IWU Supervisor: Dr. Angie Leffler Co-op Teacher: Mr. Ethan Evans
Teaching Date: 2/26/19 Grade Level: 2nd
Lesson Rationale: Through this lesson students will begin to conceptualize the idea of smaller
and greater numbers, as well as number patterns, through work organizing and putting numbers
in order from least to greatest. This will benefit students as they must master this content in order
to understand more complex math content. They will also use this skill in the real world.
Readiness
I. Goals/Objectives/Standard(s)
A. Goal:
1. Students will understand the connection between greater than and less than
and sequencing numbers.
B. Objective:
1. At the conclusion of the lesson, students will demonstrate their
understanding of how to order numbers from least to greatest and greatest
to least by participating in group discussion and completing the story
problems.
C. Standards:
1. 2.NS.2: Read and write whole numbers up to 1,000. Use words, models,
standard form and expanded form to represent and show equivalent forms
of whole numbers up to 1,000.
II. Management Plan
A. Materials
1. Hundreds, tens, and ones dice
2. 5 sets of Base 10 blocks
3. 6 copies (laminated) of the attached “Which Number is greater?” game
4. 6 dry erase markers/erasers (paper towel will work)
5. Document camera
6. 17 copies of the story problems
7. Phone timer
8. iPads (for after the game)
B. Time
1. 50 minutes (time is specified throughout)
C. Space
1. Part of the lesson will take place on the carpet, the other part will take
place at student desks.
D. Procedures
1. I will remind Jamey and Riley of their behavior charts throughout the
lesson if they misbehave.
2. I will also verbally reinforce good behavior and speak to students who are
off task or being disruptive to keep them focused on the lesson and
working together.
3. I will use 1-2-3 instructions to transition students from the carpet to their
seats.
4. I will use my phone timer to keep track of time.
III. Anticipatory Set (3 minutes): Okay, I need one volunteer. Okay, can you put these shapes
in order? I will use geometry shape blocks that Mr Evans has or rent some from the
Library. I will ask the student to put the shapes in order from smallest to biggest. I will
use the document camera to show the students the shapes since they are hard to see.
Students will be seated on the carpet.
IV. Purpose: Just like (student name) organized these shapes into an order, today we are
going to order numbers based on their size from least to greatest.
Summative Assessment: Mr. Evans will have a summative assessment that includes this lesson
as a part of his normal assessments.
GAME:
Students roll 3 dice—one represents the ones place, on represents the 10’s place, and on
represents the hundreds place. Students take turns rolling to create a 3-digit number. Whoever
has the biggest number gets a point. The students will write their numbers in the boxes below
(they will be laminated so they can write and erase). The first person to get 6 points wins. This
allows the students to explore and conceptualize the ideas—also students’ ability to win isn’t
based on their ability to come up with an answer quickly, but rather explore the numbers.
