 * 15 minutes || Mini-lesson: The teacher will introduce the standard and present a multi-step model problem to students on the SMART board. The teacher will complete a 4 square graphic organizer including the word problem, a blank statement, unit bar, and computation. The teacher will model each step including several strategies which could be used to solve the problem. || *Model Problem: Janet was trying to earn enough money to buy a new game.

MONITOR Ongoing Assessment(s): The teacher will do informal observations to check for understand while partners work to solve the problem. Accommodations and Extensions: Accommodations: Additional addition and subtraction practice will be available for students who are not yet fluent in this area. Students will have access to addition and subtraction practice on [|www.compasslearningodyssey.com] and [|www.aplusmath.com] Extensions: This lesson will be extended by encouraging students to write their own word problem based on this standard. Students can then exchange problems with others and solve. EVALUATION Lesson Reflections and notes:
