Lesson Math – Numbers 61-70 Student Mahra Al Qassimi
unit/page teacher
MST Ms. Roopa Ganatra School Sharjah International Private School
- Addition up to 15.
My Math lesson took place in Sharjah International Private School in Ms. Roopa’s KG2B
classroom. My overall aim of the lesson was to have the students recognize and identify
numbers up to 70 and be able to add numbers up to 15. I began the lesson by asking a few
students to come up and solve an equation of Addition up to 15. I would use the strategy that
Ms. Roopa taught them when counting, they begin by spotting the bigger number and keeping it
in their mind, then find the smaller number and lift their fingers and count forward from the
number that they have in their mind and they will get the total of the equation.
Then I put up numbers 61-70 on the board and with every number we would spelling it out as a
whole class. Each table will then receive whiteboards and will write down the number name
“sixty”. After the introduction, I handed out flashcards of numbers between 61-70 and asked
students to work together to order the numbers from least to greatest. For the independent
activity, I prepared a skip counting puzzle that required the students to put the numbers in order
and write the missing numbers. I handed out 6 zip lock bags that consisted different puzzles for
decided that instead of having them fill only 1 missing number I had them do 3. Some students
were able to order the numbers independently without my help, whereas others hesitated and
spent a lot of time on it. Despite the students being high-levelled, they would have to work on
similar activities at least a couple of time before finally grasping the concept. Ms. Roopa
informed me that they had a hard time because they were not used to these types of activities. I
believe that I engaged the students during the introduction more than the independent activity. I
realized that the students enjoy being grouped with one another and working towards one goal
rather than working independently. In addition, I asked them HOTS questions like: “How do
you know that 62 is less than 65?” and “How did you get that answer?” giving the students an
opportunity to stop and think deeply before answering either a directed or whole class question.
To be frank, my lesson didn’t completely meet my teaching goals due to time-management. During the
last couple of weeks that we spent at Sharjah International Private School, they held events such as Health
Day and Sports day, the Ministry of Education paid us a visit, as well as changing their schedule. On the
day that I taught this lesson I found out that I won’t only be teaching the last period but also the schedule
has changed and the class was 35 minutes long. I prepared an activity where I would have each table
work on spotting the number 60 in the picture and ask them to finger paint on the number.
A few ways that I could enhance this lesson in the future is by making it a group work instead of
individual, begin by working on the hands-on activities, have more puzzle games and paint used in the
classroom. Time management is a very important skill to have as a teacher. Without it, you won’t be
able to finish that daily to-do list that you had planned. Time-management is essential because it helps
you keep your priorities straightened out, you would know which task is more important than the other
