Lesson 5 Things to Consider in Planning Instruction in Mathematics in the Primary Grades

INTRODUCTION

In Education, planning refers to the designing and preparation of learning activities for students.
In lesson planning, the teachers thoughtfully contemplate about the lesson objectives, the
activities that will meet these objectives, the sequence of these activities, the materials needed
how long each activity might take, how the class would be managed during the activities and
evaluation method to assess.

There are three important elements in lesson planning that you need to consider content,
objectives, students learning environment and availability of resources.

1. Content

Research the subject matter that you will be teaching you should consult the curriculum and
teaching guides published by DepEd. Aside from books. You can also visit website which will
give you information relevant to your subject area.

2. Objectives

Before you begin planning you need to know what specific knowledge and skills you want your
students to develop during the lesson or unit. Teachers often focus too much or knowledge
forgetting about developing skills which in the long term are more important than knowing mere
facts, So in planning your instruction, always consider both knowledge and skills.

3. Students

Get to know your students where they came from what their interests are what they already
know their learning style attention span special needs etc This will all help you determine your
student needs. Remember that need to prepare your lesson with all your students in mind and
that your main goal should be to meet their needs and offer them.

4. Learning Environment

Aside from physical environment where the learning takes place it is also important to consider
the social and emotional learning environment of the class.

5. Availability of Resources

Take into consideration the instructional materials that you will be needing before you write your
lesson

VI. Summary

Before writing a lesson, teachers are expected to thoughtfully contemplate on the objectives, review
the content, and get to know the learners. Doing these will help them plan a relevant and effective
lesson for the learners.

VII. Review Questions:

The next activity will delve into the experiences of math teachers and will give you insights on
effective lesson planning.

Interview three experienced primary grades (Grades 1, 2, or 3) mathematics teachers. Ask him/her the
following question: "If you were to give a piece of advice about lesson planning to your rookie teacher
self, what would it be?" What are common about their responses? Write them down below.

VIII. Assessments:

Answer the following questions to verbalize your understanding of the things to consider when
planning instruction in mathematics.

1. In addition to what has been discussed, explain why content, objectives, students, learning
environment, and availability of resources are the essential considerations in planning a lesson
