Observation Task 10: Integrated subject areas

Focus: Integration
Procedure:
1. Ask your MST which e.g. maths and/or science concepts the children are learning at the
moment.
2. Find out how she helps them to understand these ideas.
3. Ask about how language is part of this learning. Record the activities and language used
for the math and science concepts on the table below.
4. Get a sample of any documentation of the science or maths curriculum you can add this
to your TP portfolio (ADEC Lesson Plan, teacher’s lesson plan, etc.)
5. Observe a math or science lesson and notice student participation (for reflection).
For example:

numbers

Pets and non-pets Differentiate between Rabbit – Lion

 Were students using the new math or science language in English? In Arabic?
