A teacher is planning a unit to address the following fifth-grade science standard:
Understand the variety of roles that organisms perform in an ecosystem, including
biodiversity, energy acquisition, and producers, consumers, and decomposers.
What goals should the teacher develop to align with this standard? - Correct Answer
✔️✔️-Short-term goal: Students will define producers, consumers, and decomposers.
Long-term goal: Students will describe the importance of biodiversity within an
ecosystem.
Short-term goal - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-Students will create an outline showing the
organization of the reasons and evidence.
,Short-term goal - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-Students will determine several reasons to
support an argument and will organize the reasons in a logical order.
Objective - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-Students will be able to construct and write an
argument with three reasons and evidence for each.
Long-term goal - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-Students will support claims in a well-organized
manner using clear reasons and evidence.
A third-grade teacher is creating a language arts lesson to address the following
standard:
Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and
teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade three topics and texts, building on others'
ideas, and expressing their own clearly.
The teacher plans for students to read a short story at the third grade reading level, and
then will place students in small heterogenous groups to discuss the characters in the
story.
Which statement describes how the lesson plan aligns to the standard? - Correct
Answer ✔️✔️-Students are engaging in a peer discussion in diverse groups.
A math teacher presents students with various examples of polygons and non-polygons
and asks the students to develop a definition of polygons based on the examples and
non-examples.
,Which type of instructional approach is this teacher using? - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-
Inductive instruction
A fifth-grade teacher decides to use an eighth-grade lesson plan in which students will
listen to a guest speaker discuss the importance of engaging in community service for
their local neighborhood, and then will ask the guest speaker questions.
The original lesson had students write a paper that delineated the speaker's argument
and specific claims and evaluate the soundness of the argument. The teacher replaced
this activity with one in which students would write a paragraph summarizing the
information provided by the speaker with appropriate elaboration and detail.
Why did the teacher make the adjustment to the lesson plan? - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-The
original activity required skills that were too advanced for fifth-grade students.
Match the math standard that aligns with each lesson component. - Correct Answer
✔️✔️-Create a graph based on time and distance -Patterns, functions, and algebraic
structures
Practice solving equations using a balance -Patterns, functions, and algebraic
structures
Use number properties to rewrite expressions - Number sense, properties, and
operations
Read a book about finding circumference and
area - Shape, dimension, and geometric relationships
, Play a game that involves rolling two sets of dice and examining the outcomes - Data
analysis, statistics, and probability
Match each source of student diversity with the appropriate instructional strategy. -
Correct Answer ✔️✔️-Gender-Provide successful male and female role models
Physical-Include psychomotor development activities
Cognitive-Challenge with varied assignments
Language-Identify and clarify difficult words and passages
Cultural-Use familiar speech and events
Socio-economic status-Provide realistic expectations for work
A teacher develops a lesson in which students will complete math problems that
demonstrate their understanding of the place value of whole numbers and decimals to
two decimal places and how whole numbers and decimals relate to simple fractions.
How does this lesson plan align with the mathematics content standards for fourth
grade? - Correct Answer ✔️✔️-It takes number sense into consideration as one of the
strands for this lesson.
In a second-grade class, students explore equivalent fractions through music. Using an
interactive white board lesson demonstrating whole notes, half notes, quarter notes,
eighth notes, and sixteenth notes played by an alto sax, the students will count the
length of the music notes by clapping. Students will write a fraction for each of the notes
on their own white board and then check their answer on the interactive white board.
