Lesson plan 1 Verb Tenses: Past, Present, Future Fourth Grade

Technology Integration


Use an interactive whiteboard when playing the interactive games.


When showing students how to play the game, it would work best to display the game board on an interactive whiteboard, document camera, or projector, so that you can show students how to record as they play.


Assessment (10 minutes)


For a formative assessment, the game itself can serve as an intial assessment of student understanding related to te lesson objective.
For a summative assessment, either at the end of the lesson, or as homework, have students complete Greater Than, Less Than, Equal To? #1 worksheet.


EL


Beginning


Display an anchor chart with the greater than, less than, equal to symbols, and examples of number sentences using each symbol for reference during the assessment.


Intermediate


Ask students to explain their thinking as they complete the assessment. If students are not answering correctly, check to see whether they are able to identify which number is greater. Then, reteach the symbols.


Review and closing (5 minutes)


At the end of the lesson, pull together students to review what each symbol means.


Write 2-3 problems on the board and ask the students to help you figure out which symbol goes in between. Ask for student volunteers to read each problem in a sentence. For example, the sentence for 45 < 65, would read: 45 is less than 65.
To close, play your class the video Alligator Greater Than, Less Than Song.


EL


Beginning


Tell students that just like reading words, number sentences are read from left to right. Point below the number sentence as you read it aloud. Have students repeat the number sentence after you.


Intermediate

Allow students to share the number sentence with a partner before choosing a volunteer to share with the whole class.
