Minds On: - Begin the lesson by reviewing counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s with the students. - Ask the students to share different strategies they use to count to 50 using these different intervals. - Discuss the importance of being able to count by different intervals and how it can be helpful in everyday life.

Activity (Working On It): - Introduce the Magic Bead Necklace Challenge to the students. - Provide each student with a string and 70 beads of various colors. - Instruct the students to create a necklace using all 70 beads, making sure that every 10th bead is white. - Encourage the students to use different strategies to count the beads and ensure they are following the instructions correctly. - Circulate the classroom to provide support and guidance as needed.

Consolidation: - Once the students have completed their necklaces, gather them together for a discussion. - Ask the students to share their strategies for counting the beads and ensuring every 10th bead is white. - Discuss any challenges or successes they experienced during the activity. - Emphasize the importance of using different tools and strategies to solve problems.

Learning Goals and Success Criteria: - Learning Goal: Students will be able to count to 50 by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s using a variety of tools and strategies. - Success Criteria: Students will successfully create a necklace with 70 beads, ensuring every 10th bead is white. They will also be able to explain their strategies for counting the beads.

Questioning: - What strategies did you use to count the beads and ensure every 10th bead is white? - How did you decide which color bead to use for the 10th bead? - Why is it important to be able to count by different intervals?

Assessment: - Observe the students during the activity to assess their understanding of counting by different intervals and their ability to follow instructions. - Use questioning to assess their ability to explain their strategies for counting the beads. - Assess the completed necklaces to ensure every 10th bead is white.

Differentiation: - Provide guided reading support for students who may need extra assistance during independent reading. - Pair students who may need additional support with peers who can provide guidance and support. - Offer different levels of challenge for the Magic Bead Necklace Challenge, such as using a different number of beads or counting by different intervals.

Modifications: - Provide visual aids or manipulatives for students who may struggle with counting by different intervals. - Break down the instructions for the Magic Bead Necklace Challenge into smaller steps for students who may need extra support.

Extensions: - Challenge advanced students to create a necklace with a different number of beads or using a different counting interval. - Have students create a pattern with their beads instead of just using different colors.

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization: - Ensure that the materials and resources used in the lesson plan are inclusive and representative of diverse cultures and backgrounds. - Incorporate Indigenous perspectives and teachings into the lesson, such as using Indigenous beadwork as inspiration for the Magic Bead Necklace Challenge.

Materials: - Strings - Beads of various colors - Base ten blocks - “The Night Santa Got Lost” book

Prior Learning: - Students should have prior knowledge of counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s.
