Educators are shifting their  instructional practices to include constructivist strategies that  increase rigor in terms of critical thinking and problem-solving. The  intent of these strategies is to prepare students for college and  careers in the 21st century.

Research and provide the links for  two math lesson plans aligned to any two state math content standards  for any K-8 grade level. Select lesson plans that do not already use  constructivist strategies for teaching the math skills.

In 500-750 words, complete the “Mathematical Lesson Analysis Template” and for each lesson plan:

•  Identify components within the lesson plan that address the standards the lesson plan is aligned to.
• Describe one constructivist strategy that could be used within the lesson that involves critical thinking and problem-solving. 

Support your constructivist strategies with 1-2 scholarly resources.

In  the same document, beneath your lesson plan analyses, write a 250-500  word reflection on how you plan to incorporate the mathematical practice  standards and constructivism into your classroom.  Describe how you  plan to provide a rigorous experience for students to prepare them for  college and careers in the 21st century.

Prepare this assignment  according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the  Student Success Center. An abstract is/is not required.
