Evaluating Lesson Plans I chose a math lesson plan based on standards for 2nd grade. The lesson is planned to teach students to learn how to add and subtract. In Second Grade, it is crucial to learn addition and subtraction up to 100. This lesson's primary focus is the math principle of learning how to add and subtract numbers up to 100 with 80% accuracy. Adding and subtracting are necessary both in the classroom and in real-life. This plan is a common core state learning standard in 2.OA.A Show and resolve problems with adding and subtracting. The students will use adding and subtracting within 100 to solve one and two-step problems. This involves word problems with adding, taking away, putting together, separating, and comparing. Students will also use drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. I compared my lesson to https://betterlesson.com/lesson/495963/walking-the-numberline?from=search. From examining the lesson plan, it is very understandable and detailed. The study starts off with writing in their journal the numbers 18 to 30. This suggests Language arts writing skills as a cross-curricular connection. The teacher will write a number on the smartboard and asks the student to countback. This lesson's objective is to count forward and backward on a number line between 0 and 30. Children need to learn how to count up and back to meet the

Common Core standards. The teacher will circle around the classroom to assess how the students are doing as a formative assessment. As I compared the lesson plan to the College Of Education template and noticed the state standards were existing, the lesson summary and the focus are shown. The lesson plan summary has the number line as a powerful math tool for students to shape their thinking when solving addition and subtraction problems. There was no section of the better lesson plan for classroom and student factors; there were no class profile specifics. This lesson is compared to the lesson plan I completed in week 6 of this course, so I understand the study planned by Better Lessons and how it will be taught. The Better lesson plan supports the given standard and other standards that correspond with the projected second grade level. Students will use sentence strips marked out into equal parts, far enough apart for students to stand on each number. Students will work in groups to arrange themselves on the number line with some on one end, some without talking. They are to show each other the number and move along the line until they are in order. There was no specific Academic Language used; however, technology was used when using the smartboard to display a 3d model. The children will practice the number line independently using a practice page, which is an opportunity to do the guided practice. After reviewing the rules for working quietly, the teacher will work with a group of struggling students and need help or might need a different type of activity or support. At the end of the lesson, all students will give their papers to the teacher can evaluate their understanding of counting up and back on the number line as a summative assessment. The students will also discuss how adults may or may not use the number line when they add or take away things. I love that students can share their thinking using materials and drawings.

Based on my analysis, I believe that the lesson plan met the students' need to count. However, if I were the teacher, I would include the "student factors" and the "class profile specifics" sections in the lesson plan. This will enable me to group the students accordingly to give the support the children needs. I will also use more technology, like Chromebooks or Ipads. I believe technology helps to improve student engagement. The instructional choices I made based on curriculum goals are based on student learning needs. After reflection, instead of doing numbers 1 to 100 in one lesson, I will break it up and do it in several studies. Overall, I believe the choices I made will help them develop the basic essential skills for everyday life regarding addition and subtraction.
