1. Topic(s) that students learned (Brief description of the math class) and related Standards (CCSS-M)
The third grade students have been working on a subtraction unit. Today the students were to work on subtracting from a
thousand. The students are expected to use both the algorithm method (abstract) and the place value chart (semi-concrete) to solve the
problem. The following Common Core State Standards were observed during the lesson.
CCSS: Third Grade
Theclasswassetupwitheightcirculartables. This third grade class had 33 students. From observing the classroom and the
communication that was taking place, this class would be considered a bilingual third grade class. The majority of all the posters hung
around the classroom whether they were math or another subject were written in both English and Spanish.
Strengths
Students understood and were able to label the place value chart. They would identify the ones, tens, hundreds, and now
thousands place.
Students were able to work in groups or with partners.
Weaknesses
