BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT
Part 1: Lesson Plan (Math)
Section 1: Lesson Preparation
Teacher Candidate
Name:
Jennifer Williams
Grade Level: 3rd Grade
Date: March 5, 2019
Unit/Subject: Math
Instructional Plan
Title:
Determining elapsed time using a number line
Lesson Summary and
Focus:
This lesson will focus on the students’ ability to tell how much time has
elapsed. They will use a number line to determine how much time.
Classroom and
Student
Factors/Grouping:
4 ELL students
4 students learning disabled
6 students performing below grade level in math
The students that are below grade level and have a learning disability will
allow me to plan the lesson with different methods and help me to focus
on what each student needs to focus on. With assessments the students
will be able to show where they fall on the learning curve and what they
understand.
National/State
Learning Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.A.1
Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in
minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time
intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line
diagram.
Specific Learning
Target(s)/Objectives:
The students will be able to determine the amount of time that has elapsed
between two times shown on an analog clock, on a digital clock, and in
the form of a word problem.
Academic Language - Hour

Resources, Materials,
Equipment, and
Technology:
Large clock for the teacher and individual card stock clocks for the
students, one clock per student for instruction.
Clock worksheet with number line.

BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT
Anticipatory Set
- I will ask the students to think about what time they woke up. Then have them
look at the current time and determine how much time has elapsed. They will
share their findings with their partner.
- I will then ask them to determine how much time until recess, lunch, and the end
of the school day.
- We discuss how understanding how much time has elapsed can make planning
easier.
Time
Needed
10 min
Multiple Means of Representation
- I will use an anchor chart to explain how to determine time elapsed with a
number chart.
- I will give an example using the time I woke up to the current time allowing the
students to follow along and create the chart in their math notebooks.
