LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE TITLE Chapter 14 CONTENT AREAS What areas of mathematics does this lesson cover Estimation GRADE LEVEL Fourth grade KEY CONCEPTS Front end rounding addition and subtraction ROOM ARRANGEMENT MATERIALS NEEDED EALRs and GLEs Make the connections clear and specific EALR 1 The student understands and applies the concepts and procedures of mathematics COMPONENT 1 1 Understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense GLE 1 1 8 Apply estimation strategies involving multiplication and division of whole numbers to predict or determine the reasonableness of answers in situations Learning Goals PROCEDURES Introduction Activating Prior Knowledge Good morning class At the beginning of this week we started to learn about estimation We talked about some of the reasons why it is important to be able to estimate and the ways that you use estimation in you life Who can remind me of some of the ideas that we came up with We also discussed the language we use when we talk about estimation Who remembers some of the words that we used if they don t know remind them lead them to about close just about a little more or a little less than between Just like in other types of math it is important to learn strategies We will be learning a number of different strategies but today we will be focusing on one type Disequilibration Preassessment I am writing an addition problem on the board and I want you to try to estimate the answer in 5 seconds Write problem on the board 2 568 3245 2376 1143 Ok was did any one come up with an answer If students did share Next we will be learning how I we were able to quickly find an estimation to this problem Activity Include formative assessments as appropriate Elaboration Today we will be learning about estimation using front end addition and subtraction Crystallization Have students practice together and then make up own strategies and teach them to each other Closure What is a strengths of this strategy quick What is a weakness of this strategy It may not be a close estimation if only the first number is looked at POST ASSESSMENT Evidence Task for Positive Impact on Student Learning The evidence could be a comparison between the students pre assessments and summative assessments You should make that comparison as the teacher but also need to begin to ask students to reflect on what and how they learned those metacognitive questions by teaching self evaluation tools and routines TEACHER REFLECTION What went well what would you do differently what advice would you give to someone who wanted to use this lesson ANNOTATED WEB RESOURCES
