Lesson Plan #2
Coach Wren
10 February 2016
practice is what they will complete with their groups and they will then
put those problems onto the board and then we will talk them through
and work them together if need be. Once we are done going through
the guided practice together I will then have them get back with
groups of their choice and they will start working on the independent
practice that is in their workbooks as well. Every page of the
independent practice that they finish they will bring it to the back table
and check their work and I will be walking around the classroom to
help the students when they need help, also to make sure they are all
on track with what they are supposed to be doing.
What will the students understand? Big idea, principles, the point of
the lesson
Essential Question: What does it mean to say two quantities are equal?
What will the students know? Facts, vocabulary, memoriziable
information
Vocabulary:
Two-Step Equation: An equation having two different operations.
Memorizable Information:
When it is a two-step equation and there are two different operations
that need to be done, they will know which one to do first. You are
always going to mess with the number that does not have the variable
with it to begin with. Once you have the variable on one side and a
number on the other side, you will then get rid of the number in front
of the variable, or connected to the variable, if there is one. Once you
get rid of the number and have just the variable set equal to a number
that is your answer. Your last step is to always go back and check your
answer.
What will the students do? What skills will you assess
I will be assessing the students on the steps that they take to solve for
the variable within a two-step equation. The first step that they need
to take is to move the number that does not have the variable
connected to it to the other side of the equation. The last step that
they need to do is to get the variable by itself. After that step is
complete and they have the variable set equal to a number they will
then go back and check their answers, therefore they will take the
number that the variable equals and plug it back into the equation in
the beginning. Those are the skills that I want the students to acquire
that day, and those are the skills that I will be assessing the students
on.
Pre-Assessment: How will you find out about where your students are
at for this lesson?
Before we begin the lesson for the day they will be completing the bell
work for that day. This will give me an idea on where they are at, as to
whether they understand the previous lesson enough to keep moving
on. This will be done before we begin the lesson for that day. If the
majority of the class is having issues, that is fine because we will be
doing day 2 of two-step equations. Day 2 of this lesson is just a lot
more practice for the students to try and better their understanding of
the steps that need to be taken.
Steps in the Lesson: Include ideas for whole class instruction,
differentiated activities, sharing, etc.
As a whole class we will work through a problem together before we
even open up our workbooks. Once that is finished and they are
allowed to open their workbooks they will then split into their small
groups, which are the tables that they are sitting at, and they will
complete the guided practice. Once everyone is finished with the
guided practice I will then pick students to go to the board and show us
how they worked the problems. Once each student that was picked as
finished the problem on the board we will then come back together as
a whole group and talk through each problem together. After we are
completed with the guided practice I will then let them get into small
groups, or individually if that is what they prefer, and they will be
working on the independent practice that is in their workbooks. Each
independent practice page that they complete they will come to the
back table and check their answers before they continue onto the next
page. The independent practice they complete will be their
homework for the day. They will get plenty of practice in throughout
the class period that they will not be given a homework assignment.
Closure: this may be in the form of independent practice, a chance to
share, or a restatement of the lesson goals
The independent practice that they will be completing is the
independent practice pages in their workbooks. Each page that they
complete of their independent practice they will check at the back
table to make sure they got it correct before they keep going. This will
give me a chance to see where all of the students are at with solving
two-step equations, and it will also give me a chance to walk around
and help students individually that need the help. The independent
practice that is in their workbook is my way of assessing their
knowledge and seeing where they are at with this area in particular.
The independent practice will be their homework for the day, but I
would rather them complete it within the classroom so that if they
have any questions they will be able to ask right away and get the help
that they need.
Post- Assessment: How will you use this data to inform the next
learning experience?
