(b) Knowledge and skills.
(2) Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to understand how to
represent and compare whole numbers, the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers, and
relationships within the numeration system. The student is expected to:
Learning Objective(s):
Students will be able to identify on their own one or more than one way to decompose numbers 6
through 10 and record the decompositions of numbers 6 through 10 into drawings and equations.
Students will complete the Decomposing Numbers 6 through 10 Assessment with a minimum of
80% accuracy.
Materials Technology
Language Demands
Specific ways that academic language (vocabulary, functions, discourse, syntax) is used by students to
participate in learning tasks through reading, writing, listening, and/or speaking to demonstrate their
understanding.
Language Function(s):
Explain: Students will be able to verbally explain how and why a number between 6 and 10 is
decomposed.
Vocabulary:
Decompose
Whole-part-part
Break apart
Discourse: Students will identify and explain one way or multiple ways to decompose numbers
between 6 and 10.
Relevant vocabulary words will be shown and available for reference on the Math Word Wall at the
front of the room
Examples of decomposing will be projected on the SmartBoard for review and reference

I ask the other students to give a thumb

think the number sentence is correct.
I have the student return to the carpet

Differentiated Instruction
Consider how to accommodate for the needs of each type of student. Be sure that you provide content-
specific accommodations that help meet a variety of learning needs.
Gifted and Talented: I will have a separate worksheet for those students who have already mastered
writing number sentences. This worksheet has them instead create just a number equation without the
use of any words just symbols.
EL: The use of manipulatives already is helpful and will allow these students to be more engaged and be
able to make better connections. I will provide a list to these students in their native language of the
vocabulary terms and definitions shown on our Math word wall.
Students with Other Special Needs: The students will be strategically paired together. These students
will be paired with a partner who can provide support to them. More time will be given to these
students to answer questions or come to conclusions.
Assessment
Formative
Students will show mastery by being able to identify on their own one or more than one way to
decompose numbers 6 through 10, record the decompositions of numbers 6 through 10 into drawings
and equations, and verbally explain how to decompose a number between 6 and 10.
1. Observe and listen to each group of students while walking around the room in order to check
for understanding and mastery.
2. Students will complete an exit ticket at the end of the day's lesson.
Summative
Students will be able to identify on their own one or more than one way to decompose numbers 6
through 10 and record the decompositions of numbers 6 through 10 into drawings and equations.
Students will complete the Decomposing Numbers 6 through 10 Assessment with a minimum of
80% accuracy.
