Objectives/Outcomes
(Indicate GCO and SCO) (Indicate SCO in student friendly language) |
|
GCO:
Number (N): Develop number sense. SCO:
N1: Say the number sequence by 1s starting anywhere from 1 to 10 and from 10
to 1. SFL:
I can count by 1s starting anywhere from 1 to 10 and 10 to 1. |

Introduction |
|
Attention-getter
(30 seconds): When you are ready to begin, flick the lights on and
off to get the student's attention. Hook
(2:30 mins): Point
to the monthly calendar and say “It is time for our monthly calendar. Today
is September 18th/2023”. Bring students to sit on the floor in front
of the calendar and ask: ·
Does anyone remember what day Friday was? ·
Who would like to come up and count the
days, starting at the beginning of the month, with me? ·
What number comes before 18? ·
What number comes after 18? ·
Who would like to come up and count the
days, backwards from 18, with me? APK
(3 mins): Use
the caterpillar on the wall to assess students’ prior knowledge. Point to the
Caterpillar and say, “Let’s look at our caterpillar.” Working together as a group, ask students
to count with you: ·
from 1 to 18 on the caterpillar ·
from 18 to 1 on the caterpillar To
wrap up, ask students to get into their rocket ship positions. You can remind
them how to get into this position by crouching down with your hands by your
sides and reminding them that you will all count down from 10 together and
then stand up using their loud voices to “blast off”. |

Assessment
|
|
We
will use formative assessment throughout the lesson to check for
understanding and learning using discussion, questions, and observation. Summative
assessment will be used near the end of the lesson to check if students have
drawn clear images with the correct number of dots and can count the dots
when asked. Discussion/Questions:
during calendar exercise, dot exercise and at closure. Observation:
During apple tree/apple and bead/pipe cleaner activities the teacher will be
sitting observing as the students count. The teacher will move around the
classroom during the drawing activity and look individually at each student's
work. |

Develop
the Instruction |
|
Today
we will be doing 3 activities that involve counting from 1 to 10 and from 10 to
1. The materials needed for the activities
are in a blue bin on my desk. You will also find a white box full of name
tags for students to wear in the bottom right drawer of the desk.
The
teacher will set up the apple tree/apples and have the beads and pipe
cleaners ready to pass out as well. ·
Apple tree/ apples Activity (5 mins)- Use
the link below for the virtual dice (use the option for 2 dice so that you
can roll up to the number 12). Place the corresponding number of apples on
the tree and ask students to count together with you as you put them on the
tree. As you remove the apples, ask the class to work together to help you
count backwards. Repeat activity 3 times. ·
Fine motor skill bead threading on pipe
cleaner (5 mins)- Ask 3 volunteers to come up to the front of the class for
this exercise. Roll the virtual dice (use the option for 2 dice so that you
can roll up to the number 12). Ask students to thread the corresponding
amounts of beads onto the pipe cleaner. The whole class can work together to
count with the students. Ask students to remove the beads and ask the class
to help count backwards together as they remove them. Repeat activity 2 times
with different volunteers each time. · https://www.classtools.net/dice/ ·
10 Black dots activity (13 minutes)- Ask
students the following questions: ·
“Could you use a dot to
draw a circle”? *Draw a dot on the board* ·
“Does this look like a circle”? ·
“If you were drawing a picture of a cat,
how many dots would you use to draw the eyes on its face”? *Draw cat face
with 2 dot eyes* ·
“Can you use dots to draw a shape”? *Use
dots to draw a triangle* ·
“Let’s watch this quick video to see what
else we can draw with dots” (see link to video below) ·
Video: 10 Black Dots - Donald
Crews - (3:09 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4PGv09T4qc · Instruct
students to take out a piece of paper and a pencil. Ask them to create as
many different pictures with dots as they can in the time allotted. As they
draw, walk around the classroom to observe student’s progress, and ask
questions to check for understanding. *Give students a one-minute warning
to finish their pictures*. |

|
Closure |
|
What,
Why, and What next? (2 mins) Facilitate
a discussion by asking: ·
“What did we learn today”? ·
“Why is it important to know how to count
from 1 to 10 and how to count backwards from 10 to 1”? ·
“What do you think we could be learning
next”? |

Reflection
1.
As I reflect on the lesson, to what extent
were students productively engaged?
2.
Did the students learn what I intended? Were
my instructional goals met? How do I know, or how and when will I know?
(Components 1f and 4a)
3.
Did I alter my goals or instructional plan as
I taught the lesson? Why? (Components 1e and 3e)
4.
If I had the opportunity to teach this lesson
again to this group of students, what would I do differently? Why? (Component
4a)
