In the article “Jump As Far As You Can”, readers are presented with an interactive lesson plan about measurement. The lesson plan starts by giving the students some background knowledge about the Olympic Games. The teacher will talk about how the Olympics has different sports and sometimes the sports are eliminated from the games. The students will be able to discuss what they know and what they have seen from the games. This will lead to the discussion about the standing jump and the different distances people can jump. The students will then be able to try a stand and jump themselves, and then measure out the distance in different measurements (i.e. cubes, feet and inches). At the end there was enrichment activities that students can participate …show more content…
The first standard that this lesson falls under is “2.MD.A.1: Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such a rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks and measuring tapes.” This framework fits with the lesson plan because the students will be measuring the distance they jumped. When the students do these measurements, they will be using rulers to measure their jumping distance. The framework states that the students need to use measuring tools to measure the length, which is why this lesson fits with this framework. The second framework standard that fits this lesson is “2.MD.A.2 Measure the length of an object twice, using length unites of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.” This fits the lesson plan because the students will be measuring their distance three different times. Each time the student measures the distance they will be using a different form of measurement (cubes, feet and inches). Because the students are doing the measurement multiple times with different forms of measurement, the standard fits the lesson plan. It is clear that both of these standards fits the lesson and has the students interacting with
To apply the second standard to my practice I have to make sure I ask questions about the work I am supposed to be doing with my students. Once I know what I am going to doing then, it is up to me to make sure that I know and understand what I am supposed to be teaching the students. To demonstrate that I am adhering to the standard, I have to take the time to plan out what I will be teaching the students and make sure that they are understanding what they are learning.
I did my observations in a first grade classroom at R. L Brown Elementary school. My supervising teacher had strict guidelines about the lesson that she was allowing me to teach. Because I was doing my observation so close to the end of the year, I could only teach during the science block. She allowed my to choose between two standards. The standard I choose was LAFS.1.RI.3.9 Id( Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same).I spent a lot of time doing my lesson plan called the and different, and I tried to plan for everything possible. To be honest my lesson went okay. It was the little things that caused the most problems. I learned that actual teaching is a complex profession. There are always a million
1.MD.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
[The formal and informal assessments in the learning segments provided direct evident throughout the learning segments as I was able to incorporate relevant and meaningful assessments with my students. In the first lesson, students will be assessed through an observation during the anticipatory activity. I will use a Smart Presentation in this lesson and have the students determine which items have the greatest/least quantity. I will collect the data using my clipboard. In learning experience 2, students will, again, be observed. I will use a checklist ensuring students are able to read quantities from left to right as well as being able to recognize the three key vocabulary terms for this unit –
In order for me to demonstrate understanding of this standard, I must consider the impact of the family and community on student learning, contribute to the overall development and improvement of the school, and work with other educators to share knowledge and improve practice. My artifact contributes to school initiatives, projects, and organizations teaching me how to teach and reach my ESL students through different strategies. The ESO training was beneficial for me to gain a deeper understanding of how important communication is when teaching others. I learned it is important to my lessons to include group work instead of individual work (and vice versa), evaluate students' performance on a test to decide whether to reteach the concept or move on to a new one. It is very important to collaborate with other teachers sharing fresh ideas and exchanging a variety of strategies to help relief the stress of math problems. The ESO training used everyday problems to solve math problems. Because we use math in our everyday life it is essential for me to keep my parents informed through emails and phone
Under each labeled item or on the back of each piece of the realia, was the correct height for each two- dimensional and three-dimensional item. When students completed their measurements, I shared the location of the answers. The self-assessment step allowed the students to validate their answers. Once a student checked their answers, they were able to share the instructions to check their activity document with other students. This collaboration was a domino effect with the classmates. They exhibited the thought that “research shows that pupil assessment can be more effective than traditional teacher-based marking. Pupils often listen more actively to the observations of learning partners and accord higher status to their evaluations (Retrieved from ttp://www.journeytoexcellence.org.uk/resourcesandcpd/research/summaries/rsassessment.asp).” I was able to see the students exhibit this behavior while they interacted with each other throughout this
So far in science, we have done the cups activity, the pink string activity, we took measurements with our group, and saving sammy. The cups activity is where we had string around a rubber band and each person pulled one string to stretch out. We then wrap the rubber band around cups and build a cup tower WITHOUT touching the rubber band or cups. The pink string activity is where you and a partner each have a pink string around your wrists and they are locked together but you can't take the string off your wrists to get out, you have to try to untangle them. We took measurements on many things including arm lengths, height, wingspan/armspan, and foot lengths. Saving Sammy
Throughout lab one we were introduced to many different forms of measurement, whether its using a ruler too measure length, a digital scale to measure weight, and also many different sized and shaped flasks to measure different volumes. Another key measurement of this lab was to teach the
In math, the standards that are addressed are measurement, numbers and counting, sorting and compare and contrast. In measurement, the students take part in an activity where they measure water and compare and contrast the difference in the amount of water used for each action. In numbers and counting, the students learn to count apples on trees, raindrops and snowflakes. One activity has students counting the number of coins used to make water overflow in a cup, and further explore volume in mathematics. For science, the standards addressed are using senses to
1. After reading The Reason I Jump now I can have a better understanding of what’s to life with autism. That the simple things like having a conversation with a friend can be very changeling for an autistic child. Naoki says that “For a long time I’ve been wondering why us people with autism can’t talk properly. I can never say what I really want to.
I will begin the class by informing my students of the objective of the day. Then I will begin the class by asking my students to fill out a KWL chart. The KWL chart will serve as the warm-up. After the students finish, I will ask them to share what they wrote on their paper. I will compile my student’s response and write them in the board. I will use what the student’s wrote on the paper to fix students misconceptions about measuring and to go on from there. Then I will ask them, why do they think it is important to learn how to measure? When can one measure things? (15
The aim of the essay is to critically discuss the pedagogical uses, and the implications for learning, of core domain (and some of non-core domain) knowledge and conceptions of aggregates in the teacher-learner exchanges aimed at the teaching and learning of the notion of halving evident in the video records of the two Grade 1
Planning as a whole is an essential aspect of teaching and is even more effective when it’s a process that is collaborative with your colleagues and pupils, therefore enhancing the effectiveness of your teaching (DCFS, 2011, Mawer, 1995). Schemes of work are a long term planning solution, which identify the learning opportunities across a whole school year (Gower, 2004). The framework is broad, so to go alongside the scheme of work, units of work are devised (Robinson & Smith, 1995). The scheme of work should be a broad balance of sporting opportunities for pupils to experience and participate in different activities.
In this experiment, we experimented finding the fundamental quantities of length, mass, and time using many laboratory tools. We used a Vernier caliper, stopwatch, rulerm meter stick, wooden block, metal block, Dial-o-gram, different masses, and circular objects. We took into consideration the uncertainties of many different tools and objects into our experiment. The inherent uncertainties of different measurements and ways to propagate those uncertainties were learned during this experiment.
Measurement is a significant area in the curriculum, as it can “make or break a child’s confidence in mathematics” (Kefaloukos & Bobis, 2011, p. 19). Therefore teachers play a crucial role in teaching this area of maths. Firstly, it is important to consider what skills children have with regard to measurement when they start school. This guides teachers with an appropriate level to begin. Secondly, teachers need to know some engaging ways to teach measurement. Teachers also need to know how to adjust their teaching when necessary to cater for a varied range of abilities.
