I.  Preparing     (to plan for instruction)

 

Materials:

 

Alabama Course of Study:  Mathematics, page 22, number 6; poem:  “Apples,” by: Avelyn Davidson; cups and straws; number strips; Hill Method manipulatives (people, hills, and dry erase markers); and enrichment game.

 

Objectives:  The students will:

 

          (Knowledge) identify two-digit numbers.

 

          (Application) solve two-digit subtraction problems.

 

Grade Level:  second

 

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

 

Anticipatory Set:  The teacher will read the poem “Apples” (below).  The teacher will explain to the students that two-digit subtraction will allow us to subtract when the numbers go higher than 10.

 

Purpose:  The teacher will say, “The purpose of this lesson is to subtract two-digit numbers.  There are many things that come in groups larger than ten, such as:  eggs, donuts, and cokes.  Today we will learn to subtract using the larger numbers.”

 

Connection to previous learning/Build background knowledge:  The teacher will say, “We have used number strips to subtract with numbers less than 10.  Today we will use the same process to subtract with numbers larger than 10.”

 

III.  Presenting     (to use sequential direct instruction)

 

          Teaching Procedures: 

 

·        The teacher will define “two-digit.”  The teacher will say, “Two-digit numbers are two numerals printed together to form one number.”  Example:  all numbers 10-99.

 

·        The teacher will say, “A pack of donuts comes with 12 donuts.  12 is a two-digit number.

 

·        The teacher will model the Hill Method using magnetic pieces on the board.

 

          Hill Method

1.     The teacher will write the problem 14 – 8 on the board.

2.     The teacher will place the number 10 on the top of the hill, the number 8 on the left side, and the number 14 on the right side.

3.     The teacher will ask the students to count aloud with her how many numbers are between 8 and 10, and then how many numbers are between 10 and 14.

4.     The teacher will then add these numbers together to get the answer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·        After demonstrating the Hill Method, the teacher will work the problem using cups and straws to show the regrouping process.  The teacher will also work this problem on the board to show the symbolic process.

 

·        The teacher will relate the content to life experiences by giving an example of how two-digit subtraction can be used every day.  The teacher will say, “If you go to the store with 25˘ and want to buy a piece of gum for 20˘, using two-digit subtraction you will know how much change you are supposed to receive.

 

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

 

Review: 

 

(Knowledge)  The teacher will ask, “Which of the following is a two-digit number?”

                   101, 12, 9

 

(Analysis)  The teacher will ask, “Why isn’t 9 a two-digit number?”

 

(Application)  The teacher will ask the students to give examples of things that come in an amount that is a two-digit number.

 

Guided Practice:

 

·        The teacher will pass out the Hill Method manipulatives.

 

·        The teacher will work a problem on the bard while students work the same problem at

their desks.

 

·        The teacher will ask volunteers to suggest problems to solve.

 

Independent Practice:

 

·        The teacher will ask everyone to take his or her Hill Method manipulatives and form groups with two students in each group.

 

·        The teacher will instruct the students to take turns writing the symbolic form of the

problem for their partner to solve.  They must solve four problems each.

 

Summarizing: 

 

The teacher will say, “Today we learned what a two-digit number is and how to use them

in subtraction problems.  Subtraction with two-digit numbers will be a common practice

throughout life.”

 

V.  Assessment     (to check for attained objectives)

 

The teacher will use a checklist to assess the independent practice, with a column labeled “Symbolic” and another column labeled “Manipulatives” in which the child will get a check for each concept mastered.  For enrichment, students will be instructed to find a partner to play the two-digit subtraction enrichment game.  For remediation, students will review facts of one-digit subtraction or go back to cups and straws for problems with regrouping.

 

ENRICHMENT

Play with a friend.  Toss a marker onto the gameboard.  Write the number in one of your friend’s problems below.  Your friend works the problem.  Then your friend takes a turn and writes a number in one of your problems for you to work.  Continue until all of the problems are solved.

Apples

I found a lovely apple tree,

Lots of apples are for me.

I shook the tree as hard as I could,

Down came some apples, mmm they’re good.

How many apples were on that tree?

How many apples fell on me?

Seventeen apples, minus four,

I think I’ll shake it just once more.

Thirteen apples on the tree,

This time eight apples fell on me.

How many apples left upon the tree?

Count the apples and you’ll see.

The first time that I shook the tree,

Four rosy apples fell on me.

The second time I shook off eight,

So, that makes twelve minus one I ate.
