LESSON ORGANISATION
Year Level: PP/1 Students Prior Knowledge:
Time: - - Number stand
Date: - - Arranging randomised numbers from 1 to 10+ in order
- Adding and subtracting numbers on the number line

Learning Area:
Mathematics

competence
Cross-curriculum priorities (may be addressed in the lesson)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Asia and Australias engagement with Asia Sustainability
histories and cultures
Proficiencies:(Mathematics only) Understanding
Lesson Objectives (i.e. anticipated outcomes of this lesson, in point form beginning with an action verb)

As a result of this lesson, students will be able to:

Independently order numbers according to the number line up to 10 or more
Count objects to achieve a total amount
Create visual representations of the number order
Teachers Prior Preparation/Organisation:
Create worksheet featuring the trees and leaves
theme of the previous lesson activity
Have the original resources from the previous
lesson at the front of the class to remind students
of the lesson and the connection
Provision for students at educational risk:
Create worksheet to cater for all learning
abilities so that those who struggle do not feel
left behind and those excelling do not feel
board
More pictures than words will help ESL
students
Keep ADHD/ADD students on task by getting
them to help another student

LESSON EVALUATION (to be completed AFTER the lesson)

Teacher self-reflection and self-evaluation:

[OFFICIAL USE ONLY] Comments by classroom teacher, HOPP, supervisor:

LESSON DELIVERY (attach worksheets, examples, marking key, etc, as relevant)

Resources/References
Time Motivation and Introduction:
Align these with the segment
- Place tree brand and leaves resource from previous lesson in a spot where they will be introduced.
where all students are able to see it
- Ask class what they used this for last time they saw it (use prompts if
necessary)
- Explain that in this lesson they are going to make their own trees and
leaves by using their amazing counting skills
- Ask the class helper to pass around the worksheets

Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & Key Questions):

- Students are given a work sheet each which has an image of a large tree
and multiple branches.
- Children will count the leaves on each branch and write the amount in a
box at the end of the branch
- Once this is complete, children are asked to write the numbers in order
along a number line
- The students will now turn this number line into a tree branch, drawing
the branch themselves.
- As an extension, students can attempt to count all the leaves on the tree,
writing the answer at the base of the tree

Lesson Closure:(Review lesson objectives with students)

- Bring the attention of the class back to the front of the room
- Check class understanding by asking a child to give their answer for a
particular branch and how they worked it out
- Ask who was able to do the extension and what their answer was
- Check understanding of the whole class by arranging the leaves on the
branch at the front of the class and asking everyone the answer. If they
are struggling support them by counting each leaf individually

Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be

judged?)
Students will be assessed by their class participation as well as marking
their worksheets after the lesson is complete
