Mariam began the math lesson by reviewing the virtual classroom rules and the morning
calendar routines were the students had to identify the days of the week, months of the year,
attendance. Students were randomly called upon to answer the question.
She then reviewed yesterday’s lesson on adding using place value (37 + 8). Mariam called on a
student to help her solve the problem. Next she stated: Today we learn about adding two digit
numbers. She then showed the students an equation 35 + 29 and explained how to solve it. This
process was repeated 3 times with randomly called upon students to solve the equation.
Excellent job of randomly calling upon students to answer the questions posed to them
Question to consider: What strategies can be implemented to ensure that students learn the
exact process for adding two-digit numbers? Think about implicit teaching and using the
Gradual Release Model, using manipulatives or counting up strategy.
Next, she asked the students to solve a word problem: 30 + 31 = 61.
Question to consider: (1) What strategies can be implemented to ensure that students can
determine whether a word problem is an addition or subtraction problem. Think about using
the context clues (How many, In all).
Students were then instructed to use the link provided in MS Teams to play the two-digit
addition game. As students worked independently, Mariam monitored asking if students
needed help.
Question to consider: (1) How does it benefit students to remember to use their two-digit
addition steps when completing the problems? Think about reinforcing the ideas before they
engage in independent work, (2) What is the purpose of formative assessment? Did this game
allow you to formatively assess the students during the lesson?
After the game, students were randomly called upon to continue their practice of solving two-
digit addition problems using the steps with Mariam. This process was repeated twice.
Next, students were instructed to self-assess their learning by placing a thumbs up or down in
the chat box to determine lesson understanding. Mariam then instructed the students to
complete pages 183 and 184 for homework.
Action Plan:
Managing and Implementing Learning:
Ensure that students learn the exact process for adding two-digit numbers by using
implicit teaching, Gradual Release Model, manipulatives or counting up strategy.
Implement strategies (looking for context clues) that assist students to identify
whether a word problem is addition or subtraction
Reinforce two-digit addition steps prior to independent work
Assessment:
Ensure that you use formative assessment strategies that can be monitored
