Activity Plan

NWTC Student Name:

Katy DeBroux

Date: 11/3/14

Learning Experience/Activity Title and Explain Activity Briefly:

Mine craft Arrays:

Student will use characters from Mine craft to develop arrays with Legos
Setting: (Where will this activity take place?)

Special Education Classroom

Materials for Activity:

Square Lego blocks
Lego Mat
Mine craft Character Cards
Whiteboard and marker with number sentence model.

Learning Objective (Why are you doing this activity?)

Goal:

To organizing objects into equal groups to develop a multiplication sentence to determine

the total amount of objects altogether.

Behavioral/Learning Objectives: (What will the child or children do during this activity
to meet the goal?)
Procedure: (This should read like a recipe listing everything you and the children will
do.)
I will begin the activity by showing the different Mine character cards and discussing
how each one has a certain number of Legos in it.
I will ask the child to count out the number of Legos needed to build the character on
the card.
The child will count out appropriate amount of Legos
I will ask the child to build the character on the mat to duplicate the card shown.
The child will use the Lego mat to place Legos in an array to duplicate picture shown on
card.
Once the character is built, I will explain that rows go across the grid. I will ask the
child to count the number of rows and then I will write it on the whiteboard in the
Revised 5-30-12

appropriate section of the number sentence model.

I will ask the child to count the number of Legos in one row. I will then write it on the
whiteboard in the appropriate section of the number sentence model.
Example: ______(Rows) X _______(Legos Per Row) = __________
I will ask the child to count the total number of Lego pieces on the mat and write the
amount in the appropriate section of the number model sentence.
Discussion Topics to Use When Facilitating the Activity:
How to make a multiplication number sentences.
How to group Legos into equal groups to show how we multiply groups
Closure/Transition: When the activity is done, how will you finish it? What will you do
our say to end the lesson so you know if the children understood the lesson or the
concepts you presented to them.
I will ask the child if he can make his own array on the Lego mat and tell me the number
sentence model.

Evaluation: How will you know that what you did worked or whether or not your plan
worked? This should relate to the goal.
The child will be able to place Legos in equal groups to make an array, and then determine
how the correct number model sentence would be writing.
