Plan for set-up/distribution/cleanup of materials:
White boards and pens will be set out on the carpet for children to sit by. Bowling pins
will also be set on the carpet before the lesson. Children will have white boards to write on top
of. They will be asked to bring a pencil to the carpet. Materials for the dice game will be given
out at the end of the lesson.
Key Questions:
the verge of being able to work independently, some students will be asked to work on their own
and then have the teacher check their work. This applies especially during the review in the
beginning as well as the bowling worksheet. These students will be reminded to use their fingers,
number lines, and drawings to help them figure out the solution to the subtraction problem.
During the bowling activity, they should use the visual of the bowling pins. For students who
struggle with attention, they will be reminded of the task and the directions. Attention grabbing
phrases and reminders will be used. Students who are advanced, depending on how they do with
the bowling activity, they may be able to try the final game with numbers between 0 and 15.
Early finishers will be reminded to check their work during the bowling activity and may be
asked to help clean up the pins. During the game, early finishers should try the game again and
see if they get a different result or speed compared to the first time they did the game.
