials: What texts, digital resources and materials will be used in this lesson?
4. Procedure: Provide a detailed procedure that includes estimated times and intended questions.
Lesson Explanation: How will the lesson objectives be explained to the students? How will you communicate how
it relates to prior learning? How will you communicate your expectations for learning and behavior? How will you
establish a positive and safe learning environment? (TPE 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3)

- Next, I will give students whiteboards to practice on. For each problem I give them, they can
choose which strategy they want to use. I will encourage them to try using a different method for
each problem.
- Practice problems: 460 + 230, 540 + 260, 280 + 230
- After students have solved a problem on their whiteboard, they will participate in a Think-Pair-
Share with their elbow partner to discuss their math reasoning and evaluate their work. They will
need to use our math vocabulary displayed on the board and the words because, but, or so in their
answers. Once students have finished sharing, I will solve and explain the problem on the
whiteboard so students can check their work before moving on.
Close (5 minutes) –
Next Steps: How will next steps be communicated to the students about continuing to learn this topic after the
lesson?
Lesson Review: Wonderful job today boys and girls! We accomplished our learning goal for today by
using strategies to add multiples of 100 and some tens. I am proud of how you shared your math
reasoning with each other!
- What strategies can we use to add multiples of 100 and some tens?
- Does everyone have to use the same strategy? Why not?
- What does it mean to bundle tens? When do we do so?
- Why is it important to know how to add big numbers?
Next Steps: Tomorrow, instead of adding, we will subtract multiples of 100 and some tens using strategies
and math reasoning.

Part 6 – Reflection
TPE 3.4, 6.1, 6.5
After presenting the lesson in the classroom, review and reflect on student work related to the lesson
1. Include rubric data here:
As shown in the rubric above, 2/9 students scored 2/3 on the Gone Fishin’ Adding Multiples of 100 and
Some 10s Worksheet, while 7/9 students scored 3/3.
According to how the class performed on the final worksheet, most of the students made strong attempts
in using multiple strategies to solve the addition problems. Students showed their math reasoning by
clearly utilizing vertical form, place value charts, the arrow way, totals below, and number bonds. During
the Think-Pair-Share opportunities, students appropriately used math vocabulary as they articulated their
math thinking.
b. Explain areas of unsuccessful achievement; and why each specific student was unsuccessful –
Several students made simple mistakes on their final addition worksheet (such as writing the wrong
number down) that could have been easily avoided if they went back to check their work. FS3 scored a 2/3
on the rubric because three of his answers were off by 100 because he did not correctly bundle the tens
into a new hundred. In addition, Lilia was not fully successful because she had difficulty writing her tens
correctly in five of the problems. For example, she wrote 70 + 60 as 103 instead of 130. She also did not
line up her numbers correctly while using the Totals Below method.
3. How did learning deeply about your students’ assets and learning needs:
a. inform and/or shape your lesson plan for the whole class?
Understanding that my class consists of students who are either intermediate or advanced in math led me
to design a multi-layered lesson with an appropriate level of challenge. Because students generally work
well together and enjoy groupwork, I made sure to include multiple discussion opportunities. Knowing
that my students love playing games and respond well to positive reinforcers (i.e. tokens, points, etc.), I
decided to maximize engagement with the game of Monopoly, using the money as a reward throughout
the lesson. With my students’ learning needs in mind, I clearly explained how they can earn money by
paying attention, being respectful, working hard, answering correctly, and using math vocabulary. This
addressed my students’ tendencies to engage in a variety of off-task behaviors and interrupt the lesson
by shouting out words.
Learning about my students’ assets and learning needs influenced me to support student access to the
content by including plenty of visuals on the whiteboard, sentence frames with the academic vocabulary,
and guided practice opportunities to set them up for success. I boosted student engagement with the
content by incorporating real-life connections and a variety of short learning activities that broke up the
lesson. Students were also able to use their whiteboards for the guided practice time, which they enjoyed.
4. Think about your teaching practice during the learning segment and what you learned from your analysis of
multiple types of assessment about your students’ understanding of content and/or ELD learning goal(s).
a. What was most effective about your teaching or assessment in helping students achieve the content and/or
ELD learning goal(s) of the segment?
