Lesson Idea Name: Counting within 1000 by skip counting.

Grade Level/Content Area: Second Grade Math Skills
Content Standard Addressed: MGSE2.NBT.2 Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and
100s.
ISTE Technology Standard Addressed:  What would you like students to know and

their intended audiences.

What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea?

Students will be able to skip count numbers within 100. Students will also understand the
concept that 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, as well as 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700,
800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds with 0 tens
and 0 ones.

How will this lesson be implemented? Check all that apply.

☐ Teacher-directed: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations.

☐ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic for
presentation and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. Products of
learning will be uniquely designed. Teacher simply facilitates the learning in a lesson like this.

☐ Project-based and/or Publishable: Students are completing projects to demonstrate their learning
and the projects can be shared outside of the classroom. This objective could be reached by
displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom
blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing it via an outside source.

Lesson idea implementation:

To begin the lesson, I will play the eBook on the smart board for all the students to watch.
We will then go over the standards of the content that they will be learning and talking
about. Students will then get into groups or pairs of their choice and talk about how to skip
count as well as all the different ways of skip counting there are. After this discussion is
complete, students will have the freedom to create a story that involves skip counting. In this
story, there should be a math problem that is being solved. Students can brainstorm on paper
with writing, drawing, or both. Once they have completed their story, they will move their
story into an eBook through PowerPoint to make a final product. Once everyone has a
completed eBook and everything is turned in, students will come up and share their eBook
with the class.

Managing the technology/engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that
gets students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts? How will you manage the
classroom behaviors on the technology:
This activity will require students to work together, apply their knowledge, analyze their math
problem to be able to solve it for the class, evaluate the quality of their math problem, and
most importantly create a strong math problem! If the students get stuck, I will use the “Ask
3, Then Me” strategy. They will be in groups so applying this method will be extremely
helpful. The students will have 30 minutes to brainstorm what their story will be about, and
then another 30 minutes to transfer this information into an eBook.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

Lesson Idea

This activity uses the principles of representation and engagement. The students are using
the principle of representation because they are using more of a student-led approach. They
are able to explain their math problems visually and verbally while also expressing different
ways of support and access to understanding the content. The principle of engagement is put
to use as the students are engaging with each other. Students are able to bounce their ideas
off of each other and support one another, showing their motivation and enthusiasm for
learning.

Reflecting on enhanced learning:

I believe the activity I have for the students helps them be engaged and excited to learn. I
also know that second graders like the feeling of independence and freedom, so giving them
the opportunity to choose their own math problems to create and solve as a group will
motivate them to want to learn. The “Ask 3, then me” method is also helpful to let students
learn from each other in a way they might not have understood otherwise. I look forward to
watching my students apply the curriculum they learned and turn it into a student-led
project. Watching them help and motivate one another will really demonstrate their
understanding of the standards.
