Year 1 Mathematics Lesson Plan 2

VEYLDF Learning Outcome: Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners: order number and count to 1000 by 10s and 100s;
Children can work with peers to develop a range of creative solutions and test them against given criteria

Outcome 5: Children are effective Communicators: Children can order money amounts in dollars and cents and carry out simple money
calculations.

Student Learning Aims (using Blooms Taxonomy and e5 pedagogy)

- To discuss what we have learned from the previous game.
- To describe how to make up a certain amount using coins only.
- To display the ability of working in a team and make up as many ways as they can.
- To create their own way to present the learning outcomes on a big piece of paper.
- To conclude what they have learned from this activity.
- To develop the ability to use the least coins to make the certain amount.

Cross Curriculum Priority: Art, Children will be able to display their answer in drawing or sketching.

*NOTE: In the previous class, students learnt about how to make up one dollar using different coins. They have made up one dollar using
certain number of coins.

- ENGAGE (stimulate interest and curiosity; elicit prior knowledge; connect to past learning experiences; develop shared expectations)

Activity Goal Time Grouping Focus Anticipated Problems
- A real life experience as a start: I went
to buy chocolate last night, I only had
coins with me. The chocolate was
5.95$, how can I pay for it?
To quickly check if
children can make up
a certain amount
using different coins.

Teacher to
class


Engage all students and
make students aware of
how last class and this
class will be connected.
- Mix 5$ note with
coins.

- EXPLORE (generate and investigate questions and develop ideas; identify conceptions and challenge misconceptions; present challenging
tasks)


- EXPLAIN & ELABORATE (assist students to represent their ideas; challenge students to create more possibilities).








Activity Goal Time Grouping Focus Anticipated Problems
Each group has its set amount, children
work as a team to put on as many ways
as possible to make up the amount by
using coins.
Then when time is up, rotate to the next
table.
Efficiently make up
the amount, and
create as many ways
as they can as a
group.

Activity Goal Time Grouping Focus Anticipated Problems
Students explain the work they have
made to the teacher, and the teacher
challenge them to create more
possibilities.
To test students level
of understanding of
making up a certain
amount.
To check if peers can
scaffold each others
learning.

activity.
Teacher to
class

The challenge: make a
certain amount using
different ways and using
the most efficient ways.
Some children might
need extra help to finish
and further the task.
- EVALUATE (provide assistance to students to finish their task; provide feedback to students with their achievements; support students to
reflect on learning process.

Students explain their work. Using the
same sheet to post-assess.
To achieve many
different ways to
make up the certain
amount.

students who are falling
behind
