Instructional Planning for Young Children

Task:
Instructional strategies are the heart of learning. Instructional strategies are the activities that are modeled, practiced, and then completed independently in various learning opportunities. As soon as an alignment between what will be measured and how it will be measured is defined, instructional strategies are considered.
For this assignment, you will be developing instructional strategies for the standards and objectives you created in Topic 2. Using the “Instructional Design Topic 3: Instructional Strategies” section of the "Instructional Design Unit" template, develop instructional strategies and assessments for one standard and one objective in each grade band (birth to pre-K and kindergarten to grade 3). Include the following in your template:
Standards (one for birth to pre-K and one for K-grade 3)
Objectives (one for each standard)
Developmentally appropriate instructional strategies for each standard including, modeling, guided practice, and independent practice
Developmentally appropriate instructional strategies for each standard including, modeling, guided practice, and independent practice
describe the importance of modeling and guided practice for supporting instruction. How do they provide an informal check for understanding and allow for modifications during instruction?

Assessment:
Provide the child with a simple mathematical equation (5 x 40). Allow the child to divide the equation into simpler components:
5 x (4 x 10).
Allow the child to sort the single digit numbers together:
(5 x 4) x 10.
Answer the question by multiplying the single
