Mathematics Lesson Plan (Level 2) ==Lesson Plan== Level: Grade 1/2

__**VELS Area:**__ At Level 2, students make, describe and compare measurements of length, area, volume, mass and time using informal units. They recognise the differences between non-uniform measures, such as hand-spans, to measure length, and uniform measures, such as icy-pole sticks. They judge relative capacity of familiar objects and containers by eye and make informal comparisons of weight by hefting. They describe temperature using qualitative terms (for example, cold, warm, hot). Students use formal units such as hour and minute for time, litre for capacity and the standard units of metres, kilograms and seconds.

__**Learning Outcomes/Objectives:**__ For students to further their knowledge in length mesurment. Students will further their knowledge in measuring length by completing a set task that involves them to use strategies and numeracy skills. The students will use their prior knowledge to mesure certin objects in their school yard. Students will use their prior knowledge to solve the problem as well as assist other students learning by promoting strategic solutions. Students will use formal and informal tools for measuring the objects (see appendices).

__**Teacher Action:**__ To deliver sound, clear instructions, and provide students with examples of strategies to assist their learning when problem solving and measuring length. To encourage efficient learning and to assist students learning when needed. Apply instructive, complimentary verbal communication with students.

__**Resources:**__ 6 Flexi Meter long rulers, school objects (see appendices 1), smart board, pencil, table of objects (appendences)


 * ** Procedure ** || ** Student Action /Tasks ** || ** Teacher Action ** || ** Time ** ||
 * ** Introduction ** || Introduction game.

- Students participate in a quick recap of length lessons.

- Students will estimate how long certain objects in the room one at a time. Select individuals to participate.

- The students i choose will become the group leaders for the main activity.
 * meter ruler
 * measure tape
 * width of A3 paper
 * length of A3 paper
 * door
 * Wall to wall of room || -Make sure my lesson is organized before lesson.

-Keep students alert and enthusiastic making sure I use Students as examples of great listening and paying attention.

-Introduce students to main lesson. || 15mins ||
 * ** Main Activities ** || - Students learn about the width and the length of a rectangular object (smart board). Show them a rectangle and explain that the longer side is always the length and the thinner side is the width.

- Students further their knowledge about the width and the length of a rectangular object (smart board). Show them a rectangle and explain that the longer side is always the length and the thinner side is the width.( Recap)

- Students then receive a sheet with the objects (appendences 1) In their school yard that they are to measure in their groups.

- Students are to then break up into their 5 groups from last lesson.

- The students are to get their objects for their role in their group task.
 * Scribe
 * measurer
 * marker
 * estimator and counter

- Send students outside with a ruler to first estimate the objects, then they are to measure how the length and see how close they got. || Make sure everything that can be organized can be.

-Use crowd control methods to make addressing class simpler.

-Teacher focus are going great then walk around and help other groups whilst doing so I must keep praising and persistent with struggling students.

-Correct all groups work and make sure and unfinished work is used for home work.

-Use students who worked well for share time, make enthusiastic questions which bring the most out of students.

-Ask students what they did, what they did well and what they need improvement on. || 30mins ||
 * ** Conclusion ** || - Share Time reflection

- Students share results with class and discuss their interests and findings. || -Correct all groups work and make sure and unfinished work is used for home work.

-Use students who worked well for share time, make enthusiastic questions which bring the most out of students.

-Ask students what they did, what they did well and what they need improvement on. || 15mins ||
