Lesson Based on Learning Theories

Grade: 2nd

Subject: Math

Unit: Building fluency with addition and subtraction

Standard: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems

involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with

unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown

the children. The students will already have knowledge of one-step word

problems, so the teacher should use knowledge to assist her in teacher the

new material.

problems to help them explain the new concept to the students.

Teacher Role- Teacher is supplying the word problems to the students so that

they become accustomed to working on the harder topic.

Student Role- Students will work out the equations causing them to become

comfortable with the two-step word problems due to answering them so

many times.

Social Learning Theory

Assignment- While students are working in groups on the worksheet, the

teacher should walk around to assist the students as needed. The worksheet

should be challenging to the students so that they will learn the material
