Lesson Plans

 Teaching/ Instructional Model: Deductive

Domain: Measuring Length

Unit: 1

Lesson description: Measuring Length in meter and centimeter.

Grade level: 2

Subject: Math

Duration: 40 minutes

Aim:  Compare order and estimate the length of objects in real life

Competencies

•    To know how to estimate, compare and measure objects

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson the student will be able to:

• Use the ruler correctly beginning from 0. (Application)

• Identify the units of measurement with 80 % accuracy. (Analysis)

• Explain the connection between centimeter and meter with 70 % accuracy. (Comprehension)

• Determine the length of each object without measuring with 80% accuracy. (Evaluation)

 • Use distinctive tools to measure with 90 % accuracy. (Application)

Materials:

       Cards of different lengths.

       Meter; Ruler (big ruler).

       Cards with length written in m and cm.

       Cards with length written in cm.

       Erasers; attach; Lego blocks.

       Math Book

Vocabulary:

Measure; meter (m); centimeter(cm); unit; length; height;

Prerequisite knowledge:

•    Students know how to use the ruler to underline and to join points.

•    Students differentiate between longer and shorter.

Procedure (30 minutes):

Activity 1:

The teacher will start her session by greeting her students and then she will start explaining the strategies of the card game: 

•    Ask a student to use his/her ruler and measure the length of his/her eraser.

•    Ask a student to use his/her ruler and measure the length of his/her pencil.

•    Of course, we will get different answers then I’ll ask a student why?

•    The answer will be for we’re using materials of different lengths.

Activity 2:

•    The teacher will show 4 types of cards (big; small; medium; too small)

•    The teacher uses the first card to know how long the book is and write the answer; by this, the teacher explains what means measure and length.

•    The teacher uses the second card to know how long the book is and then writes the answer.

•    The teacher uses the third card to know how long the book is and write the answer

•    The teacher uses the fourth card to know how long the book is and write the answer

•    The teacher asks a student why we get different answers although we’re measuring the same object. The answer will be (because we are using big and small units).  

Activity 3:

The teacher will tell students a story:

•    Old people used to measure the length of any objects using a thread they don’t know what they have to call the measure so they decided to do something.

•    They started drawing dashes they reached 100 so they put them in a unit and called it a meter.

•    So, every object measure 100 they called it 1meter.

 

Application (10 minutes):

The teacher will ask students to:

1.     To read the instruction, and to explain it using their own words

2.     To pick the shortest tree and to explain his answer by comparing

Procedures (25 minutes):

Activity one:

The teacher displays a video on the board and divides the class into three groups by using the jigsaw method of teaching.

Each group consist of four students which are arranged as (Blue group, Red group, Yellow group)

Ask students first to watch the video below:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R50Xc1EUHwg

·       Assign a group leader

·       Divide the assignment up into sections that equal the number of students in each group

·       Give one student in each group the opportunity to write down the answers of the questions.

·       The teacher was preparing a list of 5 to 6 questions for each group.

·       List of the questions should be answered according to the video that they are already watched two times.

Teaching/ Instructional Model: Problem Based

Domain: Problem-solving

Unit: 1

Lesson description: Addition- Subtraction

Grade level: 2

Subject: Math

Duration: 40 minutes

Aim: 

·       To solve real-life problems.

Prerequisite knowledge:

Addition and Subtraction

Objectives:

•    Solve numbers corresponding to addition and subtraction situations. (Apply)

•    Identify different representations of a number. (Analysis)

Materials:

Lego parts, worksheet (quiz)

Vocabulary:

Addition, Subtraction, representation.

Procedure strategy:

Problem-solving:(20 minutes)

The teacher will ask their students to open the math book on page 16 number 1, then look at the picture that shows the game.

Then she asked them to read the rules of the game (if needed explain the game and the rules to the students)

First, we will show 6 Lego parts. On each Lego part, a number of simples is written so that to write an equation you have to use at least 5 parts for example 2+10=12 or 12-10=2.

Then ask a student to try to make a correct math equation using only these Lego parts for Ziad's result, keep asking different students until you get the four equations for Ziad.

Ask a student to try to make a correct math equation using only these Lego parts for Reem's result, keep asking different students until you get the four equations for Reem.

Ask a student to try to make a correct math equation using only these Lego parts for Yasmina's result, but here pay attention the combination of numbers picked by Yasmina does not give any correct math equation using only these Lego parts, discuss this conclusion with the students and support correct answers that lead to the fact family of numbers.

Activity two:(15 minutes)

The teacher asks the students to solve page 17 number 8 (15min)

Then she asks them to read the problem and be careful that the needed information to answer is present in the picture beside it,

Show the problem-solving steps

Ask a student to apply the first step: read the problem carefully and indicate the question

Ask a student to apply the second step: underline the needed information to answer the question

Ask a student to apply the third step: think of solving strategy

Ask a student to apply the fourth step: solve according to the solving strategy

Ask a student to apply the fifth step: Check if the answer is correct and answered the question.

Write the answers

And discuss the answers

Assessment:(10 minutes)

Drop quizzes will be distributed to the students during the session.

Solve each addition and subtraction then highlight the correct answer:



Correct answers:

1.     41+8=49

2.     67-15=52

3.     39-7=32

4.     44+20=64

5.     58+11=69

6.     49-8=41

7.     27-14=13

8.     25+32=57

Closure:

The teacher will assign 3 exercises from the book to solve at home.
