1) The document provides guidance on using the backwards approach to lesson planning, which involves first identifying the learning outcomes and then planning assessments, instruction, and the learning environment.
2) It gives an example of a math lesson on addition and subtraction using a hundreds chart, including an entrance slip, game activity, and discussion questions to assess learning.
3) Suggestions are made to address gaps in students' understanding of subtracting 8 by relating it to subtracting 10 and adding the difference.

We can also have students explain how to record the process by the use of a flip video or document camera during show and share time.<br />The process of modeling concretely, pictorially and symbolically will be ongoing over the next few weeks.<br />Model concretely, pictorially, or physically situations that c. involve the addition or subtraction of 1 and 2-digit numbers (with answers to 100) and explain how to record the process shown in the model symbolically.<br />Generalize and apply strategies for adding and subtracting 1 d. and 2-digit numbers (with answers to 100).<br />Select and explain a mental mathematics strategy that g. can be used to determine a sum of up to 18 (or related difference):<br />Grade 2<br />Mental Math blog: http://usingmentalmath.blogspot.com/<br /> http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/countersquare.html<br />online hundreds board<br />http://www.ixl.com/math/practice/grade-2-hundreds-chart<br />Teaching Strategies<br />The main focus is to assist students to visualize the patterns in the hundreds chart, which will improve their ability to calculate mentally. While initially students may need to see a chart, ultimately they will visualize the patterns and solve problems without reference to the chart.<br />http://www.education.vic.gov.au/studentlearning/teachingresources/maths/mathscontinuum/number/N15001P.htm#a1<br />Observational Notes during Hundreds Board Crash Game<br />NameConcretelyPictoriallySymbolically<br />Plan the learning environment and instruction<br />What learning opportunities and experiences should I provide to promote the learning outcomes?<br />What will the learning environment look like?<br />What strategies do children use to access prior knowledge and continually communicate and represent understanding?<br />What teaching strategies and resources will I use?<br />How can I differentiate the lesson to challenge all students at their learning ability?

Teacher models the symbolic representation on the board.<br /> (Ex.10+8+2=20)<br />Tell the students that today they will explore addition and subtraction on the hundreds board by playing an arrow game.<br />Show the students the types of arrows and what they mean.<br />Guided Instruction:Have students place the colored counter on _17__number. Draw the symbol arrow one down.What number are we on now? 27.What operation did you do? What would be the addition sentence for that?Do a few more with the students introducing up and left/right arrows.<br />During: <br />With a partner they will play a hundreds board CRASH CAR game.<br />You and your partner each need:Hundreds boardA highlighter different color than your partnersCRASH CARSWipe board or Recording SheetCalculators can be introduced on day 2Directions:Oldest goes first.Draw one “car” from the pile.Read the numeral out loud. Continue to say out loud what you are doing and thinking with your arrows.Example: I pick up a car that has the # 16I would say, ”start at 16 and go down or add 10..26 I end at 26.”I write on my wipe board 16+10=26Then use your highlighter to cover the #26.Now it is your partners turn.Repeat the above process.8 If anyone draws a CRASH car they lose a turn.<br />After or Show and Share:<br />What did you like about this game? What was difficult? Easy?<br />What strategies did you use to find your number? What operations did you use?<br />Assess student learning and follow up<br />What conclusions can be made from assessment information?<br />How effective have instructional strategies been?<br />What are the next steps for instruction?<br />How will the gaps in the development of understanding be addressed?<br />How will the children extend their learning?<br />You had mentioned that adding 8 was not difficult for your students, but subtracting 8 was.<br />If they become proficient using the hundreds board to add ten and can visualize then they will be able to subtract 8 by subtracting 10 and adding 2.<br />EX. 26-8=?<br />I think… <br />26-10=16+2=18<br />26-8=18 proof… 18+8=26<br />89+8=?<br />I think…<br />84-10=74+2=76 76+8= 70+ 6+8<br /> 70+ 14<br /> 84<br />Let’s explore this concept of subtracting 8 next lesson.<br />Notes:<br />](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/grade2additionandsubtraction-110330125321-phpapp01/85/grade-2-addition-and-subtraction-lesson-1-320.jpg)
