ELELEMENTARY SCHOOL LESSON PLAN

(Adapted from Madeline Hunters Research)

Student Name: Tonika Dunn Date:

Grade: 1 / 2 Split

Unit/Subject:

Math: Bar Graphs

Materials:

(List the materials needed for - Linking cubes

this lesson) - Math books
- Pencils
- Colored pencils

Objectives:

(What the students should - demonstrate an ability to organize objects

into categories by sorting and classifying
learn/accomplish/master/unders objects using one attribute (e.g., colour,
tand as a result of the lesson) size), and by describing informal sorting
experiences

Anticipatory Set:

(In what way will you activate - the children will be reminded of their
their prior knowledge and previous knowledge in sorting by
experience to help them relate different attributes: colour, shape,
to todays lesson?) etc.
Teaching:

(Step by step discussion for how

the lesson will be taught)

Instructional Input:
Modelling:
What knowledge will you
On the board I will draw different coloured
communicate to the students so
cubes and a graph.
that they understand the
objective of the lesson (film,
tape, video, pictures, etc)
Guided Practice:
Guided Practice:
As a class we will group the cubes by colour
What activities will the students and draw the correct amount onto the graph
perform under your supervision on the board.
to ensure that they are able to
practice the material/concepts
taught in the lesson?

How will you support students

when errors are made?

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)

Checking for Understanding:

How will you check that the

students have
understood/learned the
objectives?
Questioning Strategies:
What types of questions might
you ask to probe for higher level
thinking?
Questioning Strategies:
Throughout the lesson I will ask the children
these questions to ensure they understand:
- how many blocks of this colour do I
have?
- To what number do I need to shade
my bar graph to?

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:
I will then ask the students to transfer the
example on the board into their math books,
and prepare for their next instructions.

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
Independent Practice: The children will be working on their own
graphs where they will be getting blocks on
List homework or seatwork
their desks. From there, they will sort the
assignments the students will be
cubes by colour and graph them into their
expected to complete in order to
books.
practice the material/skill
without teacher supervision

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?
