Lesson Title: Multi-Digit Multiplication
Learning Objective: Common Core 5.NBT.B.5 - Multiply multi-digit whole numbers by using the standard algorithm.
Creating an instructional video allows for flexibility in pace and place. Students can watch a video from home or in the classroom.
My workflow for creating content is to keep it brief and weed anything out that is not relevant. I also try to segment videos, match modality, signaling, or cueing, and remember to consider accessibility.
Also, watch how I've added embedded questions in EdPuzzle to increase engagement.
Students use the guided notes as they follow along with the instructional video. They will pause the video as needed to solve the different problems. I typically print this resource for students to complete.
Students are then able to refer back to their notes to review how to solve different problems during their practice.
When planning for practice, the first thing I do is look over the standard. Once I know the standard, I find practice either in resources I already have, resources included in my district materials, or I look for other teacher-created resources.
Depending on the resource that I find, I will then adapt to make it fit for my students and to fit the standard.
When creating a mastery check, I look over the standard, create success criteria and then develop the 2-4 questions to include.
I like to make mastery checks less than four questions so I can grade quickly and conference with students to help determine their next steps.
I try to include at least two different mastery checks. Having two mastery checks keeps academic integrity and makes giving a revision quick and simple. When I have two different versions of mastery checks, I am more prepared during class.
In Google Classroom, students are required to make a copy of this roadmap. I color code my roadmap progress tracker based on lesson classification. Students have been taught how to add a shape to the Google Slide and are able to track the activities they have done this way.
I have random check-ins where I add Pear Deck and have the students drag where they are on the Pear Deck. This allows me to get a quick check to see which students might need an extension and which students need additional support.
