GAMES
Games can be used as a reward, as an introduction to a concept, or for independent practice.
TEACHING TIPS
A helpful teaching tip for introducing students to comparing numbers is to give them opportunities to use the symbols of greater than, less than, and equal to in various contextual problems. Encouraging students to use visual models such as number lines can help reinforce their understanding of each symbol. For example, ask students to place the given number on a number line and then identify whether it is greater or less than another given number.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
Some students may believe that the greater than and less than symbols mean the same thing or even that the equal to symbol is a combination of both. To help prevent this misconception, clearly explain each symbol and provide concrete examples of how they are used in the comparison. Additionally, please encourage students to use a number line when comparing numbers, as this will give them an intuitive understanding of each symbol's meaning.
LESSON PLAN
GUIDED PRACTICE
Start the lesson by introducing the new concept to be learned and explaining how to complete the problem, demonstrating how to do it step-by-step. The students will work on a problem together, with the teacher circulating to provide learning support as needed. Once students have finished, the teacher will review the solutions and explain any misconceptions.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
Students are expected to work independently on most tasks. However, there are some activities where pair or group work may be more appropriate. These should be used sparingly and with a clear purpose.
HOMEWORK
Homework is not practiced in all schools. In this curriculum, homework is used for additional practice from daily lessons. Assignment of homework should be done on a case-by-case basis and working in conjunction with the student's home support team.
EXIT TICKET
After the practice and misconception review, instruct the students to complete the Exit Ticket. This is a formative assessment to inform teaching for future lessons.
FORMATIVE
Progress Check is after an exit ticket and an additional misconception review. This is a formative assessment to inform teaching for future lesson cycles.
SUMMATIVE
Summative assessment evaluates student learning at the end of a large lesson or unit. Summative assessments are the end progress monitoring point in data collection.
REVIEW
Closing the lesson is an important part of the instructional process. It allows students to summarize what they have learned and gives them a chance to ask any final questions. The closure should also provide a smooth transition to the next lesson.
