Title of Lesson: __________________________
Grade:______________________
Mathematics Learning Objectives: Describe the exact learning expectations for your students. You must phrase
the expectations in a way that you will be able to say a student did or did not learn it.(Be sure to use action verbs and
think about Blooms Taxonomy). Be sure to include objectives that cover both skills/procedures and
concepts/reasoning/thinking/strategies.
Example: Students will explain and apply a strategy for determining if a number between 10 and 50 is even or odd.
Non-example: (Goal Statement not Objective) Students will understand what even and odd numbers are.
Alignment with Oklahoma C3 Standards (Common Core Standards for School Mathematics):
Domain/Content:
State the specific domain and standard that the lesson directly addresses
Example:2.OA.C.3 Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of
members, e.g., by pairing objects or counting them by 2s; write an equation to express an even number as a
sum of two equal addends.
Mathematical Practices:
Describe how your lesson plan is engaging students with the mathematics by stating 2-3 mathematical
practices that your students will be engaging in during your lesson. For each provide 1-2 sentence
describing exactly how you see students engaging through that mathematics practice.
Prior Academic Knowledge and Conceptions: What requisite skills do students need in order to access the lesson
and participate fully? How the content of this lesson builds on what students already know and are able to do? How
is the lesson building on previous lessons or previous learning? What gaps do the students have that are necessary
to support the learning of the skills and concepts of this lesson? How will you address activating students prior
knowledge that will be needed for this lesson.
Common Errors and Misconceptions: What are common errors or misunderstandings of students related to the
central focus of this lesson? How will you address them for this group of students?
Launch: _______ minutes
Describe how you will introduce the activity or problem. How will you start the lesson to engage and motivate
students in learning?
Instruction:_______ minutes
List the specific task/problem you will give them. (What will you do to engage students in developing
understanding of the lesson objective(s)?)
How will you set up the task for students? How will you link the new content (skills and concepts) to
students prior academic learning and their personal/cultural and community assets? How will you link
the new content (skills and concepts) to students prior academic learning and their personal/cultural
and community assets?
What are students to be doing? How will you engage students to help them understand the concepts?
What will you say and do? What questions will you ask? Facilitating Questions. What are some
potential questions you will ask students as you observe (ask good questions related to your objectives;
dont just say good job!). How are you making sure each child is accountable?
How will you facilitate discussion of the task posed? What questions will you ask students that will
help them understand the mathematics they explored in their task or activity? How will you structure
those questions (e.g., think-pair-share, share with a shoulder partner, etc) so that all students will be
participating in answering each question? How will your students present their findings?
Structured Practice and Application: _______ minutes
How will you give students the opportunity to practice so you can provide feedback?
How will students apply what they have learned?
How will you determine if students are meeting the intended learning objectives?
Closure: _______ minutes

How will you wrap up the lesson? This piece allows the students to clarify their thoughts about what they
learned. It is often a good idea for them to write or talk about what they learned today. Will this be a journal
entry? Will it be a conversation? Student led? Or Teacher led?
Differentiation/ Planned Support:
How will you provide students access to learning based on individual and group needs?
o Whole Class:
o Groups of students with similar needs:
o Individual students:
o Students with IEPs or 504 plans:
o Earlier finishers
o Strategies for responding to common errors and misunderstandings.
How will you support students with gaps in the prior knowledge that is necessary to be successful in
this lesson?
Student Interactions:
How will you structure opportunities for students to work with partners or in groups?
What criteria will you use when forming groups?
What Ifs:
What might not go as planned and how can you be ready to make adjustment?
Materials:
What materials does the teacher need for this lesson?

What materials do the students need for this lesson?
Academic Language:
What key vocabulary (content-specific terms) do you need to teach and how will you teach students
that vocabulary in the lesson?
What opportunities will you provide for students to practice the new language and develop fluency
(written or oral)?
What specific way(s) will students need to use language (reading, writing, listening and/or speaking)
to participate in learning tasks and demonstrate their learning for this lesson?
What language function (e.g. compare/contrast, describe, interpret, model) did you use within this
lesson to facilitate student learning of the central focus of the lesson?
Assessment:
Describe the tools/procedures that will be used in this lesson to monitor students learning of the lesson objective(s).
Attach a copy of the assessment and the evaluation criteria/rubric in the resources section at the end of the lesson
plan.
