PEPE Lesson Plan

(Alabama Professional Education Personnel Evaluation Program)

I.  Preparing (to plan for instruction)

     Materials: 

Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics, page 17, numbers 9, 12, and 16,

children’s literature: A Fair Bear Share,

straws (bundles of ten and individual straws),

containers (marked tens and ones),

chalkboards, chalk, erasers,

posterboard,

overhead projector, transparency (with definitions and examples),

and worksheets

     Objectives:

The students will:

(Knowledge) recall the place value system and double-digit addition

(Synthesis) create and manipulate double-digit regrouping

(Analysis) devise and identify ways to use regrouping

     Grade level: First

II.  Orienting  (to establish purpose, build background, sustain motivation, and provide direction)

Anticipatory Set: The teacher will read the book A Fair Bear Share.  The teacher will express to the students that they will be learning a new way to add.  The teacher will say, “This new way can make addition easier, faster, and fun.”

Purpose:  The teacher will say, “The purpose of this lesson is to give all of you another way to add.  After today’s lesson, you will find it easier to add your snack money, purchases you make at Wal-Mart, or the scores at games.”

Connection to previous learning/Build background knowledge:  The teacher will say, “The class has done a great job with the place value system and adding double-digits.  Today, we will learn a new way to add called regrouping.”

III.  Presenting (to use sequential direct instruction)

     Teaching Procedures:

The teacher will define “regrouping.”  The teacher will say, “You may want to know what regrouping is and how we can use regrouping.  Regrouping is putting ones into groups of ten.”

The teacher will display a transparency with the definition of regrouping and nonregrouping.  The transparency will also have examples of each.

The teacher will say, “We use regrouping on a daily basis. We may use regrouping when we count our coins to buy a snack or to pay when we attend the snake show.”

The teacher will say, “We have already worked with the place value system and double-digit addition.  We will refresh our memory on the place value system before we start regrouping.”  The teacher will then go over the place value system.

The teacher will say, “We are now going to look at some ways to regroup with our straws.”

The teacher will write an algorithm on the chalkboard and write how many are in the tens and ones place.

The teacher will use a velcro poster to create and model the algorithm from the chalkboard by using straws.

The teacher will remind the students how they previously added the algorithm and reinforce the place value system.

The teacher will relate the content to other subjects by giving examples of how to use regrouping. The teacher will say, “When you write your spelling words twenty times, you can use regrouping to count them.”

IV.  Practicing and Summarizing (to reinforce and extend ideas)

     Review:

(Application)  The teacher will call on volunteers to use “regroup” in a sentence and to give an example of how regrouping would be useful.

(Analysis)  The teacher will call on volunteers to tell the difference between regrouping and nonregrouping.

(Comprehension)  The teacher will call on volunteers to tell in their own words what regrouping is.  In addition, the teacher will ask students to come to the velcro poster to show how regrouping works.

     Guided Practice:

The teacher will ask everyone to pair into groups of two and get out their straws.  The teacher will use the velcro poster so that everyone can see.

The teacher will construct an algorithm and ask the students to discuss how they would regroup to solve the algorithm.

The teacher will monitor the students’ understanding of regrouping.

The teacher will model and guide the students through algorithms on their chalkboards and the students will use their straws to participate.

     Independent Practice:

The teacher will distribute double-digit algorithm worksheets.

The teacher will instruct the students to add and regroup the algorithms.

The students will use the straws to regroup.  Each student must complete at least five algorithms.

     Summarizing:

The teacher will say, “Today we learned what regrouping is and how it is easier to add.  Regrouping is also fun to do. I want everyone to go home and find at least two ways regrouping could be used at home.”

Assessment: (to check for attainment of objectives)

The teacher will use a checklist to assess the guided practice activities.  The checklist will have the objectives listed as column headings.  Checks and minuses will be used to determine attainment.  For enrichment, those students will be instructed to regroup three numerals.  In addition, they will add larger numerals.  For remediation, those students will be instructed using additional concrete materials (such as coins and popsicle sticks).  Also, they will be given remediation on nonregrouping addition and the place value system.
