5. Structure of a Math Lesson
• Diagnostic
• Learning Tasks
• Formative Assessment

6. Diagnostic
Determine Individual Student Readiness
• Math Message or Warm Up
• Student responses reveal readiness
• Which skill or concept needs a<en=on?
• Who needs support?
Example: Don wants to fence in part of his yard for a dog run. The dog run is a
rectangle that measures 30 feet by 10 feet. How much fencing should he buy?
Draw or explain.

7. Learning Tasks
Develop & Apply Concepts
1 or 2 tasks develop the concept
• Hands‐on
• Pairs or small groups
• Teacher listens, ques=ons, redirects
3rd task is applica=on
• Usually in math journals
• Teacher can target students in need
Example:
Task 1: Use geoboards to find perimeters with given dimensions
Task 2: Use geoboards to find different dimensions for same perimeter
Task 3: EDM journal page finding all dimensions for a given perimeter

8. Formative Assessment
Prescribes what needs to happen next
• Individual student responses
• Grades 3‐5 oKen looks like NJASK open‐ended task
• Teacher reviews student responses
• Determines next whole class lesson
• Determines supports for individuals
Example: Draper Elementary received 2200 feet of playground border.
Describe 3 playgrounds that have a perimeter of 2200 feet.
Explain which would make the best playground and why.
