LESSON PLAN

The following is a sample of the Lesson Plan format used by the University.
Lesson Topic/Focus:

Check-up test

Date:

25/11/2014

AusVELS Domain(s):

Mathematics

Year level(s):

AusVELS strand (s):

Discipline Based Learning

L e s s o n 60 minutes
duration:

AusVELS sub-strand(s):

Measurement and Geometry

AusVELS Dimension(s)
or Religious Education
Guideline:
Learning Standard(s)/Outcome(s):
For students to check their understanding in regards to measurement and
geometry.
Assessment:
o

Stepping stones assessment check up

Collecting work samples

Assessment criteria for analysis:

o

Formal division algorithms

Word problems

Relationship between litres and millilitres

Draw all reflection lines/turning positions

Enlarging and reducing shapes

- Using the stepping stones

assessment check up, students
are to complete this test.
- Summative assessment as it is
done at the completion of the
unit (chapter in the text)
- Collect work samples at
completion of test to collate how
students have gone and any
misconceptions they may still
have.

Set assessment criteria/success criteria at

the beginning
Ensures students know what areas of
mathematics they need to complete in order

Teaching focus:
A.
The pre-service teacher's teaching skill for observation by Associate Teacher:
o Clear and concise directions
o Set clear expectations
B.

Teaching skills that the pre-service teacher would like to personally develop.
o Providing clear expectations and directions

Background to the learning:

A.
References for teacher background knowledge
o Stepping stones resource book
B.

Identify students current knowledge

o Relationship between litres and millilitres
o Performing formal division algorithms
o Enlarging and reducing shape
o Solving word problems

Lesson resources:

List the resources, materials, equipment and titles of books used in the presentation of the lesson/
activity. Present a summary of your whiteboard or overhead presentation or attach to the back page of
your lesson plan a sample of your handouts where appropriate.
o Stepping stones resource book
o Laptops
Lesson content:
A.
Introduction
10 mins
Motivation and tuning in strategies to revise current knowledge, to gain insights into
what the students already understand, to engage the students or to introduce n e w
learning; list the key questions to use
Revise formal division algorithms
o Who can tell me how you set out a formal division
algorithm?
o Who can tell me how you solve a formal division
algorithm?
Revise litres- millilitres
o How many millilitres in 1 litre?
B.
mins

Development

- Revise areas
of difficulties
for many
students

Explore/elaborate/restructure/develop the concepts, understandings, skills or attitudes;

teaching and learning strategies that will be used to achieve this; summarise (list instructions)
approaches or activities to be used; list the key questions to use
Work through check-up test, reading out each question
o Make sure you read each question carefully, in particular the word problems

C.

Consolidation, practice, extension

30 mins
Assign work tasks, which apply the concepts, skills, understanding and/or attitudes; ways of
extending the learning of ideas/understandings; ways of scaffolding learning for students who
require extra assistance
Children work independently to work through the check-up test
Once children have finished the test, they can get a laptop and play mathematics
games.

D.

Closure
10 mins
Summarise the key issues in the lesson; list the strategies employed to determine what the
students have learnt; questions that will be posed to support the students reflection on
learning
Revise check-up answers
o What is something you found hard today?
o Is there anything you know you need to continue to practice and work on?

Lesson/activity transition:
This is the activity required to terminate the first lesson/activity and to initiate the next lesson/activity. A
lesson/activity transition is not to be confused with a lesson/activity conclusion.
Step 1: Pack away laptops, books and materials to original position
Step 2: Return to classrooms
Step 3: Get books out ready for next lesson
