Procedure:
DAY 1:
1) To begin our unit each student will complete KWL chart in their journals, and then we will put all of our information together in a KWL chart on the board.
2) Discuss that there are 2 forms of measurement; non-standard and standard.
3) Show how to measure using a non-standard tool (gummy worm)
4) I will hand each student a gummy worm, explain to them what we are using it for... not eating!
5) Together we will measure the same item; desk (so that we will all get the same result.
6) Write down in journal the 5 things they are to measure, then I will release them to measure on their own and record their data.
7) We will transfer that data into a graph.
8) Discuss what we did, ask if anyone has questions, we will continue tomorrow.
DAY 2:
1) We will begin by reviewing what we did yesterday.
2) I will introduce standard tool, ruler, inches, estimation. (vocabulary)
3) I will show how to estimate and measure using a ruler
4) As a class we will estimate the same object, then measure the same object, and talk about results.
5) We will estimate first and record our data, we will actually measure tomorrow.
6) Transfer data to the computer and graph.
DAY 3:
1) We will review what we did yesterday.
2) We will actually measure the same objects that we measured the day before using rulers and record the data.
3) Transfer our data onto the graph and compare our results.
4) Write about our results in our journals and finish our KWL charts.

Technology Integration: The students will be using word documents to record their data and use a graphing program to make graphs.
Differentiated Instruction: Describe how you will differentiate the instruction for each of the following:
- Cognitive delay - I will give them written directions that are step by step so that are able to go at their own pace.
- Gifted - I will have them put in 2 different units of measurement (inches and centimeters)
- ELL - I will give them a paper with key words.
Reflect on:
Designing Instruction (InTask Standards 7 and 8):
- Why are you using the instructional methods you have described?
-I need to slowly introduce the topic of measurement and kids love anything food related, and I am having them get up and measure things because it is more exciting and engaging than measuring drawings on a worksheet. - How do the instructional methods align with what you know about best practices (think about your methods classes)?
- I believe that hands on activities and seeing data in different forms is important and engages the children more than completing a worksheet. - How are you engaging students in creative and higher order thinking?
- I am having them get up and measure objects using different tools and them comparing the different tools that they used by graphing. - How does your integration of technology support what you know about best practices for technology integration in the classroom? (Use the research that you and your classmates did as a resource)
-Using hands-on technology gets students more engaged just within the fact that it's technology. It is relevant to the students lives, so they are going to be more excited to participate.