The most effective aspects of the lesson that helped students achieve the content and ELD goals were the
peer discussion opportunities. Students were able to show their math drawings on their whiteboards
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
before sharing it with a partner. This allowed students to compare their methods, help one another, and
have academic conversations using the math vocabulary. I effectively monitored the process and pushed
students into higher-order thinking.
b. b. What was less effective about your teaching or assessment? What do you want to set as an area for growth to
increase your effectiveness as a teacher? Explain why you have chosen this professional learning goal.
Although the Gone Fishin’ game worksheet was an engaging independent practice opportunity for
students, I could have developed a more effective assessment. Ideally, I could have designed a worksheet
with 5 addition problems where students would have to use each of the five methods once to show their
work. This would provide me with a better understanding of which strategies students have mastered and
which they need further clarification on. One professional learning goal I have is to more intentionally
select assessments that are strong and focused. I chose this goal because I want to have solid data to
base my instruction on.
5. What instructional strategies were used to help students achieve the lesson objective? Which subject-specific
pedagogical skills were used to help students be successful? (reference TPE SSP 1-7 Part 2: Subject-Specific
Pedagogy)
a. Was your lesson plan sufficiently flexible to support all students’ learning, or did you need to incorporate
specific instructional, in-the-moment adaptations for particular students? Why or why not?
While my lesson plan was fairly flexible to support all students’ learning, I did need to incorporate specific
in-the-moment adaptations. First, I only had students complete two practice problems on their
whiteboards instead of three because the direct instruction portion of the lesson took longer than
anticipated. I also had to jump in and be FS1’s partner during the Think-Pair-Share because we had an odd
number of students and she only wanted to talk to me. Unfortunately, I was not able to listen to most of
the class’s discussion because I was focused on her. A few students also got stuck on the worksheet, so I
showed them additional practice problems on their whiteboards.
b. Did your instructional approach support learning for the whole class and for each of your focus students to
achieve the content-specific learning goal(s)?
My instructional approach did support learning for the whole class and for each of my focus students to
achieve the content-specific goals because I scaffolded the process well. The lesson progressed
smoothly from clear, direct instruction and modeling to guided whiteboard practice to independent
practice at the end. Peer interactions, visual aids, and sentence frames benefited the whole class.
6. According to the data analysis, what changes could be made to the lesson and why? Please use specific
examples from your student samples or note other specific evidence.
According to how students performed on their math worksheet, I could adjust the lesson to include
additional examples involving bundling tens to make a new hundred. I also could have narrowed the
strategies down from five to three to maximize accuracy and promote greater student success. Focusing
my instruction on fewer strategies would have allowed me more time to explain the strategies while
demonstrating them. Finally, I would have reduced the number of problems on the worksheet so that
students did not feel pressured to finish but rather could carefully complete and check their work.
If you were to develop and teach this lesson again, what would you do the same or differently to improve deep
learning of content and academic language for the whole class of students and why?
If I were to develop and teach this lesson again, I would provide each pair of students with an example
problem containing some errors in the solving process. Students would engage in higher-order thinking
as they critically analyze the problems to detect errors. This activity would also be an effective way to
steer students away from making the same kinds of mistakes when solving addition problems.
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
7. What should be done next to teach the students who were not successful in grasping the lesson? Explain what
you would do next to advance the learning of the whole class of students. How could it be re-taught if given the
opportunity?
a. Do you need to reteach any part of the lesson? Explain why or why not.
One part of the lesson I need to reteach is how to correctly bundle tens to create a new hundred since
several students were off by 100 in their answers. I also need to reteach how to solve addition problems
using the Totals Below method due to some confusion regarding how to properly write and line up the
numbers.
b. Based on what the whole class of students learned about the content you were teaching, what will you teach
next?
Next, instead of adding, we will subtract multiples of 100 and some tens using strategies and math
reasoning.
8. Personal Reflection: What did you learn about yourself as a teacher, and how you want to teach in the future?
I learned that I enjoy teaching so much more when I use creative ways to engage my students with the
content, like involving Monopoly money. I also realized how much easier it is to teach when I am
sufficiently prepared, have a better understanding of my students, and anticipate possible challenges
throughout the lesson. Having a positive connection with my students is far superior to policing the class
through a critical lens. In the future, I want to discover and implement new engagement strategies to
inspire a love for learning in my students.
The day after this lesson, I reviewed the common mistakes with the class followed by clear reteaching and
plenty of whiteboard practice to master each of the strategies.
