Standards-Based SIOP Lesson Plan: Mathematics Content
This lesson plan was designed for a hypothetical ELL population and was created during the E526 TEFL/TESL Methodology course. Because I come from an elementary education background and find teaching math to be particularly challenging, I chose to design this lesson for a mixed proficiency public school 5th grade class in the United States. In my experience, the average 5th grade public school population of students within this community is highly diverse, representing a variety of L1 backgrounds (Spanish, Chinese, Somali, Korean, Arabic, etc.) and proficiency levels (native English speakers to no knowledge of English). I chose to do an integrated content lesson because I think it is important to be able to collaborate with general education teachers so that ELLs do not fall behind in content as a result of their language learning.
This lesson plan follows the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model, a highly used tool by both TESL/TEFL and general education classroom teachers. This lesson plan shows that I can present new subject content to a variety of students in a comprehensible and integrative way.

The Context of the Lesson
Students have the mathematical background knowledge of dividing whole numbers already. This lesson would be the first in a series that teaches fractions. The general goal of this lesson is for students to understand that fractions aren’t an obscure "school only" concept, but that they have a real-world application, i.e., the numbers in their books can represent things in their daily lives. The lesson is also designed to be very hands-on and social in order to assist students with a lower language and/or content proficiency. The time would be about 60 minutes, though this is flexible since in an actual elementary class the teacher can usually extend a lesson if needed.
