Description of Learning Goals, Standards, Objectives
CC/GPSs: MGSE1.G.1 Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are
closed and three-sided) versus
non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and
draw shapes to possess defining
attributes.
MGSE1.G.2 Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares,
trapezoids, triangles, half-circles,
and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right
rectangular prisms, right circular cones,
and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose
new shapes from the composite
shape.6 This is important for the future development of spatial relations
which later connects to
developing understanding of area, volume, and fractions.
National Technology Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work
Standards: collaboratively, including at a distance to support individual learning and
contribute to the learning of others.

Long-Term Learning
Goal or Outcome: By the end of this unit of the curriculum my students are expected to
learn what a square number is, where it comes from and how to find
them.
ABCD Objectives or With your learners characteristics in mind, take the standards written
Outcomes: above and rewrite them using the Audience Behavior Condition Degree
method. Note: You will need to break down the GPSs into several
objectives.

Description of Assessment
Assessment Plan: To ensure that my students understand the material they will be able to
draw squares that help identify the square number for that particular
square.

Description of Activities with Technology and Materials

Activity Design:
Plan to create curricula that includes diverse and
multiple perspectives.
Class starter and lesson connection:
I plan to get my students attention through visual
cues throughout the lesson.
I will use part of the previous lesson on
multiplication to introduce square numbers by
display how square numbers can be found using
multiplication.

Teacher and student activities: I as the teacher will be visually displaying how
square numbers are found using a grid while my
students follow to find the rest of the numbers in
 the sequence using the same principles as I.

I will be utilizing the Explain everything

application to display square numbers.
The Explain everything app is an app that allows
teachers to create projects to teach their students
using recordings, clipart, outside resources etc.

Students will work independently to find the

Technology Connection: following three square numbers of this sequence.

The materials/strategies I would use to teach

students with exceptionalities are the block grid
systems that uses rubber bands to show the
square numbers value.

For this assignment I will be providing students

with access to the app/handout so that they can
show how they found the square numbers.

Reflection on Lesson Design

Future Actions : Answer the following questions:

In the future I would add more to the lesson. For

example, I would also teach triangular numbers,
pentagonal numbers and Fibonacci numbers as
well.
