COUNTING AND WRITING SIX & SEVEN LESSON PLAN Name: Matthew Glista Date: October 17, 2012 Grade Level/Subject: Kindergarten / Mathematics Prerequisite Knowledge: •Students should be able to at least identify all single-digit numbers. •Students should be able to at least count up to five and write each number 0- 5. Approximate Time: 25 minutes Student Objectives/Student Outcomes: •Students will understand that there is a unique and specific symbol to describe each number word. •Students will be able to recognize and write the numerals that describe the quantities 6 and 7. •Students will form the numbers 6 and 7 according to standard D’Nealian protocol. •Students will be able to identify some places where the numbers 6 and 7 can be found in nature. •Students will recall how to say numbers 0-7 in Spanish, as recently learned in their Spanish class. Common Core Content Standards: K.CC.3 - Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0 through 20. K.CC.4 - Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. K.CC.5 - Count to answer “how many?” questions with about as many as 10 things in scattered configuration. Materials/Resources/Technology: •Computer & projector to display Pearson activity and Numbers In Nature slides. •Whiteboard to demonstrate the proper D’Nealian formation of 6 and 7. •Posters demonstrating the D’Nealian strategy of writing 6 and 7. •Five-Frame mats and counters to help students visualize quantities of 6 and 7. •Pearson worksheet for Lesson 3-2 Implementation: Time 0:00-8:00 Opening of lesson: (Objectives, hook, behavior expectations) •Gather students on rug in their respective areas. •Introduce 6 and 7 via the D’Nealian posters. Ask for volunteers to name them (Eng & Span). •Show slides on 6 and 7 in nature via projector and elaborate on
