interest, support student motivation, and allow students to extend their learning.

3.1 Demonstrate knowledge of subject matter, including the adopted California State Standards and
curriculum frameworks.

5.1 Apply knowledge of the purposes, characteristics, and appropriate uses of different types of
assessments (e.g., diagnostic, informal, formal, progress-monitoring, formative, summative, and
performance) to design and administer classroom assessments, including use of scoring rubrics.

Part 1 – Goals and Standards


TPE 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.2, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5
1. CA State Standard(s) and/or Curriculum Frameworks (TPE: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.4)

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.7
Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on
place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and
subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or
subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and
tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or
hundreds.
2. Learning Goal(s): What will students have mastered in terms of knowledge and/or skill as a result of this
lesson? (TPE 2.2, 2.6, 3.2)

1. Students will be able to use different strategies to add multiples of 100 and some tens within
1,000.
2. In partners, students will articulate their mathematical thinking and evaluate each other’s work
to check for accuracy.

Student-Friendly Translation: (Write this out as if you were explaining the objective of the lesson to your
students in their language: “Today, we are going to master the concept of…by creating…”)

Today, we are going to use different strategies to add hundreds and tens. We will also explain our math
thinking and check each other’s work.

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.

3. ELD Standards Addressed: All Content Areas (TPE 1.1, 1.6, 3.5, 4.4)
Part 1: Interacting in Meaningful Ways: A. Collaborative, B. Interpretive, C. Productive

Your SEL goal for this lesson for this specific student:

My SEL goal for FS1 is growth in self-awareness. I


want to help her continue to process her thoughts,
feelings, and beliefs so that she can identify and
adjust internal motivations. One strategy FS1 can
use when she has strong thoughts and feelings is to
ask herself, why am I thinking this? Or why am I
feeling this way?

Based on these details, it is apparent that FS2 has a


very supportive and tight-knit family.

Health and/or Physical Considerations: Socio-emotional Learning Considerations/Social


(and how these may influence instruction) Development Factors:
(and how these may influence instruction)

Based on my observations, FS2 has a lot of energy


which allows him to enthusiastically engage in
learning but creates challenges for him when it
comes to distracting the class. He is physically
active in his seat, constantly maneuvering his body
and chair despite being asked to keep his seat fully
on the ground. It proved to be incredibly helpful for
FS2 to have an alternative kind of flexible seating
that allows him to expend his energy in a safe,
controlled manner. From an instructional
perspective, FS2 would benefit from bodily-
kinesthetic activities and frequent breaks from seat-
work assignments.

Your SEL goal for this lesson for this specific student:

My SEL goal for FS2 is self-management because I


want to help him improve on controlling his body.
Squeezing a stress ball is one specific strategy that
he can employ to redirect his energy. Manipulating
the ball in his hand will allow him to expend his
energy in a quiet, non-distracting way.

Saudi Arabia, where he enjoyed visiting fun places and moved again to a neighboring city so FS3 could be
playing with friends. Although his parents are from enrolled in our school.
Lebanon and speak Arabic to each other, FS3 primarily
speaks English, understanding only a little Arabic. FS3’s mom insisted on placing him in 3rd grade
because he completed 2nd grade in Saudi Arabia.
However, testing indicated that he is performing at a
beginning 2nd grade level.

FS3 lives at home with his mom and his 5-year-old


sister. His father is currently living in Saudi Arabia,
where he is employed, and is planning on moving to
California in December.

Health and/or Physical Considerations: Socio-emotional Learning Considerations/Social


(and how these may influence instruction) Development Factors:
(and how these may influence instruction)

FS3 mentioned that he is working on making


friends, seeing that he is new to the country and to
the school.

Based on my observations, FS3 sometimes


demonstrates difficulty in communicating with
others and having positive interactions. He is
socially reserved, especially in academic contexts,
providing one-word or two-word responses.

Having this in mind helps me to strategically plan


instruction so that there are plenty of collaborative
opportunities for FS3 to cultivate social skills and
establish friendships.

