Math Activity #1 – Statistics/Data Grade 3
(20 points)
As part of each unit, you will be expected to submit an activity appropriate for elementary school students. The activity will be related to a topic for that unit. For our first activity, I am giving you some specific guidance about the topic and the grade level.
Assignment Guidelines:
0 Go to the Georgia Standards for Excellence Curriculum Framework and look at Unit 1: Number and Operations in Base Ten https://www.georgiastandards.org/Georgia-Standards/Frameworks/3rd-Math-Unit-1.pdf OR Unit 6: Measurement https://www.georgiastandards.org/Georgia-Standards/Frameworks/3rd-Math-Unit-6.pdf
0 Scroll through the units and look for activities that have some type of graphing or data component (similar to the content we have been learning in MA230).
0 Select one lesson/activity, which will likely be a few pages. Print these pages, since you will be writing on this lesson plan and turning it in.
0 Write one paragraph briefly summarizing the lesson and another paragraph explaining why you selected this particular lesson. (This can be on an attached sheet of paper or written on the printed lesson plan).
0 Select two of the Mathematical Practices that the lesson addresses (these are listed in the lesson plan). Highlight where in the lesson plan you think students would be engaged in these two practices (You may want to color code, and highlight one practice, 1 color, and the other practice another color). Write extra notes by these spots in the lesson plan explaining your justification of how students are engaged in the mathematical practice.
0 Highlight one of the Common Core standards that the lesson addresses. Next to it write how this lesson addresses that standard.
0 If you need, use the NC 2017 Unpacked Content #th Grade Math Standard documents at https://www.dpi.nc.gov/teach-nc/curriculum-instruction/standard-course-study/all to help you understand what each standard is referencing for students to do.
———————————————————————————————————————-
0 Your submission should have:
0 The lesson plan with markings/highlighting and two paragraphs.
0 An additional paper if you wanted more room for writing (optional).
0 Due: September 23rd in class or online.

3 pointsA detailed paragraph provides description of at least 1 reason why the lesson plan was selected.
2 pointsA general paragraph provides some ideas about why the lesson plan was selected.
1 pointNo paragraph was included.
Two Mathematical Practices (5 points)
5 pointsAt least two mathematical practices are highlighted and discussed with accuracy. Strong examples are marked and discussed from the activity as evidence of how students would be engaged in each mathematical practice.
4 points At least two mathematical practices are highlighted and discussed, but
there may be some inaccuracies. Some examples are marked and discussed as evidence of how students would be engaged in each mathematical practice.
3 pointsOne mathematical practice is highlighted and discussed with accuracy. Some examples are marked and discussed as evidence of how students would be engaged in the mathematical practice.
2 pointsMathematical practices are highlighted but there are some misconceptions about what students are doing to be engaged in each of them.
1 pointsMathematical practice(s) are highlighted but there is no descriptions or markings in the lesson plan.
Standard Addressed (5 points)
5 points The explanation of how this lesson addresses the highlighted content standard is accurate and demonstrates mathematical thinking and understanding of the standard.
4 pointsThe explanation of how this lesson addresses the highlighted content standard is accurate, but may lack mathematical thinking or explaining.
3 pointThe explanation of how this lesson addresses the highlighted content standard has some inaccuracies.
2 pointThere is only a content standard highlighted/addressed.
1 pointThere is no content standard highlighted/addressed.
