Sample Lesson Plan: Stage 1 - Desired Results
Sample Lesson Plan: Stage 1 - Desired Results
Content Standard(s):
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.4: For any number from 1 to 9, find the
number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or
drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation (Common Core State
Standards Initiative, 2012).
Understandings:
Student will understand that…
● Addition means putting together.
● Numbers can be combined or reduced to new amounts, either bigger or
smaller.
● Different numbers can be added together to get the same result.
Essential Question:
● How can different approaches/combinations be used to solve a problem?
Performance Task(s):
● The goal of this lesson is to help my student correctly identify sums up to
10. I will provide the student with guided and individual work time to assess
his understanding of the standards.
● The student will need to demonstrate understanding through correctly
solving problems on worksheets, computer activities, and oral-based
games/assessments.
Self-Assessments
● Student is given a larger sticker chart to keep track of his progress over the
weeks.
● The student will also have separate sticker charts for individual assessments
to stand in as rubrics.
Learning Activities:
To ensure that we stay on task and get a full 60 minutes of lesson time, I will use a
timer to transition from each task.
● Introduction/Essential Question (5 minutes): This will introduce my student
to the central theme of the lesson. I will highlight the progress he has made
over the weeks and remind him of the standards we have
unpacked/accomplished thus far. I will unpack the materials we will use,
while asking the student what he anticipates we will focus on for the day
using the materials as clues. I will then have the student assist me in setting
up three different work stations. (Curiosity, connection, coherence)
● Pre-assessment (5 minutes): Complete worksheet which will assess students’
ability to count up to 10. (Connection)
● Review pre-assessment (5 minutes)- Score student to assess their
understanding; assist student in completing sticker chart/rubric for the
pre-assessment. (Coaching)
● Station 1 (15 minutes): Using pre-arranged groups of Magna-Tiles of
differing amounts, student will be asked to replicate a design by adding the
correct number of Magna-Tiles to the existing pile to make structures
consisting of a total of 10 Magna-Tiles. The student will construct different
structures and then review with me. (Coherence, Concentration,
Coaching)
● Station 2 (10 minutes)- Using Swedish Fish and Starbursts, I will make 4
different groups with differing amounts of each candy. The student will be
asked to identify which groups of the candy contain a total of 10 pieces. For
example, one group will have 6 Swedish Fish and 4 Starbursts, another
group will have 3 Swedish Fish and 3 Starbursts, another group will have 5
of each candy, and the final group will have 7 Starbursts and 3 Swedish
Fish. Review the results. (Concentration, Context, Coaching)
● Station 3 (5 minutes)- Using Velcro puppets and puppet board provided by
the library, student will be asked to create 2 different puppets using a total of
10 pieces. The student can decide how many pieces are used for each puppet
as long as it makes a total of 10. (Curiosity, Context, Concentration).
● Computer game (10 minutes)- Student will play a game on one of the library
computers to further practice related math standards. (Coherence,
Concentration)
● Wrap up/review (5 minutes)- Assess any questions the student might have.
Update sticker charts to share with parents. (Coaching, Coherence,
Connection)
Students will know what they need to improve and work towards mastery
through…
● Learning Targets
● Oral feedback on learning targets
● Sticker chart/rubric completeness
