Lesson Content
MAFS.K.CC.3.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less
than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and
counting strategies.

What Standards (national

or state) relate to this
lesson?
(You should include ALL
applicable standards. Rarely do MAFS.K.CC.3.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.

never get through them all.)
Essential Understanding
(What is the big idea or
essential question that you
want students to come away
with? In other words, what,
aside from the standard and
our objective, will students
understand when they finish
this lesson?)

Students will understand that numbers on a number line follow the same order as when
we count verbally.

Step-by-Step Plan
Time
(What exactly do you plan to
do in teaching this lesson? Be
thorough. Act as if you needed
a substitute to carry out the
lesson for you.)
Where applicable, be sure to
address the following:

What Higher Order

Thinking (H.O.T.) questions
will you ask?

How will materials be

distributed?

Who will work together

in groups and how will you
determine the grouping?

How will students

transition between
activities?

What will you as the

teacher do?

What will the students

do?

What student data will

be collected during each
phase?

What are other adults in

the room doing? How are
they supporting students
learning?

What model of coteaching are you using?

Who is

Each content area may require a different step-by-step format. Use

whichever plan is appropriate for the content taught in this lesson.
For example, in science, you would detail the 5 Es here
(Engage/Encountering the Idea; Exploring the Idea;
Explanation/Organizing the Idea; Extend/Applying the Idea;
Evaluation).
I will ask students how many more is 7 than 10 (just an example if
they are stuck and struggling)
I will have their number lines and sticky notes set up prior to
starting the lesson.
I will have them in pairs and I will be doing the choosing by
matching higher level students with lower level students.
They have table numbers/colors I will call to transition them.
I will instruct, help, and observe.
The students will listen, learn, and show me their learning.
I will be making observations throughout and also collecting their
finished work.
Other adults are observing.

What will you do if

a student struggles with the content?

Place a number on their line to get them started.
Show them the number lines in the class room.

What will you do if

a student masters the content quickly?

Have them arrange the numbers from greatest to least.

Meeting your students

needs as people and as
learners

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
This lesson connects to their interests because they like to work in pairs and
they also like active learning. They will use 1-10 counting their entire lives.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
I will ask students what are some different things they can count 10 or more
of in their homes and outside.

How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?
Students will be encouraged to show me the number line in a different way by
going from greatest to least. If students need support I will ask their partners
to help them and also to look around the room to see if there is anything that
can help them count.

How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
No students in this class need language support, however if they did I would
have these students first count out the numbers in their native language and
then with the help of their partner say the numbers in english and begin the
activity.
Accommodations (If
One student may need the directions explicitly explained to him individually after the
needed)
whole class has been instructed.
(What students need specific
accommodation? List individual
students (initials), and then
explain the accommodation(s)
you will implement for these
unique learners.)
Materials
(What materials will you use?
Why did you choose these
materials? Include any
resources you used. This can
also include people!)

Number line, sticky notes, pencils!
