last week "numeracy lesson"

In the last week of my teaching practice the lessons were complicated and not fit deeply with the objectives as usual and that because of the theme of the week which was about the national day.

 

During the 1st whole while I was using the small activity about joining two groups and recognizing the numbers.

I did numeracy lesson about joining two groups of objects to show addition up to 7 and recognize the numbers from 1 to 10. I did small activity that match with the aim during the whole and it went very well and the students were participating and responding while the focus activity in the corner was not matching the aim because of the national day theme which we had to do activities about it. During the whole I had three groups on small cartoon board with the two signs which is plus and equal to show addition and to teach the students these two signs. I used small pictures of the UAE flag and small flash cards of numbers from 1 to 10. I asked the students to join the two groups of UAE flag and to put the numbers under the groups.

On the other hand, the focus activity that the students had is a template of the UAE map and they had to print the flag color on it. I tried to let the students to count while they were printing. It went well however it was hard to keep my eyes on all of the 4 students and see if they were counting or not. Because of that, next time I may ask the students after they finish printing how many red color or green color they had print on their map and have in front of them the numbers and they can point on the number that they print so we can match it with the second aim which is recognizing the numbers.

This is the focus activity that the students did. they were printing the color of the UAE flag on the UAE map.
