Creating a Standards-Based Lesson Plan

Student #1

Class Grade: Grade level 3

Academic Standard: Solve mathematical problems and problems in the actual world that involve the perimeter of polygons.

Learning Objective: Students should be able to calculate the perimeter of different polygons when all the side lengths are given. In addition, students should be able to find the side length of a polygon when the perimeter is given.

Aligned Learning Activity

Divide students into small groups and issuing questions that they are supposed to collaboratively solve. Ensure that the student is actively engaging in the group discussion to ensure he better understands the topic. This should be kind of a cross age peer tutoring whereby the student that is proficient on perimeter teaches the one that is not (Goldenfeld, 2016).

Brief Description of

Differentiation

Based on the class profile, the student is a slow leaner and therefore he requires much more time to comprehend what is taught in class. As result, he needs more practice in order to be at par with other fellow students.

Student #2

Class Grade: Grade level 3

Academic Standard: Solve mathematical problems and problems in the actual world that involve the perimeter of polygons.

Learning Objective: Students should be able to calculate the perimeter of different polygons when all the side lengths are given. In addition, students should be able to find the side length of a polygon when the perimeter is given.

Aligned Learning Activity

Grouping the student with other gifted students. Extensive research indicates that when gifted students work together in groups, their academic achievement is boosted because they are able to challenge themselves in ways that are unexpected (Plucker, 2016).

Brief Description of

Differentiation

This is a gifted student that has high performance capability. She is a fast learner and she requires greater challenging tasks to enhance her knowledge.

Home Extension Activity

Construct compound shapes and measure the side lengths then find the perimeter. The compound shapes should have more than seven side lengths.

Student #3

Class Grade: Grade level 3

Academic Standard: Solve mathematical problems and problems in the actual world that involve the perimeter of polygons.

Learning Objective: Students should be able to calculate the perimeter of different polygons when all the side lengths are given. In addition, students should be able to find the side length of a polygon when the perimeter is given.

Aligned Learning Activity

The student should be allowed to choose a group where he is comfortable. Through, this he will be able to pick a group whereby he is comfortable in engaging. After the group work, the student should be asked to present what was discussed during the group time.

Brief Description of

Differentiation

The student is neither a gifted student or a slow learner but he is an introvert and shy thus he rarely participates in group work.

Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sQ3dqhLsIw in order to understand how the side lengths are found when the perimeter is given. The student should present his findings at the beginning of the next class.
