people and as learners The students are learning math and some activities are related back to jobs or other interests, such as a
(supervisors) coffee shop or making fruit salad. Group work and collaboration are encouraged as a class, and I am sure
many students come from a more collectivist culture since the class is very diverse.

content? (talk to your CT) Some students do not understand expanded form and might need to use a chart to help illustrate place
value and provide scaffolding for writing in expanded form.
Students might forget to use 0s as placeholders, such as in the number 507, students might just write 57.

your objectives? with others or in turn. Students will master the objectives if they show that they understand the work
and accurately show this through an exit slip, which is a written version of the activity we did using dry
erase boards, which I will collect at the end. We will work from more dependent work with me taking
the lead, to eventually they will work on their own.
How does it align with your objective?
The plan directly aligns with the objectives because it is helping students work through the information
they need to know and practice it, and then they will do a final two numbers with the steps of the activity
on a paper individually, which I will collect. This will directly assess the objective of writing a number in
standard and expanded forms to better make a connection between those two forms and the model. In
order to show they have met the objective students will have write the correct forms 2/2 times with up
to 3 errors total.
Is your assessment formative or summative? Why did you make that assessment decision?
The assessment will be formative because it is embedded in the small group session. I feel that formative
assessments often provide better results and take less time as they are contained within a lesson, rather
than performed after or separate from the lesson. It is done as an exit slip, so it is more of a continuation
of the process we will be doing as a group.

I plan to use both turn taking and collaboration, starting with me working with students, then
moving to students working together in a pair, and then individually.

expecting a mix of students who need extra help for whatever reason.
