Grade Level: 3rd Graders No. of students 16 Date of lesson:
Length of lesson: 45 Minutes
Learning Goal(s)/Objective(s) and Content Focus:
Learning Goals:
To help students understand and fluently apply strategies for three-digit subtraction using regrouping
with base-10 blocks. Students will develop their mathematical reasoning and communication skills by
solving subtraction problems both independently and collaboratively.
Content Standard(s):
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms
based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and
subtraction.
Student Learning Objective(s):
1. Content Objectives:
 Students will use base-10 blocks to solve three-digit subtraction problems that require
regrouping.
 Students will identify when regrouping is necessary and articulate the steps involved in
the regrouping process.
 Students will solve subtraction problems with up to three-digit numbers and
demonstrate their understanding by completing the "Marble Madness" worksheet.
2. Language Objectives:
 Students will verbally explain their reasoning and strategies for solving subtraction
problems.
 Students will accurately use subtraction-related vocabulary, including "regrouping,"
"base-10 blocks," "hundreds," "tens," and "ones."
UDL Adaptations:
1. Tyler:
 Multiple Means of Action & Expression: Allow Tyler to engage verbally in group work
instead of writing responses. Provide additional time to complete individual tasks and
use assistive technology tools for written assignments.
 Multiple Means of Engagement: Position Tyler in a quieter, low-distraction area with
clear visual cues to maintain focus. Provide regular verbal prompts to encourage
participation.
