The instructional strategies that are fitting for the lesson activity I would like to perform with the students are reinforcing effort and providing recognition in a cooperative learning environment.
These strategies will influence the students in a positive manner because it is fun and when the students are rewarded and praised for correct answers amongst the team their level of achievement can be high. For those children that got the answer wrong, it will be a goal for them to try to get it correct on the second round.
Learners Outcome: to know how to subtract three-digit numbers with regrouping more than once.
Lesson Activity:
- 20 students have prearranged the desks in three teams (Group 1 has 6 students, Group 2 and 3 have 7 students).
- One member of each group goes up to the chalkboard for a timed drill to complete the same subtraction problem of three digit numbers.
First student completed and correct answer gets 3 points.
Second student completed and correct answer gets 2 points
Last student completed and correct answer gets 1 point
*if incorrect the student gets no points, but gets another chance up at the board.
3. Continue until all children have gone up to perform a problem
I have seen this game take place in my observation fieldwork, and the students really got into it and really were focused to try and get the correct answer.
ELL and ESE children participated in the game as well.
What a great game! All students get to participate and I think it is awesome that if fulfills the concept of ESE and ESL students being in a least restrictive environment.
