Formal Evaluation
N/A
Informal Evaluation
As the students are completing the activities, I, the
teacher will be observing their ability to accomplish the
task (match the numbers, sort the balls according to
size, and sort the golf balls according to color).

Objective

Bloom's Taxonomy

Webb's Depth of
Knowledge (DOK)

During a matching game, pre kindergarten students will

be able to individually match the number of dots on an
object to its corresponding symbol with 100% accuracy.
As a group, pre kindergarten students will be able to
arrange a variety of sports equipment according to size
with 100% accuracy.
During a sorting game, pre kindergarten students will
be able to individually sort golf balls based on color
with 100% accuracy.

Introduction
Activating Prior Knowledge
Do the children know the different types of sports
equipment?
o In a bag, I will have a variety of sports balls
Soccer ball, gold ball, baseball, football,
basketball, hockey puck
o I will pull the balls out of a bag one at a time and

Lesson Procedure
Must include
adaptations &
accommodations
for students with

have the children try to identify the ball and what

sport it is played in.
For each ball, I will also ask the students if
they know anything about that sport
Where is it played (on a field, in a
court, on the ice)
Teams that play this sport (Steelers,
penguins, pirates)
The time of the year its played
(Spring, fall, winter, summer)
Hook/Lead-In/Anticipatory Set
I will read the Story Nice Hit! You Can Play Baseball by
Nick Fauchald with the children
o Move the children up closer to my seat
o Go through open shut them with the children
o Once the story is completed, have the children
move back to their piece of tape in the circle

Big Idea Statement

Mathematical relationships among numbers can be
represented, compared, and communicated.
Measurement attributes can be quantified and estimated
using non-customary units of measure.
Mathematical relations and functions can be modeled
through multiple representations and analyzed to raise
and answer questions
Essential Questions
How is mathematics used to quantify, compare,
represent, and model numbers?
Why does what we measure influence how we
measure?
How can data be organized and represented to provide
insight into the relationship between quantities.
Key Vocabulary
Football
Basketball
Baseball
Hockey
Golf
Bowling
Tennis
Volleyball

Pre-Assessment of Students
As a group, the children will be sorting the different balls
by size.
1. Each child in the circle will have a ball. After
placing the smallest ball (golf ball) down, they will

Modifications

need to work together to decide which ball comes

next.
This activity will give me, the teacher, a general
understanding of each of the childrens math skills. From
this information I will be able to differentiate accordingly
when the children are at the tables completing the
individual activities.
Modeling of the Concept
Group activity
1. I will choose the smallest ball (golf ball) and use it
as a guide to show where the chain of comparison
begins
Number matching
1. As the children are in the circle, I will give an
example of a baseball number that matches the
number of dots on a bat
Sorting
1. I will take a handful of colored golf balls and sort
them according to color, showing the children how
they should be sorting at the table
Transition
Open Shut them for the story
Children will move from their seat in the circle to place a
given ball in the correct position based on size
Children will sit back on the tape while they are being
given the instructions for the activities at the tables
After completing the activities at the tables, the children
will come back to the circle for a review of the activities
Guiding the Practice
There will be either a work-study or myself at the tables
with each of the tables. We will be available to answer
any questions the students may have or aid in a task the
child is unable to complete on his or her own.
Can ask supplementary questions as the children are
completing the activities
1. For sorting: Which color has the most? The least?
Do any have the same amount? Can you finish this
pattern?
Providing the Independent Practice
Each of the students will have the opportunity to
complete the tasks at the tables individually.
Adaptations/Accommodations for Students with Special Needs
For the student on the Autism Spectrum
1. When completing the number matching activity,
the student will be provided with two options to
choose from for an answer
For the gifted student
1. When completing the number matching activity,
the student will be given simple addition and

Baseballs/bats with numbers
Colored golf balls

basketball, bowling ball, hockey puck, tennis ball, and
baseball)
Summary & Review of the Learning
The students will return to the circle. As a group, we will
match 5 of the baseballs and bats. We will also sort the
colored golf balls together to reinforce the concepts
