Description and Background the hook of the lesson. The teacher will ask students, What does it Information mean to compare something? The teacher will go through the sample

The Problem Solving Mat which will have a sample question will serve as

problem on the www.pearsonsuccess.net with the students step by step. The teacher will work through the guided section on the worksheet with the students. Questions will be asked such as, Which place value should you look at first when deciding which number is greater or what if the number in the hundreds place in both numbers is the same? The other question will be What does it mean when two numbers are the same? The students will complete the independent section on the worksheet to show they have internalized the knowledge. The teacher will conclude the lesson by reviewing how to compare two-digit numbers. The teacher will wrap up the lesson by instructing the students to practice comparing two-digit numbers at home with his or her parents. The students will complete an assessment on comparing two-digit numbers.
What will students be able to do at the conclusion of this lesson? Make sure that your objective(s) are measurable.

Lesson Objectives

The students will be able to compare two three-digit numbers with 80% accuracy.
How will I vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material? How will I vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept? How will I vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English?

Varying Objectives for Individuals Needs

For students who do not understand the material, the teacher will work with those students on comparing two one-digit numbers to begin with.

PART III: REFLECTION

Describe the strengths of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management. Describe the strengths of student engagement.

Strengths

A strength of the lesson was I reviewed ordering numbers from least to greatest. This was helpful to the students because it is important to understand how to order the numbers before they can compare them. During the lesson, the students were very engaged and enjoyed making up numbers to compare.
Describe the weaknesses of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management. Describe the weaknesses of student engagement.
