Description and
Background Information
Lesson Objectives
Statement of Purpose
First, there will be a problem posted on the board. Students will have two minutes to
complete the problem. The problem will encourage them to think and use prior
knowledge. Afterwards, I will show them the answer and move straight into the lesson. I
will model three problems for the children to observe. We will then complete three
problems together. After the children have somewhat mastered the skill, I will play a game
with them to push accuracy and speed. After the game is played, then a short assessment
will follow.
What will students be able to do at the conclusion of this lesson? Make sure that your
objective(s) are measurable.
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to write a fraction with a denominator of 10
or 100 using decimal numbers as a fraction and demonstrate their knowledge with a 70%
accuracy on a test afterwards.
How will you vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material?
For those who do not understand, I will pull them into small groups and try reteaching the
concept using another way of breaking down the content with the PowerPoint allowing
them to use more visuals and fraction manipulatives. That would allow them to visualize
and will make the learning more interesting.
How will you vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept?
I will provide an extension to the lesson by allowing them to convert higher numbers
using only models. I will also push real- life scenarios. This will help the students to
visualize how math is used in real life.
How will you vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English? For
ELLS I plan on speaking at a moderate pace, being sure to include a lot of visuals.
Why is it important for the students to learn this content?
It is important because students need to be able to recognize that fractions and decimals
are used in everyday life. They need to realize when fractions and decimals are equivalent
in value no matter what form it is in.
Anticipatory Set
What materials and supplies are needed to help your students achieve the stated
objectives? What will the teacher need? What will the students need? What other
resources are needed? Will you use resource speakers?
Students: SC PASS math workbook, Index cards, Microsoft Powerpoint, Paper, Math
notebooks, Pencils
Teacher: Computer , math book, markers, paper, pencils, math journal, Powerpoint
What will you do to motivate the students and get their attention? What is the hook
that will serve as a focus for the lessons activities?
I will tell the students a little background about what we are about to get into. I will present
a problem to them that gets them excited about what we are learning that day. The
problem itself serves as a bridge that links content they already know to content that they
are learning. They will have 2 mins to complete.

Closure
How will you find out what students already know about this topic?
I will go around and observe how they choose to work out the problem that was given to
them. I will ask them how they got their answers.
What will you do to show students what is expected?
An agenda will be shown at the beginning of class showing them the plans for the day and
what is expected of them in order for everything to work out. I will work out 3 problems on
my own with the students simply watching and observing me without any help from them.
I will go through and explain each step of problem solving. Repetition will be the key.
What will we do together as they learn how to succeed at the new task?
We will complete three problems together. I will ask students to write down key notes from
the lesson. I will give students time to complete each problem. Then, I will call upon
certain students in the classroom (some that struggle and some that master it) to
demonstrate what they have done.
What questions will you ask to determine if students understand so far? What techniques
or strategies will be used to determine if students understand so far?
After I have taught the lesson, I will be asking probing questions to remind the students of
the steps to problem solving. I also ask these questions to make sure that the students
know why they are doing this.
What does the TH stand for ?
What would the fraction form look like?
Why are we doing this?
What will students do by themselves to show that they have internalized the knowledge?
The students will complete an assessment that is attached. The assessment is a 4-problem
assessment that assesses just what I have taught.
How will you conclude the lesson and relate it to future experiences? How will you wrap
up the lesson to reinforce concepts taught during the lesson?
I wrapped up the lesson by asking the students what they learned. I added my input by
extending their responses. I extended their responses with key points that I wanted them to
remember from the lesson.
What will students do to demonstrate what they have learned?
Assessment
What can students do at home or in the classroom to apply the knowledge or skills? How
could you use your colleagues or community agencies to improve student performance?
They could get pictures of fractions and decimals that they see in a local grocery store
and various other places and bring the pictures in to allow the class to convert the
different prices to fractions etc.
To get the community involved, we could get a representative from the local store to come
and speak to the students about how important it is to know how to convert fractions for
future references.()
Technology
Connection Across the
Curriculum
How will you use technology to assist students with learning the concepts? What technology will you
use to enhance the delivery and comprehension of your content?
The students would be allowed to use IPADS to do compass learning in their free time.. We also will
use a lumens digital camera to help guide lesson.
How will you connect this lesson with other content areas across the curriculum? Include the other
content areas as well as the Arts, PE and Health.
Reading- they will read to take notes and follow along
Math- observation time will be timed so they must be conscious of time management
ELA- Students repeat key notes
Arts- students have to draw models
PE- students will stand up to go to the board
Health- students will hear about how big of a role water plays in the health of all living things
Strengths
The students really enjoyed the lesson. It got them engaged and physical. The objective was
fulfilled. My students mastered the test on this content because they were incorporated
into the learning process. They really enjoy anything that is called a Game
Describe the weaknesses of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management.
Describe the weaknesses of student engagement.
Weaknesses
Suggestions for
Improvement
One of the weaknesses of the lesson was that the lesson was started a little late, which caused
the time to be cut back. Time management is also the key here. If I managed the time during
guided practice a little more, then my students would have had enough time to finish their
assessment.
What would you change when teaching this lesson again?
When I teach this lesson again, I will be sure to have a timer for myself and a clock nearby..
