ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LESSON PLAN

(Adapted from Madeline Hunters Research)

Student Name: Alessia Canosa Date: February 2, 2017 Age Group: 6 - 7

years old
Grade: Grade 1
Unit/Subject: Data Management and Probability - Math
Materials: (List the materials needed for this lesson)
- White Board - Glue
- White Board Projector - Scissors
- Handout (Ice Cream - Pencil
Graphing) - Privacy Screens
- Construction paper
- Objectives: (What the students
should/learn/accomplish/master/understand as a result of the lesson)
- The students will begin to learn how to collect and organize primary
data with assistance and as a group. The students will begin to
demonstrate how to create a bar graph on their own. The children will
begin to interpret the data on pictographs on their own. The students
will continue to demonstrate their ability to follow instructions.
- Anticipatory Set: (In what way will you activate their prior knowledge
and experience to help them relate to todays lesson?)
- I will ask the students if they remember what we learned earlier in the
week.
- I will ask them questions such as: (for a memory refresh)
o What kind of graphs have we learned about?
o How do we know which has less or more on the graph?.
- Teaching: (Step by step discussion for how the lesson will be taught)
- Instructional Input:
- What knowledge will you communicate to the students so that they
understand the objective of the lesson (film, tape, video, pictures, etc.)
- I will tell the children we are creating a bar graph on our own. I will
introduce the subject of the pictograph by showing the students the
handout to be completed. They will be required to get a privacy screen,
to prevent copying of other students work.
- Guided Practise:
- What activities will the students perform under your supervision to
ensure that they are able to practise the material/concepts taught in
the lesson? How will you support students when errors are made?
- As a group the students will begin to complete the handout with
minimal assistance.
- Modeling:
- How will you demonstrate the skill or competence so the student will
also be able to do it? (Use of materials to show students examples of
what is expected as a final product of their work)
- I will model the expectation of the activity by going step by step with
the students, modelling, explaining, and answering questions from the
students.
1. Write name on construction paper
2. Cut out the graph and glue it to the construction paper
3. Cut out and glue the ice creams where they belong on the graph
4. Answer questions one at a time
- Checking for Understanding:
- How will you check that the students have understood/learned the
objectives?
- I will ask the students questions related to the graphs created. It is a
handout that will be completed individually, I will be checking for
following of instructions as well as comprehension of handout.
- Questioning Strategies:
- What types of questions might you ask to probe higher level thinking?
- I will ask students how else might they be able to record this type of
data, and what they think about using bar graphs.
- Closure:
- Develop a statement that brings the lesson to an appropriate
conclusion. A statement of closure is the act of reviewing and clarifying
the key points of a lesson. It is used to:
1. Cue students to the fact that they are at the end of the lesson
2. Help organize student learning
3. Help students form a clearer picture of what the lesson is all about
- I will close the lesson by having children think of ideas for when they
might ever use a bar graph in real life.
- The children will discuss which idea they think is best.
- Independent Practice:
- List homework or seatwork assignments the students will be expected
to complete in order to practice the material/skill without teacher
supervision
- As each student completes their work, they will approach me and I will
give them feedback on their individual bar graphs.
- Reflection:
- What went well? Provide examples for how you know it went well.
- What didnt go well? Provide examples for how you know it didnt go
well
- What did you learn?
- What might you do differently next time you implement this same
experience and why?
- Did you have to make any adaptations or modifications? If so, what
were they?
- What type of experience might you plan to extend on this one?
