1. Grade one, Finding a Pattern 2. Explore the question, “Where was each elephant in the line?” -  Use background knowledge to figure out different strategies that will help them solve the problem. -  Select and use an appropriate strategy. -  Calculate a correct answer. -  Record and explain their strategy for solving their problem by writing a few sentences to report how they arrived at their solution. 3. I used this assessment to assess whether or not students sequence objects and put them in the correct order. I was also looking to see if students were able to sum up what they had done to reach their solution. In order to get a passing grade, students had to write at least 3 sentence which was 4/5.

4. The student work tells me that most of my students were able to understand the concept of sequencing and that most were able to write about what they had done, but some students had trouble. The observational checklist allowed me to analyze what students were doing throughout the lesson and if they were following directions.

5. See attachment.

6. For future class instruction I will provide more manipulative for the entire class, I found them to be very helpful to students. I will also continue to practice similar problems with students and provide help during their writing assignments, because that is what they did not do as well in. 7. Most students did very well in solving their problem and the only person I would really have to focus on is Stephen. He was not paying attention and did not complete the second part of the assignment, which was to write sentences.
