Lesson Plan-Daily Math Lesson

Teacher’s Name Professor Allen

Date of Lesson 14-02-2022

Time of Lesson 10:05 a.m.

Subject The concept is Single subjected; Observation.

Factors that can affect what you can teach

The first factor is class size. The classroom is small, which makes it very convenient to teach the subject. The small class size will help increase student engagement and make them have a higher ability to adapt to educational and intellectual challenges that they will likely face. The next factor is time. Over the years, it has been deduced that the time of the day significantly impacts students' achievement. The selected time is suitable as it matches their scores and learning style preferences. The other factor is space. Students will be placed at a safe distance from one another to ensure they are in a tidy and clean environment, which will make them more focused and have motivation towards the lesson.

Class Demographics

There are 402 students. Their average age is six years. There are a total of 218 girls and 184 boys. On average, the economic status of the students in the middle.

The ability levels of the students are as follows: visual learners, auditory learners, writing learners, and kinesthetic learners.

The school setting is learner-centered. This is the case since the learning institution assesses students' needs, for instance, allowing students to create their own meaning according to the previous knowledge.

A brief summary of the schedule is 8:20-9:00 as arrival time, 9:25 clean up, 10:00 – 10:45 math talk, and 10:45 to 11:00, individual/partner work, 11:15 dismissal.

The teachers' qualities include love for their work, creativity, flexibility, patience, sense of humor, and compassion.

Three potential advantages to teaching this mix of students.

In this environment, teachers mix students with mixed abilities, which allows them to learn and accept their differences. A teacher will have an easy time placing the students into discussion groups or engaging the class in the discussion because each student has their own perspective on things. The high-level students can assist lower-level learners by encouraging and modeling them.

Two potential challenges to teaching this mix of students.

Teachers face the challenge of teaching effectively because they will be required to know every student's ability and identify a suitable way of teaching them.

It is possible that teachers may feel out of touch with the learners when they post negatively unintended outcomes.

Scope

● The time to teach this lesson.

● Classroom resources

● How this lesson plan fits into either a single-subject curriculum or connects as an interdisciplinary plan

1. The lesson will be taught at 10:05 a.m. Usually, students tend to be better focused on learning at this time of the day. This is normally the time when many institutions give important learning tasks. This is also the time when many institutions issue significant tests to their kindergarten learners.

2. The classroom resource will be a science lab where they will have access to scientific tools to help them during the scientific inquiry process; this is, observing, measuring, and recording their outcomes. Examples of the scientific tools required are the thermometer, magnifying scale, and measuring tape.

3. The lesson plan fits into an interdisciplinary plan. The lesson plan combines lessons in different disciplines around one theme. Different ideas related to a common theme are assimilated, and they are then taught to students.

Measurable Objectives

Preparing students for testing. The Common Core Standards require that students go through testing. The first way to achieve this will be through developing games that incorporate questions such as introducing escape rooms.

Accordingly, I will help students develop test-taking skills by asking them to support their ideas with examples from the text.

The next objective will be aligning practices with The Common Core Standards.

I will embrace particular habits such as using TeacherStep that illustrates these requirements. In this regard, the traditional lecture format will be eliminated to give the learners more chance to collaborate as outlined in the Common Core Standards.

Perceiving standards as opportunities. It is very hard for teachers to teach according to the standards because they seem limiting. However, with the help of this objective, the teaching standards will be used as guidelines and tools to assist them in narrowing down what they are expected to teach. Following this, a new curriculum, instructions, and assessment plan that meets the standards and includes students will be introduced.

Methodology for Measuring Learning

Studio portfolios; how students put their knowledge to work, and their performance can tell a lot about authentic learning.

Students will develop their portfolios which will be assessed to show clear patterns of their growth and performance. Throughout the process of creating portfolios, their goals will be reflected, and they will get the opportunity to participate in some degree of self-assessment. Afterward, students will be required to make presentations, where they will discuss their work and validate their ideas in front of an audience. It will also show how well the students know how to use school facilities and tools such as sticky notes and slides. The learners can submit copies of the slides and other materials for review.

Finally, learners will be given memos to gather data and apply their imagination to weave texts from various perspectives. The memos will be created by editing them to include a

description of the memo context, and learners will write in them and submit them when they finish.

Technology Integration

Interactive whiteboards: An interactive whiteboard is similar to a touchscreen whiteboard that can show images and videos. They are effective tools for engaging every student in an interactive lesson.

Digital presentations: The teacher and students can use tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint to develop multimedia presentations; they can also be used to share the work of students. The school can also encourage students to use Google Docs to collaborate on one multimedia project even when they are at home.

Online research: The teacher will give the students an opportunity to carry out online research for their projects. Here, teachers can introduce students to the Web Quest Model, which has an unlimited number of activities for students.

The use of technology will encourage the students to work as a team as well as enable them to learn even when they are not in school.

It can also enable swift and easy sharing of information, which will help save more time for more learning in the long run.

Should the technology be unavailable during teaching time, I will have other copies of the data. My backup plan is the 3-2-1 rule; three data copies, stored in two storage devices, and one remotely located, i.e., inside my phone.
