Subject: Math

Grade Level: Grade 1

Objective:
1. Students will able to identify and count numbers 1-10.
2. Students will able to identify basic shapes (circle, square, triangle).
3. Students will able to compare the sizes of two objects using terms like "bigger"
and "smaller".

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Counting and Number Recognition: This topic involves recognizing and writing
numbers 1-10 and builds foundational skills for future math concepts such as
addition and subtraction.
2. Geometry and Spatial Awareness: Identifying shapes helps students understand
their properties and relationships, which is critical in later math topics such as area
and perimeter.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Language Arts: Counting and identifying shapes can be integrated with
storytelling, where students count objects in a story or describe shapes found in
illustrations.
2. Art: Students can create art projects using various shapes and numbers,
reinforcing their understanding of these concepts through creative expression.

Review Motivation:
Teaching Strategy: Interactive/Integrated Learning
Instructional Materials: None needed for energizers.
Energizer 1: Shape Scavenger Hunt
Students will look around the classroom or play area to find objects that match
specific shapes (circle, square, triangle). They will describe the objects they find.
Energizer 2: Number Chant
Students will gather in a circle and chant numbers 110 together. Each time they say
a number, they will raise their hands to count together, fostering group participation
and movement.
Activities
Activity 1: Shape Sorting
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Materials: A variety of cut-out shapes (circles, squares, triangles) in different colors.
Significance: This activity reinforces shape recognition and encourages teamwork.

Instructions:
1. Divide the class into small groups and give each group a mixed set of shapes.
2. Ask each group to sort their shapes into categories based on type (circle, square,
triangle).
3. Each group will present their sorted shapes to the class, explaining their choices.

Rubrics:
- Participation in sorting: 5 pts.
- Accuracy of sorting: 5 pts.
- Clarity of presentation: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What shapes did you find in your group?
2. How did you decide to sort the shapes?
3. Can you name a real-world object that is shaped like a triangle?
Activity 2: Size Comparison Game
Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning
Materials: None
Significance: This activity helps students understand size comparisons in a fun and
engaging way.

Instructions:
1. Organize students into pairs and instruct them to find two objects near them (e.g.,
books, toys).
2. Each pair will compare the sizes of their two objects and decide which is bigger
and which is smaller.
3. Pairs will share their findings with the class, using the terms "bigger" and
"smaller."

Rubrics:
- Participation in finding objects: 5 pts.
- Correct use of terms (bigger/smaller): 5 pts.
- Clarity in explanation: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What two objects did you compare?
2. Which object was bigger?
3. How did you decide which was smaller?

Analysis:
Activity 1 - The Shape Sorting activity allows students to collaborate, fostering
communication and teamwork while reinforcing their understanding of geometric
shapes. The clarity in their presentations demonstrates their grasp of shape
recognition.
Activity 2 - The Size Comparison Game encourages students to engage with their
environment, applying mathematical vocabulary in real-life contexts, which solidifies
their understanding of size comparisons.

Abstraction:
The main objective of this lesson is to enhance students' foundational math skills
through interactive and hands-on learning experiences. Understanding numbers,
shapes, and size comparisons lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical
concepts. Students can recognize patterns in shapes and numbers, which will aid in
their future mathematical learning.

Application:
Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning
1. Task: Create a shape collage using various materials (e.g., paper, fabric) to
represent different shapes and label them with numbers 1-10.
2. Task: Conduct a "Bigger or Smaller" survey where students ask classmates about
two items they own and determine which is larger or smaller, documenting their
findings.
Discussion: Students will discuss how they used their math skills in real-life
scenarios, such as identifying shapes in their homes or comparing sizes of their toys.

Assessment:
Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Questions:
1. Can you name all the shapes we learned today?
2. How do we know which number comes next when counting?
3. Why is it important to know the terms "bigger" and "smaller"?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. If you had to create a new shape, what would it look like?
2. How can you use shapes to create a house?
3. Explain why knowing numbers is important in everyday life.

Answers:
1. A new shape could have different angles and sides, leading to discussions on
geometry.
2. Shapes can be combined to form a structure, introducing concepts of area and
perimeter.
3. Numbers are essential for counting, measuring, and budgeting, which are crucial
in daily activities.

Assignment:
1. Students will take home a drawing of their favorite object and label the shapes
they see in it, as well as count any numbers associated with it (like buttons, wheels,
etc.).
