Lessons

     Because I was working with teachers, the California Common Core standards addressed were based on what the teacher-learners were teaching. During my coaching, I presented a fun way to engage students with technology using Google Slides, Pear Deck, and an engaging dinosaur theme from Slidesgo. The demo lesson below, designed for second grade, addressed the following standards:
  • 2.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1
  • 2.OA.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.
  • 2.MD.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, . . . , and represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram.
  • 2.MP.4 Model with mathematics.
     During this demo lesson, students had access to digital manipulatives via Pear Deck. I used the Bridges materials for Day 17 of Number Corner and screenshot the images needed. I added text boxes for student responses and kept the pacing quick and rigorous. The 2nd grade teacher-learner stayed on the Zoom to watch my interactions with the students, see the lesson content, technology integration, and learn how to incorporate the 7 Habits within the lesson. 

     An easy way to incorporate the 7 Habits into lessons without re-creating the wheel, is to use the 7 Habits within your classroom management system. For example, when a student gets immediately to work, praise them for demonstrating Habit 1: Put First Things First. Or if a student is working well within their team, praise them for Habit 6: Synergize.
