Math

 

I. Standard(s) Being Addressed             2.MD.A.4 - Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.

                                                            2.MD.D.10 - Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems1 using information presented in a bar graph.

 

II. Essential Question                             How can we tell how long objects are?

 

III. Teaching Point/Performance

Goals                                                   Students will learn how to measure length to the nearest centimeter and to the nearest inch. Students will measure the length of a standing long jump in centimeters and the length of an arm span in inches.

                                                             

IV. Learning Activities                           

 

  1.  Mini Lesson                             I will ask my students, have you ever wondered how long the length of                                        your arm is?

I will demonstrate for my students what I mean when I use the term arm span.  

      Arm Span – extend both hands outward; measure fingertip to fingertip

 

I will ask for a volunteer to be measured and have the class look on to watch.

I will show my students the length of the volunteer’s arm span to the nearest inch and centimeter.

 

I will show my students two examples so they will see two attempts made.

 

  1. Accountable Talk                       I will ask my students do you get a larger number when you measure in                                       inches or in centimeters? And why?

 

I will look to see what the students would say regarding will they get a larger number in inches or centimeters and how will they support their claim with details.

 

       C. Guided Practice                         I will put the class into groups of three. In the groups, the students will report their measurements for standing long jumps in centimeters and arm spans measurements will be inches.

                                                           

                                                            I will assign a job to each group member:

                                                                        Jumper, Line Judge, Marker, Measurer

 

                                                            I will model for the students how to perform the long jump (also the arm span for any students who may need further clarification)

 

  1.        D. Independent Practice     Grape Group & Pear Group: Students will make up and solve number                                        stories about the longest leaps of different animals.

Apple Group (IEP) – Students will construct a bar graph with their data   (2 arm spans and 2 long jumps measurements)

 

If some students are finished before, they will complete page 175 in their Math Journal 2

 

      E.  Summary                                   I will have students share their work to the class.

 

F. Modifications / Accommodations   Extended time: 15 minutes. Since the children in the Apple Group                                                  have IEP’s, I will pair them with children from the other groups so they                                               can get help if needed.

 

IV. Assessment/Evaluation of                I will assess my students by using a rubric. I will use one rubric to assess how much the students were able to learn based on their levels. The rubric will be used to show each student’s individual growth. As I use this information I will reflect on the lesson and how I could have made it better. What I could have omit or include from the lesson? What I could have done differently to help those students who were challenged?
