Standards/Quality Indicators/Skills
Missouri and national standards, quality indicators, and skills addressed by this lesson
o Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction
o Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract
o SMP1- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
o SMP4- Model with Mathematics

Learning Objectives/Goals
The lesson’s objectives and learning outcomes appropriate for meeting curricular and student needs
o For students to be able to solve two-step number stories

Assessment (type(s) of assessment used throughout the lesson)

Assessment(s) before, during, and after the lesson
Before- Give the students the opportunity to solve one step equations using the human
number line in the classroom
During- After completing the first question in our small group, I will walk around to see where
everyone is at doing it on their own and assisting. Then will have students come up and teach
the rest of their small group how they figured it out.
After- For morning work the next day they will have an exit slip assessing what they learned
from the lesson
Lesson Structure and Procedures
Sequence of events of the lesson elements. (The before, during, and after the lesson, e.g.
Engagement/Opening, Procedures, Guided Practice, Conclusion
o Have a volunteer read problem 1 on journal page 150 aloud.
o Explain that you can break this number story into two steps to solve
o Display and fill in a change diagram to model the first step. Write 9 in the start box,
+12 on the change line, and ? in the end box
o Ask the students what the ? stands for in this problem
o Ask the students how we can find the number of shells Annabelle has at this point.
o Ask for different ways to find out what 9+12 is
o Repeat this for the next step as well -4
o Explain that if they want they can write the change problem as 9+12-4 even if they
don’t want to use this
o Repeat for questions 2-4
 o Go over number 5 as a whole group

Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives and meet their needs
o Explain that you can break this number story into two steps to solve
o Have a volunteer read problem 1 on journal page 150 aloud.
o Explain that you can break this number story into two steps to solve
o Display and fill in a change diagram to model the first step. Write 9 in the start box,
+12 on the change line, and ? in the end box

o Explain that if they want they can write the change problem as 9+12-4 even if they
don’t want to use this
o Repeat for questions 2-4
Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objective
o Students will get the chance to fill in the change diagram model for two step number
problems
o Students will be able to explain what the ? in the box represents
o Students will get to draw pictures/diagrams to help them solve the two part number
stories
o Students will get to create their own number stories and solve them

Resources and Materials

List of materials used in the planning of and during the instruction of the lesson
o Everyday Math Journal pg. 150-151
o Pencil
o Number line
o White Boards
o Expo Markers

Technology
Instructional and/or assistive technology incorporated into the lesson to enhance instruction and
student learning
o I will use the Smart Board to display the same worksheet the students are working on
in their book

Differentiated/Accommodations/Modifications/Increase in Rigor
To help meet the needs of all learners, learning differences, cultural and language differences, etc.
Enrichment- If the Tier 1 group gets done early they will get to come up with word problems
that are three steps long
 Modification- For the Tier 3 group we probably will have to do more problems such as 1-3
and make sure we understand those first
Allow students to draw pictures/diagrams if this helps them

Classroom Management
Strategies consistent with the learning needs of the lesson that also meet student behavior needs to
help keep students on task and actively engaged
o Students will be seated at the carpet
o They will be seated crisscross applesauce, mermaid, or mountain
o They are expected to raise their hand to speak
o They are expected to use silent signals if they need to get up for any reason
o I will give each student 3 reminders and after that they will have to go to the safe
place until they are ready to be an active learner

Extensions
Activities for early finishers that extend students’ understanding of and thinking about the learning
objectives by applying their new knowledge in a different way
Tier 1 group will get the opportunity to come up with their own number word problems and
will then get to solve them.

Follow-up to Today’s Lesson

Quick activity for review or building on today’s learning that will deepen student understanding and
interconnect concepts (may be incorporated tomorrow or throughout the unit
There will be an exit slip for all the students the next morning during morning work for the
students to review what they learned the day before

Special Circumstances/Focus for Observation/Additional Information

Any special circumstances of which the observer should be awareAny area or lesson component that
may not have been covered by this format that you think is vital to include in this lesson
- Students will be able to use the life-sized number line to solve the problems if they
need it

Follow-Up: Use this space to summarize major observations, reflections, evaluative

comments, and future goals from the lesson following observation of the lesson and the
discussion to debrief after the lesson.