Your SEL goal for this lesson for this specific student:

It is my goal for FS3 to develop his relationship


skills with his peers, specifically in the area of
communication. I will support him in this process by
prompting him to speak in complete sentences
when communicating his ideas and by providing
him with sentence frames. One specific strategy that
he can utilize is intentionally listening to the way his
peers talk with each other. His active observation
will equip him with language skills to cultivate
deeper relationships.

Other General Classroom Concerns


General cultural and linguistic background of students (home/family):

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.

Health considerations or physical development factors (if any)

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.

Interests and/or aspirations in the class (relevant to this academic area

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.

Opportunities to address challenges (such as misunderstandings or misconceptions) related to the


learning objective and lesson (using Growth Mindset Language): This section is the bridge between the
concerns for individual students identified in Section 7 and how this will play out in the context of the actual
classroom setting and the lesson plans you are currently preparing. Based on the information above, what
difficulties may students have with the content? Specify anticipated difficulties for English language learners,
students with special needs, or students with unique needs. Work to connect your information based on the
student’s IEP, behavioral plan, and/or observations by the teacher and teaching candidate. (TPE 1.4, 1.6, 2.1,
3.5, 4.4)

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.

Part 3 – Universal Access Lesson Adaptations

Modifications / Accommodations: What specific modifications/accommodations will be made based on the
anticipated challenges for this set of students for this specific lesson? (TPE 1.4,

1. ELL / SDAIE Strategies: (TPE 1.6, 3.5, 4.4)


• What are at least three general SDIAE strategies you will engage?
• Think-Pair-Share: For each of the practice problems on their whiteboards, students will share
their math reasoning with their elbow partner using math vocabulary and the words but,
because, or so in their answers. Sentence frames will also be available on the board.
• Graphic Organizers: One of the strategies that students can use to add multiples of 100 and
some tens are place value charts.
• Visuals: Students will be able to refer to a variety of addition strategies displayed on the board
along with the math vocabulary words.

• How will you specifically address each the CA ELD Standards you identified at the beginning of this lesson plan
to ensure your students will master your Learning Outcomes?
- Think-Pair-Share: For each of the practice problems on their whiteboards, students will share
their math reasoning with their elbow partner using math vocabulary and the words but,
because, or so in their answers. They can provide their opinion as to how they solved the math
situation, drawing from their background knowledge of place value.
• I will also model how provide quality math reasoning with the example problems before
releasing the students to do so. I will reward students who I hear using the key words in their
answers with Monopoly Money.

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.

Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template

3. Social-emotional Learning Support: https://casel.org/what-is-sel/ (TPE 2.1)


• Identify one or more specific SEL competencies that you will focus on for the whole class (Self-awareness, Self-
management, Social awareness, Relationship Skills, Responsible Decision-making):
• Responsible Decision-making

• Specific strategy that you will use to inculcate that competency:
- During this lesson, my goal is for students to grow in responsible decision-making by being
respectful, paying attention, and by working hard. I will explicitly explain my expectations for
this lesson and I will reward students who are demonstrating great behavior with Monopoly
money.

4. Universal Design for Learning (whole class) Support: http://udlguidelines.cast.org


(TPE 1.4, 4.4, 4.7)

• Multiple Means of Engagement:


- This lesson optimizes relevance, value, and authenticity by using the game of Monopoly to
highlight how math is involved to play. Students will realize why they need to use strategies to
add multiples of a 100 and some 10s because it has real-world implications. We will also briefly
discuss real-life examples showing why it is important to be able to add large numbers.
- This lesson optimizes individual choice and autonomy by giving students the freedom to choose
how they want to solve the math situations. They can choose to show their math reasoning
using place value charts, the arrow way, vertical form, number bonds, or the totals below
method.
- I will minimize threats and distractions by clearly establishing behavior expectations in the
beginning of the lesson. I will reward students with Monopoly money when they are working
hard, being respectful, paying attention, and answering correctly. Furthermore, the initial
establishment of a safe learning environment through a mindfulness meditation will pave the
way for student success by minimizing threats and distractions.

