*Social Studies:
 * Title: Different Types of Terrain
 * Subject: Social Studies - Geography
 * Author: Ms. Cabrera
 * Grade Level: 3rd grade


 * Overview: This lesson plan is intended to teach the students about the different terrains in the world. Through this lesson, they will understand the geography in the world.


 * Objectives: The students will be able to recognize different terrains and their location. They will discover what inhabits each terrain. They will be able to understand the geography of the world.


 * Materials Needed: Smartboard (provided in classroom), Powerpoint (to create presentation), and Internet access.


 * Activities and Procedures: Students will view a Powerpoint presentation I have prepared on the Smartboard in class. After viewing the different types of terrain, they will select one terrain. With the terrain they have chosen, they will find a picture and a description of the terrain. In the description, they will discover where the terrain can be found in the world and what typically inhabits this terrain.


 * Assessment: They will have to have a proper picture using the correct terrain, matching the terrain they chose. Their description should include the locations in the world in which the terrains are present (correctly). Their description should also include what typically inhabits the terrain.


 * Benchmark: SS.3.G.3.1


 * Math:
 * Title: Multiplication and Division
 * Subject: Math
 * Author: Ms. Cabrera
 * Grade Level: 3rd grade


 * Objectives: The students will not only be able to multiple and divide, but they will be able to apply the new material in real life situations. Examples of real life situations are displayed in the interactive quiz.


 * Materials Needed: Computer and Powerpoint access.


 * Activities and Procedures: The students will learn multiplication and division through repeated addition, multiplicative comparison, array, combination, measurement, and proportion in class and then take an interactive quiz on the computer at the end of the lesson.


 * Assessment: The students will take an interactive quiz (created on Powerpoint) consisting of 6 questions of multiplication and division.


 * Benchmark: MA.3.A.1.1
