LESSON PLAN
Lesson Introduction:
Students will copy the numbers on the chart and cut the hexagons up before the lesson begins.
Teacher will have a T-Chart labeled less than 50 and greater than 50 on a chart or whiteboard.
The teacher will have the predetermined numbers on top of the T-Chart.
The teacher will tend to vocabulary words such as: place value, greater and less than.
Materials Needed:
Teacher: Chart paper, markers, whiteboard, whiteboard markers
Students: White plain copy paper, pencils, glue markers, crayons, T-Charts printed on one side of their plain paper, and scissors.
Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to sort the numbers into less and greater than 50.
Objective 2: Students will use the sort to help them put the numbers in order from least to greatest.
Structure / Activities
Teacher will model how to compare two numbers on the chart by comparing numbers and looking at place value. The numbers that were chosen for this activity were 15, 27, 45, 67, 87, 341, 721.
Once the teacher models a couple of numbers, students will then have to work with a partner to discuss where to put the rest of the numbers on the T-Chart. Teacher will walk around the room and look for corrections.
Teacher will then chart the hexagons into the appropriate place on the t chart. Students will then be asked to put the numbers in order from least to greatest on the other side of the paper.
They can use the teacher's T-Chart as a tool. They can either stagger the hexagons or put them in a rainbow shape. Teacher will check the numbers BEFORE they are glued. Students can use their imagination to make a picture.
Assessment / Closure
The assessment will be if the students glued the numbers in the right order and they will have turned the hexagons into a picture. I had them either stagger the numbers to make a caterpillar, or they turned it into teeth. This is very UDL because you can have them turn into their own art picture.
Examples and Additional Resources
Bonus math standard: Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
