6.2 Math Lesson

The objective of this lesson was for students to be able to make whole numbers and recognize number words with 80% accuracy. The standard is K.NS.2 Write whole numbers from zero to 20 and recognize number words from zero to 10. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral zero to 20 (with zero representing a count of no objects). Yes, I taught the lesson as it was written. I was able to do the lesson as a large group activity and the students were so excited being able to use

the manipulatives during the lesson. I did not anticipate much problem for this lesson. I thought the manipulatives might be a distraction for some but they ended up doing well with them. The ah ha moment for the lesson came when the students were able

to see the numbers represented with the manipulatives. The baseline knowledge that I used was the observations of the class and through my host teachers’ discussion on what standards the class would be using. I used the students work as assessment. If they misssed 2 it was 80%. I do not think I would change a thing about my lesson. It went fairly smooth over all and the kids really enjoyed it.
