Day Three Lesson Plan
Day Three Lesson Plan
Learning Target
When given a story problem that requires multiple steps to solve, students will identify
the operation(s) needed to correctly solve the problem and mark it with a highlighter.
All of the same materials from Lessons 1 & 2. 3 charts, titled Addition, Subtraction,
and Multiplication.
Sequenced instruction:
There are clues in story problems that will help you decide what operation, or more than
one operation you will need to solve the problem.
Reveal the first chart, Addition. Go through each word, one by one (the list of words is
on the next page).
We see twice which indicates multiplication. We also see how many which indicates
addition. (Highlight them)
Once the students have correctly identified the words to highlight, repeat with the 2nd
Guided Practice problem.
Hand out their individual worksheets and have them independently identify the key
words in their own problems.
