1. **Grade Level:** 2 2. **Objectives:** 3. **Assessment Criteria and Instrument:**
 * Content of Lesson:** Math- Predicting Area Using Non-Standard Units
 * Recognize the attributes of length and volume
 * Demonstrate how to predict and measure area using non-standard units
 * Predict and measure with multiple copies of units of the same size, such as cotton balls
 * Students will be assessed on their understanding of how to measure and predict the area of a region using non-standard units

4. **An analysis of the data:** Students appear to be comfortable making predictions. Almost all of the students were able to make accurate predictions. A few students had issues following the directions on the worksheet. 5. **Samples of Student Work:** See below 6. **Recommendations for future instruction for the entire class:** My only recommendation would be to review the directions of the worksheet with students. It is important for students to know that following directions is imperative. Rather than having students work alone, it might be more beneficial to place them in cooperative groups. 7. **Recommendations for future instruction for the students sampled:** High Performer Low Performer
 * I will use a worksheet asking students to predict how many cotton balls would be needed to fill each region displayed. (Fill-in-the-blank)
 * Tae Joon (high performer):** Student's predictions were accurate, however, he did not follow directions on worksheet. He was asked to write his prediction //**inside**// the shape. I would remind student that following directions is important.
 * Nick (low perfomer):** Student needs a review on making predictions. Perhaps I would have him construct a few of his own regions and glue cotton balls inside so he becomes more comfortable making predictions. Student did not follow directions on worksheet, so I would remind him of the importance of following directions.
