Transition 1: I will say that, now we will have
an activity to do it in a pairs. Please come and
set on the carpet I will explain that for you.
v. 2015-02-16 4
Kids will have a card bored that have
a fruits sticker on each cardboard
that’s have a different count of the
fruits the student should count them
and write the number down of the
cardboard and finally use the play
dough to write the number too.
The teacher will watch quietly while
they work and take notes about the
student’s work. For example Maryam
knows how count the fruits and Alia
need more help on this, Mohammed
and Rasheed know how to count the
numbers but Rasheed need more
exercise on writing the numbers.
Extra activity: (for students who
done the work quickly to have
something work on until other kids
done)
There will be cards with different
pictures and different numbers. At
the bottom of the card there will be
options for several numbers. The
student will count the pictures in the
card and choose the appropriate
number to put the clip on. For
example, there are p pictures of the
cat, and there are options from the
numbers 2, 3 and 4, and the student
 chooses the correct number, which is
3.

The teacher will explain the activity for the
kids then she will send them to their tables and
put them in group of 2 students.
Activity 1: (pares)
Closing activity: (group work)
The students will be in 4 groups each
group have 5 students. They will set
all on their tables. The teacher will
display a PowerPoint slides with
deferent numbers and photos. Each
slide will include a questions and she
will ask each groups to give answer.
If they give the correct answer they
will have a point and finally she will
see which group have more points to
be the winner. ( Teacher will use the
class dojo point)

There will be empty cupcake mould in each of

them, there is a number from 1 to 10 and there
are a large number of collared cottons that are
circular in shape, and finally, tongs to pick up
the cotton and put it in the cupcake mould.
The students should follow the number to
know how many cottons they need put inside
each one of the empty mould, for example
they will need only 1 cotton where they see
number 1 and 2 cottons where the number 2
and the same for all numbers.

The teacher will watch quietly while they work

and take notes about the student’s work. For
example Maryam knows the numbers well,
Aisha needs an additional review of No 6 and
9.

Extra activity: (for students who done the

work quickly to have something work on until
other kids done)

 The teacher will use class dojo to
give point to students when they

A large sheet of paper contains many different

small numbers inside a circle and one large
number, for example big number 1. Students
must write on the number and search for the
same number between the small other
numbers and colouring the circle.

The teacher will welcome the students to the transition song again and this is to
class and do the morning message to take the make the kids understand that
attendance by call the kids name and say good when you lesson to this music you
morning. For example, good morning Khaled and should come and set on the carpet.
Khaled answer good morning miss Iman.
Then I will ask them to set and be quiet. I will Activity 2: (groups)
Draw circles of two different sizes on the board.
Ask, “Which is bigger?” Have students turn and
talk to a partner about which circle is bigger. And
I will do the same by drawing deferent shapes big
and small and explain for them that the bigger
circle is bigger because it takes up more space.
Tell the class that they compared objects by
deciding which was bigger and which was smaller.
I will Say, “Big and small are opposites. When you
compare objects to decide which is bigger or
smaller, you think about how much space the
This activity is useful and fun for
objects take up.” Draw two stars of different sizes
students because it makes
and have students share which star they think is
students move and learn at the
smaller. Then I will draw four additional stars. Ask
same time and this improves
students which star they think is the biggest and
motor skills. I will put the
which star they think is the smallest.

Transition 1: I will open the transition song.
Which is a jazzy song that help teacher to get all
of the kids moving to the carpet for the activities.
Come to the carpet, use your walking feet
Come to the carpet, moving to the beat
Come to the carpet, careful not to shout
And don’t forget that when you sit to have a quiet
mouth.

Activity 1: (peers)
This hands-on activity is a fun way to help
children practice differentiating between big and
small. The students will set in their table in group
but each student will have his own materials to
work. There are two sets of sorting cards included
in this resource. The children will sort the cards
into big and small objects. One of the sorting
activity is a little more challenging. The children
will compare the size of three different objects
and then sort them by small, smaller, smallest or
big, bigger, biggest.

students in 4 groups each group
have 5 students. I will use a large
painting and draw two large
circles on it, after that I will stick
it on the wall to be ready for the
kids. I'll write big and small above
each circle. There will be a big
small and medium cotton.
Students choose the cotton and
put it in the circle that bears the
name of the correct size, for
example placing the small cotton
where the word small and the
medium one on the middle of tow
circle.
Extra activity: (for students who
done the work quickly to have
something work on until other
kids done)
The students will have a play
dough and they should make a big
and small deferent shapes.
Closing activity: (individual)
Extra activity: (for students who done the work
quickly to have something work on until other

I will ask the students to choose one of the card

photos and draw it in deferent size and when they
finish they can collared.

This activity will test students'

understanding of the lesson. Each
student will get a model from
different pictures. Each shape has
two sizes small and large. The
student must put a circle on the
desired shape, for example put a
circle on the larger animal.

 Part B: Rationale

The study of mathematics is very important in the scientific and practical life.
Therefore, teachers must focus on the method of teaching that helps students
in easy understanding and comprehension. In the math lessons that I prepared,
I focused on learning children to count from number 1 to 10 and the second
lesson was to teach children how to recognize and compare small and large
sizes.

I thought and researched a lot to get an interesting and varied lesson plan for
students. First, I focused on making the introduction very enthusiastic and
attracting students to the lesson, for example in the counting lesson, the
students listened to the number song and imitated movements as well , so here
I got an initial movement that makes the students more active with me as it
improves their motor skills. I also adopted in the introduction of the second
lesson in an attempt to stimulate the student’s thinking through drawing,
realistic tools, and asking questions. For example drawing shapes of different
sizes on the board and bringing tools of different sizes that the student touches
and compares them with other shapes in terms of size. This is also helps
students to use their sensory skills thr ough touch.

Teaching strategies is methods that teachers use to keep students engaged

and practicing different skills. Both of my lesson plan include deferent type of
activities that’s make kids want to learn more because they are enjoying the
work. First, Play-based learning and this is when they have the cubes to count
the numbers. It’s also links to prior learning while the students have a games
they already know about it but they will use it on a deferent way so it will be
fun and easy to learn. Second social interaction, According to Vygotsky “social
learning precedes development and stated: Every function in the child’s
cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on
the individual level.” Follow to this in my lesson plan I give the kids chance to
work by individual, peers and groups. Third, Reggio Emilia classrooms contain
experiences that appeal to all senses. I provided for children with various
activities that support the development of their sensory skills, such as
listening to music and touching objects. Fourthly, Observation which is one of
Montessori key principle that she used in her classroom and I do this by using
the checklist and note while kid’s doing their activates. Fifth, hands on
activity I was not satisfied with paper and writing activities only, but I also
provided items such as photo cards to paste and staples to choose the right
v. 2015-02-16 10
 photo. This is what I learned from some philosophers who encourage and
apply this type of education to develop the child's skills, such as Montessori.
Finally, transition strategy to switching from activity to other like telling the
students what we will do or have some fun by play song this is help not losing
time.

The difference in activities is very important for the student not to feel bored
and also for education to cover all levels. I tried to make each activity
different from the other to develop different skills for the child, for example,
movement activities for the whole body, activities that stimulate thinking,
and others to develop sensory skills and hand skills.

 My observations of the girls that I take the video with:
Rouda: She did reverse trends when writing numbers, for example when she
write number 5 and 6.

Hessa: She wants to do some things according to her desire, so I found

it difficult to direct instructions to her and implement them as required.
