My favorite elementary grade was 2nd grade so I chose a lesson and activity for this grade off of UEN.ORG Website. The standard is that students should be able to add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies by the end of 2nd grade. Students should also know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

I went home and I asked my children to play one of the games and they liked it. The game had the students engaged because I was engaged when I was playing and so were my kids. The interesting part is that the game is that it could be challenging but that will power of passing to the next level make you keep going. The game is also fun to play and you learn at the same time. Math being a concept that many children hate because of misconception this game can make them change their mind about math concepts. It also can be great for children to interact with one another as they help each other out when they get stuck in a particular section. This activity was so fun and interesting, that I am sure that many children will like it as

Students will develop understanding and strategies to solve addition and subtraction word problems with 20.

2. Solve addition and substation word problems and add and subtract with 10, e.g., by using objects or drawing to represent the problem.

[As a result of the step by step direction in the reengagement lesson, I want students to be able fully grasp the concept of addition; and how the knowledge of addition can be used to provide answers to expressions that require the decomposition of numbers totaling 8, 9, 10. The state standard that I am addressing in this reengagement lesson is 1.OA.1 Common Core State standards; use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together,

At: Students at grade level will be expected to complete 6-8 of the three digit addition problems during the provided activity time. At grade level students will be expected to use at least one of the provided strategies to solve for the sum. Students who finish early will be asked to draw a picture or write and explanation of the strategy/strategies they used to find the sum. The teacher will direct students who are early finishers to complete this task individually. Slow finishes will be provided with three, two-digit addition problems

Artifact: The artifact is to execute a mathematics learning plan for fourth graders that facilitates and encourages both individual and group motivation whilst encouraging social interaction while both levels of motivation are being fostered. As suggested by the assignment and principle, heavy use will be made of technology as it is proven that technology can be used to facilitate and speed the learning process as well as interactions among the group.

The next area we have is blocks. In this area we have different types of blocks, cars, and signs so students can set up items like a town. We have tool sets, animals, and farm sets. This area fosters their imagination as well as develops their communication skills. Another area was dramatic play which fits with these two program goals as well. In this area we have items like career costumes, make believe costumes, food, and kitchen sets. This area also promotes health and nutrition by having healthy

Melissa is able to do simple subtraction problems like 5-1 but larger numbers in subtraction is problematic for this student. I demonstrated to her two approaches to subtraction problems. First, is applying the counter and the second is by drawing pictures on a scrap paper. This allows her to see how to subtract the numbers. For example, 15-3 I drew 15 circles and I explain to her to cross out 3 circles. Then explain to her to count how many circles are left. The few homework, I assisted Melissa had word problems. I helped her by underlining keywords in the word problem and on a side piece of paper I wrote sum=total, less=subtract (-). If she sees certain keywords she will understand what type of problem she is solving. With practice, Melissa will be able to do these types of math problems quickly. She eventually started to understand the math problems with some

To begin the game have the student sit around the table, choose a game piece. Choose which player will go first, second and so on. I will usually start with the student on my left and go clock-wise. To play the game the teacher or aid will give the student a vocabulary word from the list or cards provided to define, if the student provides the correct answer, then the student can take a turn and move their game piece that many places. If the student answers incorrect, talk the correct answer

To hook the students into our lesson, I will tap into their prior knowledge and develop students’ interest by completing the dot plate activity. Before introducing the game I will model to the students using the dot plates and use the key language to review what greater than, less than, and equal to groups are. I will hold up two different plates and count the dots on each plate, one plate at a time. I will then think aloud about which group is greater than the other, I will then pick the plate that is greater than and explain why it is the greater than group. I will do the same for two plates with one group that is less than, and then again with two plates that are equal. I will then explain the rules of the dot plate game. Each student will

Mathematical Genius Community (MAGIC) managing a math competition biweekly, mainly for third graders to eighth graders attending the Young Explorers School. In these competitions, math concepts (algebra, geometry, probability, number sense, and counting) will be covered in order to enrich the student's knowledge. The competitions will be free of cost. Our main goal is for children to expand their mathematical knowledge through competition. We will host an individual test taken by everyone. Then, students will be placed in groups based on their score to take team tests. The testing portion of the competition will take around two hours with short breaks in between the

Today Mrs Roush decided that she wanted her student to master the multiplication since a lot were having a hard time in mastering their 6,7 and 8 multiplications. Mrs Roush decided to make it fun and interesting since the class was not looking forward for multiplication. The teacher had set up each table with 5 kids and a pack of Math grab. Math grab is an awesome flash card game. It’s a game that in each round, one player flips over a card, and everyone else quickly reviews their cards to determine if they have a match they will grab it and discard. First player to discard all cards wins.

Everyday, teachers are faced with the challenge of teaching students new information that is valuable to their future. Teachers are responsible to determine what and how information is taught. How this information is taught to students is pertinent to their success; therefore, teachers must be able to use effective teaching methods in the classroom. Students have diverse learning styles; therefore, teachers need to determine how students learn best and pattern their teaching to accommodate these differences. During elementary school, children learn to read and write, acquire a basic understanding of content areas, and develop dispositions toward

2nd Day- Students will pair up and develop a scavenger hunt list of the shapes
