Section 1: Lesson Preparation
Teacher Candidate
Name:
Susan Kennedy
Grade Level: 9- 12 builds on K8
Date: 1-20-2020
Unit/Subject: Engineering
Instructional Plan Title: Science and Engineering Practices
Lesson Summary and
Focus: Use objects or drawings to help solve problems or word problems.
Students can choose how they wish to solve the problems either by
drawing items or using objects to count.
Classroom and Student
Factors/Grouping:
Students will be grouped together in pairs, special learner with higher
learner, behavior students will be placed in an area where if they need to
get in the floor they will not disturb others. The assistant will have our
lower learners to help assist them in solving the problems and encourage
them to figure the problems out.
National/State Learning
Standards:
M.K.4
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to
cardinality.
1. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing
each object with one and only one number name and each number name with
one and only one object.
M.K.8
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings,
sounds (e.g., claps), and acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or
equations.
M.K.9
Solve addition and subtraction word problems and add and subtract within 10 by using
objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Specific Learning
Target(s)/Objectives:
Objective: make estimations of the problem and then work problems out to
see if the estimate was correct.
Given a problem student will first guess the answers before working out
the problem.
Academic Language Estimation- take a guess on what a answer is without working out the
problem.
Resources, Materials,
Equipment, and
Technology:
 Physics Books
 Thermodynamics Books
 White Board
 Smart Screen
 Organizer
 Connections cubes
 Two-color counters
 Tools-counters
Section 2: Instructional Planning
Anticipatory Set
 Ask questions regarding formulating, refining and evaluating empirically testable
questions and design problems using models and simulations.
 Analyze complex real-world problems by specifying criteria and constraints for
successful solutions.
 Ask students to recall how when we add to numbers together to solve a problem.
 Tell them that today we will be subtracting numbers from one another.
 Tell the students that they first must look at the problem and try to guess/estimate the
correct answer.
 Tell students after they estimate the answer then either draw or use their counters to
check themselves.
