This document outlines an implementation plan using the SETT framework to help a 5th grade student named Sarah who is struggling with math worksheets due to issues with speed, legibility, and math skills. Data is gathered about Sarah's abilities, learning style, and environment. Additional tools like grips, graph paper, calculators, and math software are identified to help Sarah with organization, speed, calculation, and motivation. An intervention timeline is created to introduce the tools over several weeks and monitor Sarah's progress. Training needs for Sarah and staff are identified. Effectiveness will be measured through testing, work samples, interviews, and grades.
It is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about the lesson or topic: Graphic Organizers. It also includes the definition and types of the Graphic Organizers.
Lesson planning is a significant element of teaching-learning system. A lesson plan is a step-by-step guide that provides a structure for an essential learning. Before planning a lesson, it is essential to classify the learning outcomes for the class. It is important because it helps the teacher in maintaining a standard teaching pattern and does not let the class deviate from the topic. Pre-planning helps the teacher to be better equipped in answering questions asked by the students during the lecture.

Your Math Students: Engaging and Understanding Every DayDreamBox Learning
The most important and challenging aspect of daily planning is to regularly—and yes, that means every day—create, adapt, locate, and consider mathematical tasks that are appropriate to the developmental learning needs of each student. A concern Francis (Skip) Fennell often shares with teachers is that many of us can find or create a lot of “fun” tasks that are, for the most part, worthless in regards to learning mathematics. Mathematical
tasks should provide a level of demand on the part of the student that ensures a focus on understanding and involves them in actually doing mathematics.

This past school year I decided to use Data Notebooks to assist students in focusing on and making academic achievement. It was a huge success with my students and they achieved far more than I expected them to. This PowerPoint gives basic information about Data Notebooks and how to use them in your classroom.

The idea of blended learning—combining digital curricula and tools with face-to-face instruction—for elementary grades is becoming more popular, and educators are finding it works particularly well in mathematics. Our guests will provide successful approaches for implementing this technique, including resources, strategies, and examples of instruction, as well as tips for modeling blended learning in elementary grade math.
3. S - The Student
•What are the areas of instructional concern?
•What are the student’s current abilities?
•What are the student’s areas of need?
4. Sarah
Description:
• 5th grade student
• female
Problem:
• math sheets are hard to decipher
Needs:
• new strategies for speed and legibility
5. Questions
1. How does Sarah learn best?
2. Does Sarah have an issue with
focusing/distractibility?
3. Does Sarah have problems with math
skills/facts?
4. Is Sarah motivated? Does she “like”
math?
6. Find Out The Answers
1. Identify Sarah’s learning style.
2. Talk with Sarah’s other teachers. Is she
having legibility and speed problems in
other subjects or just math? Does she appear
to be focused in other subject or just math?
3. Test Sarah orally for knowledge of math
facts. Determine if problem is content/skill
based or a handwriting issue.
4. Talk with Sarah. Does she “like” math?
7. E - Environments
•What are the significant characteristics of
the student learning environment?
•What materials and equipment are students
and teachers using?
8. The Learning
Environment
Assumptions:
• Sarah is in a 5th grade classroom where students sit in
chairs at desks.
• Students work independently, in small groups and at
learning stations.
• Sarah uses a pencil and writes on worksheets and in a
workbook for math. Sometimes she uses manipulatives
such as: rulers, counting blocks, multiplication charts and
sometimes a calculator.
• The teacher may use an overhead projector, white board or
chalk board to present lessons.
• Occasionally the teacher and Sarah will use the computer.
9. T - Tasks
• What are the instructional expectations for
all students in the learning environment?
• What specific learning tasks are essential in
the student's achievement in this instructional
environment?
• Where are the gaps between students
performance and instructional expectations?
10. Instructional Expectations
• Sarah has the same instructional expectations
as her peers.
• She must show proficiency in age appropriate
basic math skills such as: addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, whole
number and fraction operations, simple
geometry and basic word problems.
• She must complete her work legibly and in a
given amount of time (time tested).
11. Specific Learning Tasks
• knowledge of math concepts
• legibility
• organization
• completion in given time
12. T - Tools
1. What tools are being used currently to
support the student?
2. What additional tools does this student
require to perform in this environment?
3. What strategies might be used to motivate
the student’s performance?
4. How will these tools provide an equitable
learning environment for the students in
meeting learning outcomes?
13. Tools
Assumption: Currently Sarah is using paper and
pencil to complete math activities.
Additional Tools May Include:
• Intellitools Math - an interactive problem-solving
tool with onscreen manipulatives.
• MathPad - an electronic number processor for
students who have difficulty doing math with
pencil and paper.
14. Tools Continued
• Number Concepts 2 - • MathLine - an actual
Students travel to math line that can be
the land of ice and held and manipulated
snow where polar by a wide range of
students. Move the
friends Penn and rings down the line to
Gwen help them see how numbers
master skip represent size and
counting, place quantity
value and factoring.
15. Tools Continued
• Built In Grips - Some
students can more easily
grasp and hold pens, pencils
or markers if they're built up
and made larger.
Teacher Productivity Tools
• Arithmefonts
• Math Companion
16. Tools Continued
Tools for Sarah
• improve manipulation of pencil (grips)
• improve organization of work (calculator,
MathLine, graph paper/spread sheet
• increase speed and accuracy of work
17. Tools Continued
Tools for the Teacher
• provide more practice opportunities for
Sarah (software to make quick/easy
worksheets)
• provide easy ways to create worksheets that
will help Sarah to be more legible
(spreadsheets to help Sarah align her
numbers)
18. Strategies
• Motivation - computer based activities makes the
task seem “fun” and more interesting. Lessen
Sarah’s workload. Less is more theory. Have her
complete 10 problems instead of 20.
• Legibility - use of graph paper/spreadsheets to align
numbers, use of pencil grips to help Sarah develop
more comfortable hand writing form
• Speed - Use Software or the MathLiner to help
Sarah learn her math facts better to improve speed.
20. Human Resources
and Their Roles
• Classroom Teacher -
• Design and implement lessons that increase
student learning.
• Accommodate students based on their needs and
abilities.
