ENGAGEMENT:
As a review, the teacher will practice some problems out on the board. The students will be doing theirs on paper/whiteboards
while the teacher is up at the board. The teacher will do 2-3 addition and 2-3 subtraction problems. While completing them
the teacher will ask if there are any questions students may have about this topic.
Assessment: As they review, the teacher will ask questions and see what students are still confused about. This will allow the
teacher to see how well the students are doing on this topic.
EXPLORATION:
Students will try and come up with their own problem. It can be an addition or subtraction problem. It has to at least be two,
two-digit numbers. They can add more if they are comfortable, and the teacher can see that they are confident in answering
the question and then being able to explain it to their groupmates.
Assessment: The teacher will be checking to see if their math problems are solvable, and also making sure they have at least
two, two digit numbers.
EXPLANATION:
During this time, they will be working out their own problem that they have created. They are encouraged to do this alone but
if some are struggling, they can work together to help solve, or the teacher will be available to help.
Assessment: The teacher will go around and help students with their problems to make sure they are rational and can be
solved by their classmates.
ELABORATION:
Assessment: The teacher will make sure everyone is still participating and solving each other’s math problems. She will also
make sure they are trying to use their strategies and correctly working them out.
