Lesson Topic / Title: Solving one-step equations
Lesson Date: 11-17-20 Lesson Length: 15 minutes Grade/Age: 10th Grade
Learning Objectives & Content Standard Alignment - Selects, creates, and sequences learning
experiences and performance tasks that support learners in reaching rigorous curriculum goals
based on content standards.
Learning Objective(s) Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- Through direct instruction the student(s) will
Solve one-step equations with a 90% and above - The lesson will consist of
accuracy as measured by the completion of their direct instruction that will
practice sheet. walk the student(s) through
some of the math problems
and then have then explain
each step.
Content Standard(s) Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- Based on the pre-assessment
- Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. the student does not
(CCSS HSA.REI.B) understand much of the
material and needs direct
instruction.
- Because of the pre-assessment
results the instruction will be
tailored to the needs of the
student.
- Throughout the lesson the
promethean board will be
used so students can see the
problems done out.
Assessment - Uses assessment flexibly to expand and deepen understanding of learner performance
and determines best supports for continued learner growth.
Assessment Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- 2-2 Solving one-step Equations - For the lesson today, the
students will complete 2-2
practice sheet that goes along
with the content.
Instructional Materials and Resources - Stays current in content knowledge and expands expertise in
reviewing instructional materials from the perspectives of both the discipline and individual learner
needs.
Materials, Resources, and / or Technology Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- Calculator - To complete calculations and
- Computer do quick multiplication and
- Pencil division the student(s) will
need a calculator.
- They will need their computer
if they choose to do the
assignment online.
- A pencil for writing down their
answers.
Instructional Methods: Selects, creates, and sequences learning experiences and performance tasks
by using a variety of instructional approaches, strategies, and technologies that make learning
accessible to all learners and support learners in reaching rigorous curriculum goals.
Teaching and Learning Sequence Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- Introduce 2-2, provide hard copy for if they want - By going over previous
it. content the student(s) will be
- Go over previous covered content, activating their prior
- opposite of subtraction knowledge and using it for this
- opposite of Addition lesson.
- Model the first problem on the board - Model the first problem so that
- For the next problems write them on the board they know what the proper
and then have the student(s) tell you how to steps are. After, ask them each
solve, prompt them when necessary. step so that they are learning
- Answer any questions the student(s) may have and you can assess if they
understand the content.
Meeting students’ needs (differentiation, extensions, Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
modifications, accommodations)
- Hard copy of assignment opposed to online - A hard copy of the assignment
version will be provided if the
student(s) would prefer it.
Field Courses Only – Post lesson
Reflection
This lesson was very successful. The student was interested in the content and was
ready to learn. Halfway through however, a student burst through the classroom
door all excited and caused a slight distraction. If I was to do this lesson again I
would try to limit such distractions to allow more focus.
Teaching Standards and Rationale

learners.
- Standard 7 (Planning for instruction) 7(d) Plans for instruction based on formative and
summative assessment data, prior learner knowledge, and learner interest.
- Standard 8 (Instructional Strategies) 8(n) Knows how to use a wide variety of resources,
