Examples of Lessons

Lessons

• How long is it? - A 2^nd grade mathematics lesson plan on measuring and comparing lengths. Students used nonstandard units (beads, paperclips, pieces of string) to measure several drawings of snakes.
• Menu of Problems – A set of three meaningful mathematics tasks (appetizer, main course and dessert) designed for 5^th/6^th grade students.
• Lattice Multiplication – A 4^th grade mathematics lesson to teach the strategy of lattice multiplication.
• Diamante Poetry – A 4^th/5^th grade writing lesson in which the students read and create diamante poems.

Bulletin Boards

• Nocturnal Animals – This is an image of a bulletin board I designed for 1^st grade students. The students had the opportunity use the nocturnal animal puppets on the bulletin board to recite learned facts about nocturnal animals.
• Decimal Review – This is an image of a bulletin board I designed for 4^th grade students. The bulletin board is very interactive and has three separate activities for students to complete.

Assessment

I believe in assessment FOR learning as well as assessment OF learning. Therefore, in my assessments I emphasize student involvement and teacher feedback. I have included learning targets in my assessments because I think it is important for the students to know exactly what they will learn and what is expected of them. Below are three different types of assessments I have designed for a 2^nd grade unit on shapes.

• A selected response assessment on shapes
• An extended written response assessment on shapes
• A performance task assessment on shapes
