Stefanie Fleenor Term IV: Math Lesson Plan Goals/ Objectives o Students will revisit fractions and units

of measure. o Students will review time. o Students will be able to explain how the Ashanti prepare their food in the context of the Ashanti environment. o Students will know how Ashantis eat (The food they eat). Standards o 2.3.4.A.Use concrete objects to demonstrate an understanding of measurement quantities (e.g., length, weight, temperature). o 2.3.5.A.Use concrete objects to demonstrate the meaning of measurement quantities (e.g., perimeter, area, weight, capacity). o 2.3.4.B.Select and use appropriate tools and units for measuring quantities (e.g., length, time, weight, temperature). Material and preparation o Promethean board so that students see the recipe. o Food in recipe o Tools for measuring (measuring cups, watch) o Tools for cooking (pans, oven) o Recipe for Bananas Ghana. Ritual or routine o I will be using the schedule/ routine already in place o Students will be seated at the carpet for instructional time. o Students will then be dismissed to go to groups to help prepare the recipe. The steps will be placed on the Promethean board. Classroom arrangement and management issues o This lesson will be taught on the carpet, where students are accustomed to having math lessons. o I have chosen this location and these routines because they have been effective for the students and lead teacher thus far. Plan Hook (10 minutes) o I will ask students if they can think of any of the foods that Ashanti/ Ghanaians would eat based on the stories and science

lessons we have done. o I will then tell students we will be eating a traditional Ghana dessert. o The body of the lesson o We will review fractions, measurements, sequences, and kitchen safety(50 minutes). o Students will then be broken into groups and will begin to prepare the food. Assessment of the goals/ objectives listed above o Students will be assessed based on their ability to use measurement and fractions. o Students will be assessed on their ability to make sense of why Ghana foods are prepared the way they are in relation to environment. o Students will also be assessed on their ability to work effectively in a group and on participation Anticipating students response Management issues o I do not anticipate time management issues. The food shall not take that long to prepare. The actual cooking time can be time that we move on to writing. o Children will start at the rug. They will go to desks in groups for food preparation. Response to content of the lesson o Some students may struggle with recalling previous information. In this case, I will reduce fractions to more reasonable amounts. Also, students may have issues working in groups. If this is the case, the entire group will be asked to sit down and do fraction worksheets. In order to avoid this, the lesson will be posed as an exciting lesson. Students will be in charge of their own behavior. I will remind children that I want them to learn AND have fun, but they must be safe and not hinder the learning or fun of others. Accommodations Accommodations for students who may find the material too challenging o Some students may struggle with recalling previous information. In this case, I will reduce fractions to more reasonable amounts. Accommodations for students who may need a greater challenge and/or finish early o For groups that finish early, I will ask them to join other groups and help them.

o Students who require a greater challenge will be asked to invent a recipe using the same ingredients.
