Grade/Subject: 1 / Math Unit: Vegetable Unit (Graphing Vegetables) Lesson Duration: 45 min
OUTCOMES FROM ALBERTA PROGRAM OF STUDIES
General Learning Outcomes: Use patterns to describe the world and to solve problems
Specific Learning Outcomes: Sort objects, using one attribute, and explain the sorting rule
LEARNING OBJECTIVES Students will: 1. Learn to sort by length. 2. Graph vegetables names by length. ASSESSMENTS Observations: Students knowledge of length. Key Questions: Sorting by length.
Written/Performance Assessments: Worksheet for graphing vegetable names LEARNING RESOURCES CONSULTED Resource #1: Smart Notebook Activities Resource #2: Mathworks Book A MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT * Smart Notebook Activities * Graphing Vegetable Names Worksheet PROCEDURE Introduction (5 min.): Review: Ask what we learned last class. Do you remember? List vegetables on the board. Expectations for Learning and Behaviour: Students will engage and learn how to sort objects by length Transition to Body: Today we are going to learn to sort objects by length. - Ask students what length is? Write their answers on the board. - Explain to students what length is. Give real world examples (measure how long objects are in the classroom). - Now lets see who has the longest arms in the class. Body (35min.): Learning Activity #1: Sorting Students by Arm Length (write shortest and longest on board) - Call up 2 students and measure them with a ruler. Have students say who has longer and shorter arms. - Call up 3 students, measure them and have students raise their hand to answer who has longest and shorter arms. - Call up 5 students, measure them and have students answer who is shortest to longest. Organize them as a class. Learning Activity #2: Sort Vegetables by length on the smart board - Go over short and long vegetables. - Have students see short to long vegetables. - Have students drag and drop vegetables into shortest to longest - Now lets try counting letters in words.
Learning Activity #3: Sort Vegetable words by length
- Write words on the board. Ask students to raise their hand and guess which will be longest and shortest. - Have students count letters in vegetable words. - Then have students put the words into the graph from shortest to longest. - Go now you guys are going to do it on your own. Hand out worksheet
Closure (5 min.): Consolidation/Assessment of Learning: Have students do a worksheet about sorting vegetable names length. Review of Lesson: You guys did great sorting by length. - Ask students which vegetables had the longest and shortest names on the worksheet.
1 Transition To Next Lesson: Tomorrow we are going to look at another way to measure vegetables.
