Math Lesson Plan Assignment

/in /by
It is important for all students, especially students with disabilities, to be exposed to content-based lessons that promote critical thinking and problem solving. There are many areas that a student may struggle in when it comes to mastering complex mathematical tasks. For this reason, it is imperative that teachers are equipped with various instructional strategies for handling these situations.
Part 1: Operation and Algebraic Thinking Lesson Plan
Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” design a lesson for the 1-5 grade level of your choice and a corresponding Arizona or other state math standard within the Operation and Algebraic Thinking domain.
Locate four lesson plans that focus on your chosen grade level and math standard from four different websites to review.
Using the lesson plans as resources, design a new operation and algebraic thinking lesson plan that encourages critical thinking. The lesson plan must include differentiated strategies for students who struggle with perception and attention as well as differentiation strategies for students who struggle with memory and retrieval.
Part 2: Instructional Strategies Rationale
In 250-500 words, reflect upon your instructional choices and rationalize the appropriateness of each strategy related to the specified student needs and learning target. Describe how each strategy encourages critical thinking specific to your lesson.
Support your choices with this topic’s readings and a minimum of two scholarly resources. In addition, cite the websites you used as references to develop your lesson plan.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, sold academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This course entails completing a Final Project that will demonstrate your proficiency in applying health-behavior theories and models related to psychosocial, cultural, and environmental factors to the development of strategies that promote behavior change in a specific population with a specific health issue. Theories are the cornerstone of health interventions, but without proper alignment between theory and strategy, effective health strategies to change behaviors will prove elusive.

The Final Project is due in Week 5; however, you will be submitting drafts of sections of the Final Project in Milestones to your Instructor for feedback. This will help you stay focused and organize your time efficiently. This week, you will complete your first milestone for the Final Project.

To prepare:

  • Review the Final Project Instructions PDF in your Learning Resources.
  • Select a population of interest and a health issue that affects this population for your Final Project.
  • Research at least one evidence-based data source to support your rationale for your selected population and health issue. To conduct your search, use Walden Library’s “Statistics & Data: Statistics & Data by Topic” resource at https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/library/statistics/statisticsbytopic.

Assignment

In an MS Word document:

  • Sescribe in 2–3 paragraphs your population of interest and a health issue that affects this population.
  • Then, provide a brief rationale for choosing the population and health issue for your Final Project.
  • Include in your rationale how behaviors are related to this health issue. All in-text citations and references must conform to APA guidelines.

mpressions are everything in a professional presentation. Your slides should have a professional appearance. PowerPoint hints can help you avoid frequent blunders, keep your audience engaged, and deliver a polished presentation in both format and content. Professional presentations are essential for demonstrating or telling others what you are doing for them (Sieber, 2019). This post will address my strengths and flaws. The ability to provide successful and exciting presentations to a range of audiences is known as presenting skills.

My strength for professional presentation is the ability to engage the audience with my organizational skills. One weakness I could think of regarding my professional presentation is that sometimes my presentation is flooded with information, and I doubt my audience is missing the vital information. To enhance my organization skills based on the framework developed, logically organize the content of the presentation. Keep the audience interested no matter how you structure your presentation to assist them in recalling the material. You may accomplish this by asking questions or asking to share personal experiences with the subject. I have to include more pictures for my weakness while presenting my topics to keep them engaging and highlight important points. It might be challenging initially, but if you acknowledge your flaws and make an effort to improve, it will surely make a difference.

Professional presentations are important when a researcher wants to spread their findings and gain a following. It can be a daunting task to present something to an audience that a person is passionate about because you want to gain that attention and for the information to be infectious to those who receive it. One of my personal weaknesses is a fear of public speaking. In one study of college students, 64% of those surveyed reported a fear of public speaking, making it one of the most common weaknesses among presenters (Vogel & Viale, 2018). Fear of public speaking may very easily lead to a bad presentation. Tips to avoid a bad presentation include: Preparing, avoiding a long presentation, and paying attention to your audience (Vogel & Viale, 2018). I think that rehearsing the presentation, like an actor rehearses their lines will help to promote confidence in the material and give the presenter control of the presentation. 

One of my strengths is that I love to learn, I will study a topic until I feel confident enough to talk intelligently about it, I will not pretend I know what I’m talking about if in fact I do not fully understand it. Tips from Vogel & Viale (2018) include knowing your subject, knowing your audience, opening impactfully, and keeping the time to a minimum. This allows for the information to remain pertinent and prevents the audience from losing attention. In my own personal experience, I like to address possible questions prior to the presentation, so that I can quickly and confidently answer questions that may be posed. Power point presentations are my preferred method of presenting a project because it gives a visual focus, as well as am auditory, which can capture multiple types of learners and engage the majority of the audience.

A weightlifter reads about a new supplement that increases the size of muscles in less than one month. He wants to see if it actually works so he designs the following experiment with his friends. He divides them into two groups of 5. Before the experiment begins, he takes their weight and measures their major muscle groups. One group is given the supplement with water once a day after dinner for a month. The other group is given a placebo with water once a day after dinner for a month. Each group eats the same meals three times a day and works out the same way daily at the gym. The ages of the individuals vary from 20 – 50, and some are men and others are women. At the end of the month, the weightlifter takes the weight and measures the major muscle groups again of his friends.

SCENARIO 2: (20 pts)

During a school staff meeting, several staffers mentioned that it seemed to them that students who chose healthier food options at lunch time missed fewer days from school during the school year. The high school dietitian and social worker decided to collect data to test the hypothesis. They received approval from the principal and superintendent to conduct their research study. The dietitian collected data about which students chose healthy food options at lunchtime.  She collected data for one lunch period each day. The social worker independently checked the attendance records of the students who had lunch during that lunch period. At the end of the school year, they shared the data they collected over the school year then analyzed the results.

SCENARIO 3: (20 pts)

A nutrition researcher recently learned that several members of an ocean side community have been complaining of headaches and nausea. The researcher met with members of the community to try to determine what they might all have in common. She learned that they all eat at Acme restaurant at least once per week. She approached the restaurant owner to discuss possible causes for the complaints. The owner and the chef are baffled, but then remembered that they started using a different brand of seafood seasoning. The nutritionist asks if she can conduct a research study, and the owner and chef agree. The researcher and her medical doctor colleague receive approval from their university to conduct the study. They pay 20 research participants (ages 20-21 years old, male and female) to participate in the study.  Ten participants (five males, five females) are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will eat the dish prepared with the new brand of seasoning, and the other group will eat the dish prepared with the old, previously used brand of seasoning.  Only the nutritionist and the chef are aware of which participant receives which seasoning. The medical doctor research partner will meet with each participant the day after they eat at Acme restaurant to conduct a health survey and assessment, including questions about headaches and nausea.
