Objective – What do I hope to accomplish?

o Reading: The students will be able to read the word and through concept mapping, they will provide rhyming words and words that relate. o Math: The students will be able to play a dice game that involves multi-step addition. The game will be played as a large group and it supports teamwork, turn-taking, and showing positive sportsmanship.

Plan to achieve objective

Reading: The students will be given a small bin of water. The teacher will give the students each a magic card in which they will place in the water when instructed to do so. A word will appear an the students will read the word. The word will be written on the board and the students will take turns providing rhyming words, and words that relate to the magic word. Math: Each student will be given one dice. The dice rules will be stated. The teacher will call upon students to help with the rules of the game. A student order will be chosen by the teacher. Each student will take his/her turn to roll every round. The students can use their number lines on their desks, their fingers, or mental math to solve each problem. Only the student whose turn it is may say the answer. The game is over once three people have achieved the “total” score that is chosen.
