WICOR Lesson Plan
Course: All Math Courses
September 11, 2015
Instructor: Minott
Aim/Instructional Outcome: (The student will be able to):
How can we assess our knowledge of mathematics using standards and objectives from the regents?
Lesson Target: (I can do this at the end of the lesson):
 Conduct an individualized baseline assessment
As evidenced by the overall score on the common core regents
Common Core Learning Standards:
 A-REI.1
 A-REI.3
Vocabulary (for active Word Wall):
 Linear Equation
 Property of Equality
Instructional Materials/Resources:
 Regents Algebra I Common Core June 2015,
 Geometry Common Core June 2015
Do Now:
Time
Students will enter the classroom quickly and begin the
do-now on the smart board. The do-now will be one
spiraled question from the previous day lesson, which is
derived from previous common core or integrated
algebra regent examinations (when applicable).
Mini-Lesson with Modeling: (“I do)
5min
Instructor will engage students with previous concepts
of solving a one-step equation while highlighting the
new vocabulary of property of equality. Furthermore,
students will be then introduced to solving a two-step
equation while using the properties which justify each
step in solving an equation.
10min
Time
Instructional
Grouping:
Students are
grouped
heterogeneously
during the
teacher-modeled
portion of the
lesson based upon
previous behavior
and academic
performance.
During the learning
activity, students
are selected (in
stations) based
upon student
comprehension of
question
presented by
instructor
Differentiation
Strategies:
 Graphic
Organizers
which
includes but
not limited to
foldables,
Frayer
models, Venn
diagrams,
etc.
 Stations which
reflect the
daily learning
target but
specify and
highlight
student
weakness
 Choice
boards which
give students
multiple
entries into
the lesson
Student Work Period/Learning Activity: Guided Practice
(“We do) and Independent Practice (“You do”)
Time
Under the guidance of the instructor, students will
dissect an example independently or with partner.
Instructor will walk around room to ensure students are
on task and answer misconceptions which may be left
unsolved.
25 min
Higher Order Questions: (Bloom/Webb)

Students will be given a choice board to complete with
their group. Group Selection is shown under
instructional grouping.
Station Protocol (when choice board is not available):
As instructor walks around the room, during student
work period, instructor will place color coded labels on
student’s paper. Student will disperse into correct
station based upon color coded label. Station material
will focus on the learning targets of the day but will
highlight and perfect their conceptual weakness or
further expand their conceptual knowledge to exceed
standards.
Summary
Time
Students will answer essential question in Cornell Notes
and must complete formal assessment.
5 mins
Formal Assessment
When students are given a choice board as the
learning activity, a formal exit slip with attached rubric
will be given which highlights the lesson targets. When
station protocols are active, students will hand in
station material for evaluation
