Mini-Research eBook Lesson Plan 2
Teaching Strategy Activity
Title of Mini-Research eBook Lesson: "Math Candyland"
Primary Learning Outcome (PLO):
The primary learning outcomes to be achieved with this lesson include:
PLO: Students
will add and subtract whole numbers less than 100 without regrouping.
Materials and Equipment:
1. Have an example of Mini-Research eBook activity to show students
2. Paper for drawing
3. Crayons and/or color markers
4. Pencil & paper (to make notes for lesson plan assessment and
reflections)
5. Modification of a lesson developed by Dr. Diane L. Judd
Technology Connection:
Technologies that will be used in this lesson include:
Procedures:
Step One:
Introduction
Have a small group of students go to a computer. Explain to
students that you are going to use the computer to read an
Mini-Research eBook
about adding and subtracting
whole numbers.
List 2 or more
questions that introduce students
to your Mini-Research eBook that will establish a
connection to students' prior knowledge by asking them:
1. "Can
anyone give me an example of an addition problem?"
2. "Can anyone give me an example of a
subtraction problem?"
Today we are going
to read an eBook
on the Internet. I have made a special Mini-Research eBook on the
Internet for your
class. (During discussion have students turn around away from the
computer to interact.)
Estimated Time for Step One:
5 minutes
Step Two
Teaching the Primary Learning Outcomes:
(Students will sit at the computer where they can control the mouse
and computer.) (Explain to students the process of the
lesson.) After we read the Mini-Research eBook and visit
several websites.
Check for understanding
Students with teacher assistance will read the Mini-Research eBook,
explore, and
discuss
the information in the four linking websites that go with the
Mini-Research eBook. Ask
students guiding
questions about the important concepts in the Mini-Research eBook and
the linking
websites. List four or more questions from each of your
linking websites that will guide your students to gain information for
your PLO.
1. "Can anyone tell me the
answer to this problem?"
2. "Can anyone tell
me the steps you need to take to solve this problem?"
3. "Is this an addition or
subtraction problem?"
4. "Can anyone give me a good
example of another subtraction problem we can use?"
Practice and feedback related to the
PLO
Read the Mini-Research eBook project to students. Explain to
students that
they
are going to be adding and subtracting whole
numbers without regrouping. They will be using markers and
construction paper to write out and answer the problem provided. Tell
the
students that the information that they will need to complete
their Mini-Research eBook project is listed and connected in
the Mini-Research eBook
activity. Review the
information in the linked website in
the Mini-Research eBook activity with the students to emphasize
interesting and important information students will need to complete
mission
project.

Mini-Research
eBook Teaching Strategy Activity
Math Candyland Game:
Students will be
playing a math game similar to the board game Candyland. The
students
will take turns rolling the dice. Each student will advance as
many
times as the dice says. They will draw a card that corresponds
with
the color they stopped on. The card will have a math
problem. The
student will answer the math problem. If they answer the problem
correctly then they advance as many spaces as the card says. If
the
answer the problem incorrectly, then they move backwards that many
spaces.
Lesson 2 Directions: When the students have finished playing the math game, they will make some more math cards. This time they will be using the computer. Each person will create some math problems using Microsoft Word. They will copy and paste the problems to the front of the cards and the answers to the back. |
Step Three
Closure:
Have students discuss their Mini-Research eBook activity and
information they found on the Internet.
Tell students that your Mini-Research eBook Website is on the Internet
and
they can
visit the website at school or home. Explain to students
that you are going to put their pictures and information
on the Internet and they will be able to share their mission
projects with
their friends and family. (If possible teacher should take
brief
notes during the lesson and concluding discussions to be added
later
to the assessment and reflections in lesson plan.)
Estimated Time for Step Three:

Comments & Reflections:
Assessment for the
Primary Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
Student will be assessed through
observation and oral discussion to
evaluate if student with teacher guidance is able to add and subtract the numbers correctly.
| Level 3 | Level 2 | Level 1 | |
|
PLO:
Students will add and subtract numbers less than 100 without regrouping. |
Student was able to answer most of the addition and subtraction problems correctly. | Student was able to answer a few of the addition and subtraction problems correctly. | Student was not able to answer any of the addition and subtraction problems correctly. |

Descriptions
of Students' Evidence that Illustrate the Achieved Performance Level of
the PLO (* To receive full credit description must include minimum of two sentences and a detailed example of the students' evidence.) |
| 1 |
3 |
This student did very well when
completing this assignment. He knew how to use the computer, and
with little help, was able to complete it. He wrote down and
solved the problems correctly. |
| 2 | 3 |
This student had no problems
with completing this assignment. She knew exactly how to use the
computer and all I could do was watch in amazement. She had been
on microsoft word before and knew exactly how to do everything.
It was exciting watching her use the computer. |
3. One thing I could have done a little better is modeling the assignment. I did not do a very good job of showing the kids exactly what I wanted them to do. If I would have showed them exactly how to write and solve the math problems, then maybe they would not have had any problems doing the assignment. This is just one of the ways I could change things in the future to make this lesson better.
