Step 1): Identify a mathematical concept and rationale Consider the age group of the students you work with or hope to work with. Identify a developmentally appropriate math concept that you would like to teach. Why are you choosing this particular math concept? Your answer will be part of your rationale for the lesson plan template. Step 2): Choose a text that will allow students to explore the mathematical concept and provide a rationale Hintz and Smith (2-14) provided t categories of children's literature that can be used to explore mathematical concepts with children in Chapter 3, pp. 32-33. These categories are: text dependent mathematical idea enhancing exploring mathematics through illustration Locate a text (picture boo) that will address the mathematical concept you wish to explore and identify it as one of the categories as the basis of your rationale for choosing the text. This will be the rationale that you include in your lesson planning template. Step 3): Identify State Standards. Design an ELA learning objective that is linked to one ELA, CCCS Standard, and a content level objective that is linked to a math standard (Recall instructions for writing learning objectives in ED316) Step 4): Design a formative Assessment. How will you assess the achievement of the learning objective? Identify your formative assessment method for for your ELA learning objective. Step 5): Identify the effective reading comprehension strategy you will use to support students
