Students: Circle graphic organizer paper (one per student), double-sided counter chips, and a pen/pencil. This will provide an opportunity for the lower level student to learn from a peer and the higher-level student will become a “teacher” which will expand their thinking. For example If a student is working on the number 3 and it is too easy for them I will say “Why don’t you try using the number 8 or 9?” If a lower level student is struggling I will ask a higher-level student to work with this student. If I see students who are not using numbers that are challenging them enough, I will instruct them to choose different numbers that will expand their thinking.

Future lessons will help students further expand their knowledge of addition, using numbers 1-10.Ĭontent Objectives (Established Goals) (Label objectives C1, C2, C3…)Ĭ1: Students will decompose numbers on their own, by practicing in their pairs.Ĭ2: Students will effectively work in partners and groups, by participating in activities.Ĭ3: Students will write down the number they are decomposing and represent the different numbers it can be decomposed into.Ĭ4: Students will be able to verbally describe how a specific number is decomposed. All these skills will be further explored in this lesson. They can verbally pronounce, recognize, and write the numbers 1-20. Students can verbally count forward and backward to the number 20, with or without objects. The students have started learning pre-place value concepts. In the previous days, the students will be learning and practicing the skill of composing numbers 1-10. A foundation for Pre-Place Value concepts is essential and can be taught as early as Kindergarten. This can be achieved when learning the concept of decomposing numbers. Research also supports looking for generalizations as early as kindergarten. All the students are working on the same content, but at different levels. Some students may be working on decomposing the number 8, while others are working on the number 3. In the text, it discusses how tiered lessons is a good way to teach decomposing numbers. The research used for this lesson is found in the class text Elementary and Middle School Mathematics Teaching Developmentally. (I) compose and decompose numbers up to 10 with objects and pictures.Ĭontent Information (resources and research used to support lesson plan) 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. It will expand their knowledge of number sense. It will also start building a foundation for addition skills. This lesson is used to help build on student’s pre-place value concepts and compatible numbers.

The source of information for this lesson is from the class text: Elementary and Middle School Mathematics Teaching Developmentally. This lesson was created using a Research based curriculum. This lesson is based on the Kindergarten State’s Standards for Numbers and Operations 2.
