Lesson Plan Guide
Teacher Candidate: Emma Kate Thompson Date: February 3, 2019
Grade and Topic: 1st Grade Mathematics Length of Lesson: 40 minutes 2 days
Mentor Teacher: Annette Cornelius School: IDT 3600
UNIT/CHAPTER OBJECTIVE/GENERALIZATION/BIG IDEA:
● This lesson plan is a part of a unit plan on numbers and operations in base ten. Within this particular
unit, students will read, write, and represent a given number of objects numerically and extend the
counting sequence to 120. They will demonstrate the ability to count from any number up to 120 and
count backward from 20. Students will also become aware that any two-digit number can be composed
and decomposed in a variety of ways.
LESSON OBJECTIVE:
● Given a certain timeframe or starting point, the student should be able to orally count up to 120 with at
least 90% accuracy.
● Given 15 equations, the student should be able to answer addition and subtraction problems within 20
with 85% accuracy.
● Given 10 equations, the student should be able to add single-digit and double-digit numbers together
with 90% accuracy.
STANDARDS ADDRESSED:
● 1.OA.C.5 Add and subtract within 20 using strategies such as counting on, counting back, making 10,
using fact families and related known facts, and composing/ decomposing numbers with an emphasis on making
ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13-3-1= 10-1=9oradding6+7bycreatingtheknownequivalent6+4+3= 10 + 3 = 13).
● 1.OA.C.6 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. BY the end of 1st grade, know from
memory all sums up to 10.
MATERIALS:
● White Board
● Dry Erase Marker
● Computer
● Internet Access To:

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
The students will use the website above to practice their addition and subtraction skills. The website provides
various equations for them to perfect their skills with numbers up to 20.
BACKGROUND and RATIONALE:
● After completion of this lesson, the students should be able to efficiently add and subtract problems with
numbers up to 20.
● They teacher must define and explain the difference between addition and subtraction so that the
students can better differentiate between the two.
● The previous lessons touch on representing objects with numbers as well as being able to count up until
120.
● In order to build on this lesson, more difficult adding and subtracting problems would be the next step.
● For those who need extra guidance, I would make sure to offer more one-on-one help while other
students utilize the online website to master their adding and subtracting.
PROCEDURES AND TIMELINE:
● Introduction: In order to get the students eager and focused for this lesson, I would tell them about the
online activities they will get to try if they show their listening while explaining the basics of addition
and subtraction.
● Procedures:
Procedure #1 (10 minutes): Begin the class with a small lecture; go over the differences
between addition and subtraction
Procedure #2 (10 minutes):
o provide students with an opportunity of class engagement by displaying problems on
the board and giving them a chance to raise their hand to answer.
o the students can learn from others and get more comfortable with the learning
concepts before pursuing them on their own
Procedure #3 (20 minutes):
o provide certain students with simple worksheets and others with access to a computer
so they can practice the problems online
o let 10 minutes go by and let the students switch
o If certain students need individual assistance, then I would go around the classroom
and help those who don’t understand completely
.
● Closure: I would inquire about any confusion from the students about the lesson taught and/or the
problems they worked on. If there was any more confusion, I would address the class as a whole and
provide as many more example problems as need and as time permits
ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE:
● The lesson attainability will result in an end of the week quiz where the students will have a chance to answer a
couple problems on their own. This will give me an understanding of how well the students attained the
information and if there needs to be further explanation and teaching.
MODIFICATIONS:
● Those who do not master the objectives will just need more one-on-one time to master the objectives.
They will still participate in the weekly quiz just to see what exactly they need more work on.
● Those who mastered the objectives will move on to more difficult problems with addition and
subtraction. They can browse the online website for more complex problems.
