4. Process 1.Explain that an even number of objects can be grouped into pairs without any left over. 2.Use an overheard projector to show the students an even number (this way its large enough that everyone sees) and ask a volunteer to read it aloud. 3.Have the children use connecting cubes to model that even number. 4.Have then snap their cubes into pairs to check their work themselves. 5.Repeat the procedure with more even number.

6. Conclusion This was a fun math activity that allowed the student to explore even numbers with concrete objects. They were able to use colorful connecting cubes to show their understanding of even numbers and pairs.

7. Teacher’s Resource Page Modification Plan- One way to differentiate learning for ESOL, gifted, or IEP students is to have the students work in group oppose to working individually. It will help other students stay on task and the students can practice peer teaching Connecting cubes- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle- url/index=blended&field-keywords=linking%20cubes&results- process=default&dispatch=search/ref=pd_sl_aw_tops- 1_blended_25137591_1&results-process=default Content Standards- http://cnets.iste.org/Students/s_book.html http://cnets.iste.org/Students/s_book.html Technology Standards- http://cnets.iste.org/Students/s_stands.html http://cnets.iste.org/Students/s_stands.html IntroductionIntroduction Tasks Essential Questions Process Evaluation Rubric ConclusionTasksEssential Questions Process Evaluation Rubric Conclusion
