Direct Instruction Lesson Plan Template

Teachers: Subject:
Christian Pardo Math
Common Core State Standards:
 A2.S-CP.A.5 Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence utilizing real-
world context.
Objective (Explicit):
 For the students to be able to use conditional probability in a real-world situation.
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
 Include a copy of the lesson assessment.
 Provide exemplar student responses with the level of detail you expect to see.
 Assign value to each portion of the response.

I will show the copy of the work they completed on their own.

Sub-objectives, SWBAT (Sequenced from basic to complex):

 How will you review past learning and make connections to previous lessons?
 What skills and content are needed to ultimately master this lesson objective?
 How is this objective relevant to students, their lives, and/or the real world?
I will show how probability connects to the past objective. I will also show how the importance of
probability in the real world by using pirates as a theme.

Opening (state objectives, connect to previous learning, and make relevant to real life)
 How will you activate student interest?
 How will you connect to past learning?
 How will you present the objective in an engaging and student-friendly way?
 How will you communicate its importance and make the content relevant to your students?
I will use the theme of pirates to help engaged the students. I would show how it
connects to the last objective with similarities between them.

them step by step on how to solve for the probability using
tables.
I will use a power point with example I made to help the
students.
I will check for understanding while the students are
following the examples.

 Teacher Will:
 How will you ensure that all students have multiple
opportunities to practice new content and skills?
 What types of questions can you ask students as
you are observing them practice?
 How/when will you check for understanding?
 How will you provide guidance to all students as
they practice?
 How will you explain and model behavioral
expectations?
 Is there enough detail in this section so that
another person could facilitate this practice?
I will have other examples like my notes and
Guided Practice
my examples for the students to work on with
my help.
The question I ask are about what steps they
did first and why.
To see if the students understood what the first
step we took or if the student was just getting
lucky.
Teacher Will:
 How will you plan to coach and correct during this
practice?
 How will you provide opportunities for remediation and
extension?
 How will you clearly state and model academic and
behavioral expectations?
 Did you provide enough detail so that another person
Independent Practice
could facilitate the practice?
While the students are working on examples
independently or in small groups I will walk
around and answer any questions the students
may have.
Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections:
 How will students summarize and state the significance of what they learned?
 Why will students be engaged?
Student Will:
 How will students practice all knowledge/skills required
of the objective, with your support, such that they
continue to internalize the sub-objectives?
 How will students be engaged?
 How will you elicit student-to-student interaction?
 How are students practicing in ways that align to
independent practice?
They will go over some problems with me as a
class and I will have them choose all the steps to
solve the problem. I will guide them to the right
answer if they didn’t get it right. If another student
wants to help and guide them along I will always
allow that to take place.
Student Will:
 How will students independently practice the knowledge and
skills required by the objective?
 How will students be engaged?
 How are students practicing in ways that align to
assessment?
 How are students using self-assessment to guide their own
learning?
 How are you supporting students giving feedback to one
another?
They will work in small groups or on their own to
see if they understood the concept of the objective
on examples.
They will be working on homework problems that
are the same as the examples to grasp the
understanding of what we are talking about.

I will want to have the students provided me an example they made up on their own as a ticket out the door
and the best one will be placed in the test or quiz with slightly altered numbers.
