Developing a Lesson or activity Plan

Why lesson plan?

To enable the teacher to identify their aims for the lesson To give the teacher opportunity to predict possible problems and consider solutions To make sure the lesson is balanced and appropriate for the class To ensure teachers follow best practice and show professionalism So why do we lesson plan?

Why incorporate ICT into lesson plans?

Because the future is here! Because pupils enjoy it Because it helps develop teaching skills Because it saves time and energy (honest!) So why incorporate ICT into lessons and lesson plans?

9. Learning Activity Introduction The teacher demonstrates number position and counting using Numberstick. Numbers are then hidden and the children identify the missing numbers. Main Activity The children carry out an individual activity on a worksheet. Plenary The children will play ‘Order the Numbers’ using the Interactive Whiteboard, taking it in turns. The games will get progressively harder to cater for the ability range of children. Activity Plan (continued)

10. Learning Outcomes Children can count everyday objects up to 10 and add / subtract one from any number in the range 1 to 10 (will also assess the linked goals of recognising words and working in groups).

Activity Plan (continued) 10. Learning Outcomes Children can count everyday objects up to 10 and add / subtract one from any number in the range 1 to 10 (will also assess the linked goals of recognising words and working in groups). 11. SEN / Differentiation More Able –Could count up to 20, add 2 more etc. Less Able – Could reduce the number range (1 to 5), don’t use written words – use numbers only. SEN – touch screens and Intellikeyboard with large number overlay.
