Basic Productivity Tools (BPT)
Lesson Idea Name: How many?

Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Level(s): Kindergarten
Content Standard Addressed:
MGSEK.CC.5 Count to answer “how many?” questions.
a. Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a variety of ways (a line, a
rectangular array, or a circle), or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration
Technology Standard Addressed:

Creativity and Innovation
b. Create original works as a means of personal or group expression
Creative Communicator
d. Students publish or present content that customizes the message and medium for their intended audiences
Selected Technology Tool:

E-Book; PowerPoint
Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Level(s):

☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding ☒ Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☒ Creating
Levels of Technology Integration:

☒ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or Choice”
during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.
☐ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-
driven. Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

This lesson serves students who are visual and auditory learners. The students will use images and the digit
and the written form of the number. The students will also hear the word number said aloud, providing a four
representation of the values. The visual and auditorial aspects of the product additionally serve ELL students.
Lesson idea implementation:

The activities of this lesson will take place after the topic has been addressed and taught in a previous
lesson. The teacher will guide the students through the process of making their e-book and the students will
create their own e-book step by step with the teacher. The teacher will have the students open PowerPoint
and create a new file. The teacher will then instruct and show on the projector how to add a slide. The
teacher will demonstrate how to create each slide for the rest of the PowerPoint. The title will be “How
Many?” and the slides will depict a question and answer format. The students will insert images of object,
count the objects, and then provide the answer to how many objects of the previous slides. The students will
independently demonstrate that they can count to answer the question “how many?” when they are
designing their own e-book. This lesson is expected to be completed in two 30 minute sessions, if needed.
Teacher guidance is needed and this may be the first time students have used PowerPoint, so the activity may
need part of or all of the second session to finalize their products. The additional session will be where the

teacher gives feedback to students before they finalize their product. The feedback will be continuous as the
teacher monitors the students.
Once the student products are completed, the e-book will be presented by the teacher to the class. The
whole class will participate in reading the e-book. The teacher will show the products over multiple days as
daily counting practice. This will act as the assessment of the lesson. By having the students share their
product, they are address the technology standards that address becoming a creative communicator.
Reflective Practice:
I believe this lesson serves as an introduction to PowerPoint to allow students to become familiar with the
program for future lesson. The use of this tool increases students’ engagement and requires students to
directly interact with the content. This lesson not only addressed mathematics skills but provided the
students with literacy practice. The students could additionally print their e-book to have a tangible product
that can be accessed without use of a computer. To further enhance this project, the e-book could have been
made interactive and may have included links that led to additional material.
