Final Mini-Lesson Plan

LESSON PLAN: Flower Math


OBJECTIVE: 

The objective of this lesson is for students to demonstrate and enhance their studio skills through an activity aimed at developing an understanding of numbers and number lines.


GRADE LEVEL: Kindergarten


DOMAIN: Volume III, Visual Arts


COMPONENT: Studio Skills


OBJECTIVES:

  • -  Draws and paints on large papers with large brushes, crayons, pencils, and magic markers (VA.A.1.1.2)

  • -  Combines shapes by cutting and pasting two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional works (VA.A.1.1.2)

  • -  Demonstrates self-direction and originality in visual expression (VA.A.1.1.3)  

    COMPETENCY:

- The student can develop:

  • -  Fine and gross motor skills through the manipulation of materials (VA.A.1.1.2)

  • -  Understanding of the properties of materials through the production of works of art (VA.A.1.1.3)

    ACTIVITY: 

    Making flowers with petals corresponding to the student’s choice of a number between 1 and 10

- Materials needed:

  • -  Large sheet of paper

  • -  Flower handout

  • -  Numberline handout

  • -  Scissors

  • -  Colored pencils/crayons

  • -  Glue

  • -  Markers

    - Procedure:

  • -  1. Introduce the idea of a number line

    • -  Ask students their previous knowledge of it

    • -  Show an image of a number line and briefly explain its purpose

    • -  Play a quick video on how the number line can be used for understanding

      addition and subtraction

    • -  Explain why it is important/helpful to use when first learning these skills

  • -  2. Introduce the activity

- Explain that the students will be creating a “math flower” by using the

number line to create a piece of art

- 3. Complete the activity
- Instruct the students to pick their favorite color and number between 1 and

10

  • -  Ask the students to keep them engaged: can someone tell me their

    favorite color or what their favorite number is?

  • -  Remind them that it might be easier to pick a higher number so

    you can do addition and subtraction problems

- Ask them for examples of addition and subtraction

problems

  • -  Tell students to collect their supplies

  • -  Instruct students on how to construct their flower using mine as an

    example

    • -  Put your favorite number in the middle of the flower

    • -  Write THREE addition or subtraction problems that equal your

      number on the petals

    • -  Write out your number on another petal

    • -  Make tally marks that are equal to the number

    • -  On the last petal, draw the number of objects as the number on

      your flower

    • -  Decorate your flower, cut it out and glue it onto a blank sheet of

      paper

- 4. If extra time is permitted, instruct students to get creative and decorate the

background of their flower

ASSESSMENT: 

Students will be assessed on their safe, proper handling of materials, and final product of the math flower. The flower will be assessed by how well students handled scissors, colored, and used glue. Additionally, the students will be assessed on their creativity in choosing objects, colors, and any additional decoration on the background of the flower.

 

STUDENTS' FEEDBACK

 

Jason Inerarity

Mini-Lessons

I think that Jerry was very creative with his lesson and how he incorporated nature, like the leaf to explain its structure. The activity was very well explained and it was very clear.


Moira’s lesson was really cute and introduced mathematical concepts in a concise way for younger audiences.


Xiaoyi’s lesson was by far super informative. The images and the video she used were very successful in helping her with the lesson. The activity she used went very well with her lesson.

 

 Video

Eddy brought up a good point in the video about how the priorities in education have changed. The values are now placed on getting diplomas and attending college. This idea has grown students to ignore certain subjects that will not favor this goal that they are encouraged to pursue from a young age. Education is becoming more general and is overlooking the specific needs of each individual child.

   Part I   WARM UP   Activity 1 Class begins with music and warm up. Students are invited to get on their feet, get away from their desks and follow the professor's muscle groups - isolation warm up.  In previous classes, we added conscious breathing at the end of the warm up,  self-affirmations,  meditation and mindfulness . Today, we are adding some guided relaxation techniques.   Question 1   Did you like it? Why? Post your answer on Discussion Board. ---------------------- Part II    INTRO TO THEORETIC FOUNDATIONS      It is important that students have a theoretic foundation when creating their own teaching methodology.
