Students will learn the new vocabulary word Join.
Students will learn how to solve addition word problems using the
counters and part-to-part mat through modeling instruction, guided
practice, and independent practice.
Description of Class:
I will be implementing my planning cycle in a general education
classroom of 20 students. Within this class of 20, two of the students
have an Individualized Education Plan. One student is identified with
Autism Spectrum Disorder and the other student for Specific Learning
Disability. There is also another student who is identified as having a
504 plan for ADHD.

Behavioral impulsivity
*This student is responding positively to an individualized behavioral
chart that provides self-selected rewards for behavioral goals.

Prerequisites:
Pre-assessment:
Yesterday students learned how to solve addition word problems by
using the counters and part-to-part mat. Today students will take the new
skill they learned yesterday and solve addition word problems using
pictures.
Purpose for Learning:
Students will learn how to solve addition word problems using pictures
in order to apply this skill for a variety of life skills.

Estimated time: 1 hour

Potential Us
Purpose: Classroom Instruction, Small Group
Grade: First
Content Areas: Math
Common Core: Mathematics
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.
CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.1 (grade 1): Use addition and subtraction
within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to,
taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with
unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and
equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the
problem.

Instructional Goals:
Students will apply what they learned yesterday in order to use
pictures instead of the counters and part-to-part mat to solve the
problems.

Objective:
Students will solve addition word problems by using pictures.
Variability:
The addition problems and all instructions will be read aloud. This
will help students who are auditory, have trouble reading,
comprehension problems, english language learners, and my students
with disabilities.
When the students are sitting on the carpet for the beginning of the
lesson, Will, Destiny, and Xavier will sit in their assigned seat. Xavier
will also bring his cushion to sit on.
Xavier's behavior chart will be implemented during this lesson.
Xavier may sit or stand when doing the guided practice worksheet
and independent work.
This lesson will be chunked into sections and will offer short
movement opportunities when needed.
Will will be tapped lightly on the shoulder in order to remind him to
pay attention.
Will, Destiny, and Xavier may have extra time to work on their
independent practice worksheet if needed.
Support will be provided to WIll, Destiny, and Xavier when
completing trying to come up with their own addition word problem.
They can either verbaly tell me their idea and I can help write or write
it down for them. I can also help them to come up with a problem.

Formative Assessment:
Students will solve addition word problems by using pictures.

 During the guided practice portion of the lesson I will be assessing

students understand of the new skills through observations. I will
walk around and check what students are doing on their worksheet,
through student answers, and facial expression.
Summative Assessment:
The independent practice worksheet will be use as the summative
assessment.
Instructional Methods:
Opening:
Have students sit on the carpet in front of the promethean board.
Read slide one.
Have students help you solve the warm up problem on slide two.
During:
Introduce New Knowledge
Read the objective on slide three.
Model New Skills and Knowledge
Model how to solve the addition word problems by using pictures.
Describe what you are doing whille you are doing it. Use the addition
word problems on silde four and five to demonstrate today's new
skill.
Guided Practice:
Have student go back to their desks.
Pass out guided practice worksheet to students.

 Put one of the worksheets up on the Elmo.

Guide the students through each question on the worksheet. Allow
students to show how they got their answer by displaying it on the
Elmo.
Independent Practice:
Pass out Independent practice worksheet.
Questions on this worksheet will be read aloud to students.
Then students will turn in their worksheet into the math basket.
Closing:
Students will complete the activity on slide seven. (Students are asked to
show what they learned today by making up their own addition word
problem and drawing pictures to go with it. Then they are asked to solve
their own word problem.
