Unit Topic: Mathematics
Grade: 2nd
Grade
Lesson Theme: Addition
Lesson Objectives: Students will
demonstrate increased knowledge of addition with two activities that require
handouts. They will display the online knowledge by answering 7 out of 10
correct answers on the handout from the website. The student will show that
they have grasped the concept by completing They will then be able to see what
they got wrong and have a second chance to correct their response.
Instructional Technique: In class activity will be done in pairs or groups of
3. Online activity will be completed individually.
Instructional
Materials:
• http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/popup • Flash Cards
• Handouts
Theoretical Perspective:
It is important for the students to learn addition mathematics to progress through the stages of school. Math concepts of addition set a mathematical foundation to continue on with more compex in later grades.
Procedure: The students will start in the classroom with materials present and ready to use. When moved to computer lab the website will already be up on each computer to eliminate fooling around and time wasted. There are 5 levels and the teacher will set all of the games to level 5.

2. Students will receive their addition flash cards
3. Students will start activity and take turns
4. After students complete working on the flash cards the class will move to the computer room
5. Students will receive their handouts
6. Teacher will explain how to use the website as well as the handout together
7. Students will start the activity and record their answers
8. After the students complete the website activity they will turn to their handout and attempt to recorrect the answers they got wrong
9. Students will hand in worksheets
10. Teachers will later review and decide wether students met the set knowledge standards
There might be a few students in the classroom that have specific needs whether they be physically or metally. There will be a handicap seat where using the computer is accessable. For students who have trouble reading and/or processing there are 5 levels that can be chosen for this activity and those students that are documented they will be able to sit at a computer where the level is set to a lower level.
Evaluation:
A. How /when will you determine if you have
met your objectives?After both activities are completed and the teacher is able to review the handouts that is where they will be able to asses which students met the requirments set to show if they were able to display the knowledge on the specific topic. The handout that was created to go along with this activity has many details to help the teacher see what the student chose for an answer and to see what the student tried again to put the correct answer.
B. Concerns or questions you have about teaching this lesson?
Concerns about this lesson are that there are a few parts to the activity and there might be a lot of questions from more than one student. It will be hard to get to each computer in a timely fashion which might result in some students not being able to complete it in the time alotted. How is there a way to eliminate many questions so that the activity will go smoother and allow the teacher more time to walk around the room and observe the students while they are working.
