Daily Lesson GAME Plan || GOALS ||  1. Students will represent numerical data using tables and graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs. (MA #17) 2. Students will measure length and width using customary units. (MA#14) 3. Students will find the area of rectangular shapes. (reviews grade 3 MA #12) 4. Students will use technology tools to organize, interpret, and display data. (TE #9) ||  2. Communication and collaboration

ACTION || During Class || Time || Instructional Activities || Materials and Resources || 10-15 minutes || Review with students how to use a tape measure to measure the length and width of objects. Students will practice in pairs measuring objects such as books, desks, and boards in the classroom. Assign homework: Students need to go home and find 3 objects to measure. Students should record the name of the object and its length and width. Students may take home tape measures if necessary. || Tape measures for pairs of students || 45-60 minutes || Students will take their measurements from the night before and create a VoiceThread giving the names of the objects and their lengths and widths. Students will be given flexibility in what type of VoiceThread they create. They can just type the information in a Word document, upload it, and provide a brief narration, or students can create a video to describe their objects. Students will be informed of the assignment ahead of time so if they want to create the video at home while measuring the objects they can. Students will post a link to their VoiceThread on the class blog. || Computer with internet access and microphone Word processing software || 10-15 minutes || Taking the list of measurements created the day before in the classroom, we will review finding the area of a rectangular shape. || ||  30-45 minutes  || Students will be assigned three students’ VoiceThreads to view and find the areas of their objects. Students must comment and give their found areas for each of the three objects. || Computer with internet access and microphone || 30-45 minutes || After students have had time to figure out the measurements, we will come together as a class to make a tally chart of the measurements. Each student will come to the ACTIVboard and make a tally for their three objects in a tally chart the students have helped me create. || Computer ACTIVboard projector || 10-15 minutes || Students will work in pairs to create a bar graph representing the data collected in the tally chart. || Graph paper crayons || MONITOR || EVALUATION ||
 * Instructional Objective(s): ** Students will measure items within their homes and classmates will find the area of those items. Students will then create a bar graph to represent the measurements. ||
 * Before-Class Preparation: ** Make sure students are enrolled in our VoiceThread class so they can upload their documents and create their VoiceThread. ||

 * Ongoing Assessment: ** Students will be assessed at two points in this project. I will review students’ VoiceThreads to determine if students correctly determined the area from the given measurements. Students will also be assessed in creating the bar graph.

 * Accommodations and Extensions: ** Students can choose to create their bar graphs using Excel instead of drawing them by hand. Student accommodations in IEPs will be followed. ||
 * Lesson Reflections and Notes: ** Students can practice measuring other objects and finding their areas. Students can practice creating bar graphs from other data. ||
