Students do forge...You are absolutely right Ashley! Students do forget things that they have learnt some time ago and you did a great job of revisiting the topic. It is a great lesson where students understood the concept of perimeter and area well. All students were engaged, even the ones who are reluctant sometimes. Good teachers always plan their lessons in a way that will keep the enthusiasm of their students going.

Firstly getting...Ashley this is a fantastic lesson! Firstly getting your students to assess what they know beforehand is so important as it helps you as a teacher guide the lesson and it also helps the students to feel success when the understand a concept at the end of a lesson. I saw you measuring up the array and straight away knew it would be a success - when we take subjects that aren't usually 'physical/active' and make them into these types of activities the kids thrive. I think these types of physical lessons can be really fantastic for the 'lower' learners in your class as it is a way of engaging and involving them. You can see the students making active connections and problem solving "do we need one more person? No that won't be right!" - they are having to visualise the solution in real time. I think this could also be a great lesson for multiplication - using the array you could have the students in groups physically show you a times table. E.g. show me 2x3 or show me 12 and have the students model the different times tables and how to make 12 (hope that makes sense). <br />I am always envious of your lessons Ashley and how engaging they are for the students. This lesson looked amazing and it looks like very rich learning!<br />Nga Mihi!Miss Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918521345166332460noreply@blogger.com
