Geralynn Otero Final Lesson Plan
Name: Geralynn Otero Grade: 2nd Grade Topic: Measurement and Geometry
Brief Lesson Description:
In this lesson, students will be provided the opportunity to use different measurement tools in order to measure
objects within the classrooms well as learning what to use in order to measure those items. Students will be
introduced to different tools while working with their peers.
How did this lesson develop as a result of your examination of research and data about employing culturally sustaining pedagogical
strategies? (Think equal opportunity, student interests, race, gender, disabilities etc.)
When creating and implementing this lesson plan, I considered the many ways students can be more hands on and
interactive with each other as well as how I can accommodate those students who may need the extra help or a
more advanced lesson. I plan to allow my students to use the interactive white board to show their knowledge of
the terms we are discussing as well as work with their peers to learn about the new measurement tools we will use
during this unit. Students will be able to measure objects of choice within the classroom while engaging and
interacting and enjoying the lesson they are being taught.
Measurement and Geometry: 2.17 The student will create works Understand measurable attributes
2.8 The students will estimate and of art inspired by a variety of of objects and the units, systems,
measure concepts, themes, and/or literary and processes of measurement.
a. length to the nearest inch; and sources.
b. weight to the nearest pound
Specific Problem-Solving Strategy being used:
1. Measurement
2. Geometry
3. Data
Possible Preconceptions/Misconceptions:
Vocabulary:
1. Ruler
2. Foot
3. Meter
4. Length
5. Measure
6. Measuring
7. Width
8. Measuring Tape
9. Centimeter
10. Inch
11. Yardstick
Materials:
- Construction Paper
- Interactive White Board
- Markers
- Vocabulary Word Print Out
- Math Notebooks
- Crayons
- Colored Pencils
Instructions
1. Provide students with construction paper
2. Students should divide the construction paper into three columns.
3. Teacher will load the same onto the white board for students with the list of vocabulary words.
4. Teacher will have the students one by one raise their hands in order to match the images correctly from
tool to units, to the objects.
5. Students will complete this task until all terms have a been placed into a column.
6. Teacher will review the columns with the students.
7. Teacher will instruct students to take their Math Notebooks out and begin working on their Math
Vocabulary Word Visuals.
8. Students will use the white board as well as their prior knowledge to draw visuals.
9. Students will work on their vocabulary for the remainder of the math period until all visuals are
completed and glued into their math notebook.
Mini Lesson:
1. Measurement Monsters
Materials:
- Crayons
- Markers
- Colored Pencils
- Construction Paper
- Rulers
- Measurement Monster print out
- Glue
1. Wrapping up the end of the lesson, student will work on creating measurement monster out of scrap paper from the paper
bin.
2. Teacher will introduce Measurement Monsters as a creative activity with very little directions.
3. Students will use the scrap paper to create their own measurement monster ranging in any size and shape.
4. Students must measure the height of the monster, the length of the monster, the height of the monster’s leg and the length of
the monsters’ feet, the monsters’ mouth, and so on. All parts of the monster must be measured.
5. Students will share their monsters with the class and hang it onto the class artwork board.
EVALUATE:
Formative Monitoring (Questioning / Discussion):
Students will be evaluated during the interactive white board lesson, and the measurement of the classroom
activity.
Summative Assessment (Quiz / Project / Report) (Include a rubric):
1. Measurement Pretest
2. Measurement Test
Students will be not be needing a rubric, they will be scored on their pre and posttest.
Plan for differentiation: (Be sure to specifically address the following learners)
Students with high-incidence disabilities (e.g., autism, ADHD, mild learning disorders): These students
will be provided extra time on task with the help of the teacher if needed. These students will also be
provided with more resources and materials with enlarged writing.
ELL: These students will be provided vocabulary cards in their native language and given extra time to
complete task.
Gifted learners: Asked to measure items and multiply the two together.
