Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members, e.g., by pairing
objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends.

dialogue, sharing of ideas, asking relevant questions and affirming others

Lesson Objective: What do you want students to know and be able to do?
Students will practice their understanding of the word problem by breaking it down by what they know, what
they don’t know, and what they need to find out. Students should be able to use these steps to unpack
problems independently.

Learning Goals (TPE 4): What have you learned about students’ abilities that has informed the direction of your
lesson (based on assessments, learning experiences, IEPs)?
Majority of the class is having a hard time using strategies to solve word problems. Many 3rd graders are still
drawing and counting 1 by 1. This problem will help them continue to work on the skill of counting by groups.
Last week, we launched a problem where the numbers students could choose were a lot bigger so this lesson,
will include 3 number choices that are majority less than 10 (except for 3x4).

Prerequisite Skills: What do students need to know and be able to do in order to engage in the lesson?
Students need to understand the steps to unpacking a problem in order to know what they need to find out
taking into consideration what they do know. Also, students should be able to decide the numbers they feel
comfortable with. Students must remember the grouping strategies we have been reviewing the past few
weeks.

Pre-Assessment Strategies: How might you gain insight into students’ readiness for the lesson?
We have been unpacking different multiplication problems the past 2 weeks and they have shown a better
understanding of what the questions are asking from them. Working with smaller numbers may also benefit the
students who have been struggling with the bigger number options we used last week.

Backward Planning: What evidence will the students produce to show they have met the learning objective?
TPE 5: Assessing Student Learning

Students will be asked to pair share after each step of unpacking to check their understanding. Then, students
will share out loud what they think the step is asking for. At the end of unpacking, students will work to solve the
problem independently.

Checking for Understanding: How will you monitor student learning to make modifications during the lesson?
Students will be asked to pair share and then whole class share. I have already identified answers for each step
of the unpacking so if students are not giving me those answers, I will need to further explain if need before
moving on to the next step.

Self-Assessment & Reflection: How will you involve students in assessing their own learning?
By asking the students to pair share their thoughts after each step, students will be able to assess their
understanding and ask any questions that may be causing any confusion.

Accommodations and Modifications: How will you differentiate content, process, and/or product?
TPE 3: Understanding and Organizing
Subject Matter for Student Learning

The word problem will be given to the students in both English and Spanish. We will break down the problem
using the steps that will be posted on the wall for them to reference throughout the solving process.

Technology: How will technology be used to facilitate students’ equitable access to content?
I will project the problem and physically underline with them the information, so everyone is following along.

Academic Language: What content-specific vocabulary, skill-specific vocabulary, text structures, and stylistic
or grammatical features will be explicitly taught?

The only word students may need to be explicitly taught is packets— “Packets of gum”

Instructional Learning Strategies to Support Student Learning:


What will the teacher do to 1) engage/motivate students by connecting the lesson to experiential backgrounds,
interests and prior learning, 2) identify learning outcomes 3) present material, guide practice, and build independent
learning, 4) monitor student learning during instruction, and 5) build metacognitive understanding?

List what the teacher will be doing and what the students will be doing.

Opening move: Today we will be talking
about gum. When i was younger I use to
12:22pm chew gum to make sure my breath didnt
smell or just to taste something sweet, but 2
years ago i got braces and was not able to
chew gum. Now, I no longer want to chew
gum again. But when I would go to the store, I
was buying 1 pack of gum a week! How
many of you go to the store and your parents
buy gum or you buy gum? Today we will be
talking about gum and gum packets!

Post Debrief Reflection

This lesson had many strengths but there is also space for growth. Some strengths included beginning the launch
with a relevant story which hooked students and brought the problem to real life. Also, there were many
opportunities for students to share their ideas with their partner and this made the breaking of the word problem
easier to understand as students were discussing all parts of the problem throughout. Students had the opportunity to
ask questions or for any clarification before they started the problem. Lastly, by not including numbers in the
original problem, students were able to first understand the story line and then choose numbers they felt comfortable
using.

In the future I want to make sure I am very clear with any words I may need to define for students. In this lesson, I
could have explained the word “packets “of gum differently. Understanding that packets of gum meant that there is
more than 1 gum per box was essential in this word problem. I need to make sure I am being very clear with
students and perhaps by providing more examples, this concept would have been very clear. Another change would
be to provide more challenges for advanced students. I did notice that there were a few students who had finished
with 3 or more strategies while others in the class were still working on their first. In order to support the students
that need challenging work, I could have included an extra bonus question with a twist to the original problem or
perhaps a difficult number in additional to the number choices students already have.
