Artifact description: This artifact is a lesson plan I taught during student teaching. The lesson was fun and engaging and a way to differentiate instruction, since students used a deck of cards to find the mean and median of 7 cards. Students worked in groups of 2-3 students to do this activity, I provided them with a recording sheet for student to write the numbers they picked from the cards, and for them to write their answers. I also created a bellringer that introduced the activity all of it matched.

Standard connection: This lesson plan fits the Standard 2 - Content Area and Pedagogical

Knowledge because it shows that I know my content area and the needs of my students to be able to create meaningful learning.

Reflection: This was my favorite lesson plan because the students really had a great time finding the mean and median of a deck of cards. I believe that in order to think outside the box once must really know their content to think of other ways to teach the material but I also think as a sped teacher I need to take into consideration all the needs of my students and how can I make it so that everyone can participate and how can I enhance their learning.
