Mathematics lesson plan design and implementation

Kindergarten Math Plan

Stage 1-Desired Results

Established Goals

Students will be able to count to 100 by recognizing, writing, and typing the numbers. Students will be able to count in multiples of 3, 5, and 10. Students will be able to understand how numbers represent groups of objects.

Transfer

Students will be able to understand how objects, such as groups, interact with numbers and what each one means or represents.

Meaning

UNDERSTANDINGS

Students will understand that numbers tell how much and how many is in a group. They will make inferences, such as how many students in the class.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

Students will keep considering how many is in a group, and fewer, more, or equal to concepts.

Acquisition

Students will know how numbers interact with groups, fewer, more, or equal.

Students will be skilled at concepts of counting and fewer, more, or equal to.

Stage 2-Evidence

Code

Evaluative Criteria

All desired results will be addressed.

Observation of demonstration of counting, counting in multiples of 3,5, and 10, reading, writing, and typing numbers, recognizing fewer, more, or equal to.

PERFORMANCE TASK(S):

Students will show that they really understand by evidence of counting to 100, counting in multipes, reading, writing, and typing numbers, and demonstrations of the concepts in groups. Students will show they have achieved Stage 1 goals by comparing numbers and groups in written material.

OTHER EVIDENCE:

Students will demonstrate critical thinking skills, motivation to achieve, stronger comprehension skills, and spatial temporal reasoning, with increases in thought processes and growth in positive social skills (Critical Evidence). Students will demonstrate achievement of real world knowledge (Nichols, 2002). Students will demonstrate growth in positive social skills of self-confidence, self-control, conflict resolution, collaboration, empathy, and social tolerance.

Stage 3-Learning Plan

Code

Pre-Assessment

Observation for individualization to assess how each child learns, interacts with others, and to assess thought processes of reasoning ability, intuition, perception, imagination, inventiveness, creativity, problem-solving, and expression.

Students will learn to apply what they learn to real world situations.

Learning Events

Student success at transfer, meaning, and acquisition depends upon

Students interaction with each other and how they learn from one another.

How students mentally engage with course concepts and consider their own progress toward goals.

How well students learn to count, count in multiples, learn relationships between numbers and quantities.

How each student understands that each number name represents the count of one larger and the last number name stated is the number of objects in the group.
