Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and one's digits, recording the
results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <."
How this lesson connects to students' cultural, personal, and academic backgrounds:
It connects to the children's background by having a sense of
Academic Language Function
You are comparing the more significant than less than and equal signs in the lesson.
Targeted Academic Vocabulary (Key vocabulary necessary both before and during the lesson):
II. Assessment (How will you know?)
Do they match your objectives?
Formative Assessment (s) (checks for understanding throughout the lesson):
For a formative assessment, a game itself can provide an initial evaluation of student understanding
related to the lesson objective.
Summative Assessment(s) (if applicable):
For the summative Assessment, have the students complete a more significant than, less than, and
equal worksheet.

Learning Activities
What learning activities do you have
planned for the students?
Describe what may transpire during the
lesson.
How will you “hook” the students into
the lesson?
How will you model and provide
opportunities for guided, shared, and
independent practice?
What questions will you ask to engage,
guide, and assess learning?
The teacher will do (What will you
do during each step of the lesson?)
Students will do(What will
students be doing during each
step of the lesson?)

IV. Differentiation (How?)
•
How will you differentiate learning activities for the varied learning needs of your students? (Low, high, IEP,
ELL)
How will you differentiate your assessments for the varied learning needs of your students?
What materials may need to be adapted for the varied learning needs of your students?
•
•
For students who are prepared to work with numbers over 100, you could have them play More
prominent Than, Not precisely, Equivalent To Game: Three-Digit Numbers rather or notwithstanding
the More noteworthy Than, Not strictly, Equivalent To Game: Two-Digit Numbers.
For students who need more assistance, you might need to arrange them and play as a gathering
with them. Urge them to "showcase" the number examination by making a "crocodile mouth" with
their hands.
Reconciliation Utilize intelligent whiteboard when playing intuitive games. When telling students the
best way to play the game, it would work best to show the game board on a smart whiteboard, report
camera, or projector so you can show understudies the best way to record as they play.