• Multiple Means of Representation:


- Visually, I will be using the whiteboard to demonstrate how to add two three-digit numbers using
different strategies. The place value charts will benefit students who learn best through concrete
pictures. In addition to the different math strategies, the key vocabulary, sentence frames, and
lesson goals will also be displayed on the whiteboard.

• Multiple Means of Action and Expression:


- Students will be able to express their learning by writing/drawing on their personal whiteboards
and by verbally processing their reasoning with each other through Think-Pair-Share
opportunities and group interaction.
- Finally, students will independently complete a worksheet, benefiting students who prefer to
work alone.

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.

6. Implementation of Strategies for Enhancing Lessons:

Part 4 – Assessment of Student Learning


TPE 1.5,1.8, 4.4, 5.1, 5.3, 5.5
Assessment Criteria for Success: How will the teacher and the student know if each of the specific objectives
identified above have been successfully met?

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.

Anticipatory Set: For engaging in initial problem solving and recruiting interest

Calm Classroom Mindfulness Meditation (3 minutes):


- Before beginning the math lesson, students will participate in a guided meditation through a video
on Calm Classroom. As they follow the instructions, they will relax their bodies, become aware of
their internal state, and prepare their minds for learning.

Monopoly Game Object Lesson (5 minutes)


- Think-Pair-Share: What is your favorite board game to play?
- Say: Growing up, my favorite game to play was Monopoly. My brother and I played all the time!
Who has ever played Monopoly? It involves earning money, buying properties, charging rent when
people land on your property, building houses and hotels, etc. The goal is to end up with the most
money and properties while everyone else goes bankrupt! Anyways, to play this game, you need
to be good at doing math – adding and subtracting 100s, 10s, and 1s.
- Why else do we need to learn how to add and subtract big numbers? Ex: Making large purchases
at a store, total number of pages you have read from several books, miles driven on vacation, total
piece of Halloween candy, total number of people at a school, game points, etc.
- Say: Today, I will be giving out money to students who are paying attention, being respectful,
working hard, answering correctly, and using math vocabulary. Whoever has the most money at
the end of the lesson will win candy!
o Note: Treat the money with respect (don’t bend it), store it in or under your pencil box, wait
until the end to count it.

Connect to Prior Learning/Learning Goal: 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 use strategies to add multiples of 100 and some tens. We will also explain our math thinking with each
other, using math vocabulary.

Clarify Lesson Outline:


1. Example Problems
2. Whiteboard Practice
3. Gone Fishin’ Game Worksheet
4. Closing & Monopoly Money Winner!

Body –
The Seven Step Lesson Plan would suggest these stages: Teach and/or Model, Check for Understanding, Guided
Practice, Independent Practice (TPE 1.8)

Direct Teaching (7 minutes):


- On the whiteboard, I will demonstrate how to solve 420 + 110 using five different strategies:
vertical form, arrow way, totals below, number bonds, and place value chart. I will clearly explain
the steps for each method as I intentionally use different colored markers. (Students are already
familiar with each of these methods).
- Afterwards, I will provide another example for students as I solve 590 + 240. This problem requires
students to bundle the tens.

Guided Practice – Whiteboards (15 minutes):

55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template

- 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.

Independent Practice (10 minutes):


- 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. Students will use at least 2 different strategies to solve the problems,
showing their work. They will be rewarded with Monopoly money when they finish, especially if
they use additional strategies.
- Students who finish early can draw on the back of their papers what they would do with their
money if it was real.

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!

Check for Understanding:

- 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.

Self-Assessment

Time to add up all of our Monopoly money to determine who the winner is!

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.

2. Student achievement of the lesson objective according to the data analysis:


a. Explain areas of successful achievement –

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.

b. support student access to and engagement with the content?

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.

Part 7 – Student Samples


Make copies or take clear pictures of student work for each level (ELL, and special needs students, and special
circumstance students). Write comments on the copies. Include scores according to the formative assessment
rubric categories. Also include information about how and what was communicated to the students regarding their
work.

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.
