Long Lesson Plan for 2 observed lessons

Lesson Schedule
Targeted teacher questions to promote HOTS
Student communication and use of math language
Engage (warm up, review prior knowledge):

time

Flower activity:
In the activity the answers will be at the paper, students have to match between the petals with
the answer. The teacher will model one flower to students to understand it. Then, she will give
the students the flower and petals to start the activity, also the students should have glue to
stick the petal with the flower. The important point of that is to glue part of the petal and that to
allow seeing the question and the answer.
