Lesson Plan Outline for Teaching with Technology (Games) Your Name Academic Subject Beverly Kissane Mathematics Standards: State and/or Common Core CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.C.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. Subject(s) of the lesson Counting and Cardinality Compare numbers

Prerequisite Knowledge: What do they need to know? What will you have them recall? Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. Know number names and symbols. Content

Students wil l learn strategies to compare numbers presented as written numerals.

List the objectives for this lesson. They should include what the students will learn from your instruction Students will be able to compare numbers as evidenced by choosing the numeral that is more. Students will understand that numerals represent given quantities.

How will you teach the content? Details help. Include the game(s), what do you do before the games and how do you follow-up. Modeled/guided practice: In whole group, the teacher will present numerals in a Smart board activity. The teacher uses the Notebook screen shade to hide two pairs of numerals. She explains to kindergarten students that their job is to which number is more. But the twist is that the screen shade will only stay down for 3 seconds, and the student who tells how many must explain how they know. Independent practice: Student will work in pairs, viewing a Scratch game designed to flash two numbers on the screen. One student will operate the game while the other student names which number is more. Each student will complete 5 slides/backgrounds. After they name which has more, they will write the two numbers on a graphic organizer and circle the number that is more. The student must explain how they know which number is more to their partner each time they take a turn. Closure: Students will reconvene on the carpet and share the ways they compared two numbers on the Scratch game. They will use their recording sheet to help them explain their mathematical thinking. Additional materials you will use and how will you use them. Smart board/projector: Whole group/guided practice instruction. Smart Notebook Lesson: Students will view the number pairs to learn how to build fluency with comparing numbers. Teacher will utilize the screen shade as an important timing aspect of building automaticity. iPads: In pairs, students will complete the pre-made Scratch games.
