Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Topic

Amplify Math: Second Grade - Desmos Unit 1 Lesson 1

Objectives

• Students will understand basic mathematical concepts related to numerical patterns.
• Students will develop skills in using the Desmos platform to visualize and solve mathematical problems.
• Students will engage in collaborative problem-solving while working in pairs.

Materials

• Desmos platform access (Chromebooks or tablets)
• Projector and screen
• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets with example problems (printed copies)
• Classroom supplies (pencils, erasers)

Grade/Age Group

• Grade 2 (Ages 7-8)

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 Students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS) for second grade, particularly in understanding and applying concepts of place value, addition, and subtraction.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Desmos	5	Briefly introduce the Desmos platform, explaining how it will be used in the lesson. Show a demonstration of basic functions.
2	Group Discussion	5	Pose a question related to numerical patterns and allow students to discuss their thoughts in pairs. Share insights with the class.
3	Guided Practice	10	Provide students with example problems on the Desmos platform to practice numerical patterns. Walk around to assist as necessary.
4	Independent Work	5	Allow students to explore additional problems on Desmos independently while providing support to those who need it.
5	Wrap-Up and Reflection	5	Conclude the lesson with a group discussion on what was learned, allowing students to reflect on their use of Desmos and numerical patterns.
6	Homework Assignment	0	Explain the homework assignment without asking for student presentations. Ensure students understand the task to reinforce classroom learning.

Homework

• Assign a worksheet with more practice problems related to numerical patterns that students can complete independently at home. Students will submit their homework in the next lesson for review, without any presentations.

Assessment

• Monitor student engagement and participation during group discussions and guided practice.
• Collect homework assignments to evaluate understanding of the lesson's objectives.

Closure

• Remind students of the importance of recognizing patterns in mathematics and how digital tools like Desmos can help visualize these concepts. Encourage them to explore more about numerical patterns at home.
