Single/Multi-Day Lesson:
Single-day lesson

I. DESCRIPTION OF CONTENT & CONTENT TYPE

Students will group combinations of numbers and will practice their proficiency with addition and
subtraction. (Concept)
II. LEARNING OUTCOME:
Students will apply word problems with addition and subtraction, while using Legos. (Objective)
III. CURRICULUM CONNECTION:
Prior to this lesson, students will practice place value and review digits of numbers.
IV. INSTRUCTION
A. ENGAGEMENT: Exploring with Legos
B. INSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE (Teaching Methodology with Student Activities):
C. Identifying the Legos
a. In pairs, students will identify and discuss each of Lego.
b. Tell us how many 1s can fit on the 2 block, 2s can fit on the 4 block Lego, and how many
4s can fit on the 8 block Lego.
Create Questions
a. In your journal, ask yourself what do I want to knowI want to know if I took 3 Legos
from the 6 block Lego, how many would I be left with?
b. In your journal, list what I knowI know that (3) 2 block Legos fit on top the 6 block
Lego.
*Note: Use CTRL + TAB for indents in outline format.

Application Activity
a. I will ask the class how many 1s,2s,4s and 8s can fit inside an area. How many 1s can fit
on top of the 4 block LegoIf I took 1 away how many 1s would be left?
b. Students will be given word problems and they will apply their Legos to the question to
form a solution.
Monitoring Student Learning
a. Students will get into groups to collaborate ideas to find answers to the word problems.
b. Each group will present how the found the solution and create a question for the class to
solve.
Math Journal
a. Students will log their solution to the word problems.
b. Students will log in their groups question and the groups solution to their question.
B. APPLICATION ACTIVITY (Practice and/or Reflection):
See step 3
C. MATERIALS & RESOURCES:
Legos
Journals
Pencils
V. ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES (Methods for Obtaining Evidence of Learning):
Formative: Students will be given questions and will solve them amongst a group. They will analyze the
problem, interpret the question with Legos, solve the question, and form their own questions.
Summative: Students will reflect on the classroom activity in their journals. They will answer the word
problems in complete sentences.
VI. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS (CONTENT, INSTRUCTION, and
PRACTICE):
Oral Language
Working in Groups and pairs
Hands on activities
Visuals
VII. HOMEWORK (IF APPROPRIATE):
None
