Study Notes
Objectives of Planning Instruction
- Aim to understand key considerations for effective mathematics instruction in primary grades.
Importance of Lesson Planning
- Involves designing and preparing learning activities for students.
- Considers lesson objectives, activities, sequence, materials, time management, and evaluation methods.
Key Elements of Lesson Planning
- Focus on five main elements: content, objectives, students, learning environment, and resources.
Content
- Research subject matter using curriculum and official teaching guides from DepEd.
- Consult additional resources, including books and reputable websites.
- Master content to avoid teaching inaccuracies; it’s vital to build a solid foundation of knowledge.
Objectives
- Define specific knowledge and skills intended for student development during lessons or units.
Understanding Students
- Gain insight into students’ backgrounds, interests, prior knowledge, learning styles, attention spans, and special needs.
- Adapt lesson plans to meet diverse needs and create enabling learning environments.
- Build rapport to encourage open communication and idea-sharing among students.
Student Mindset
- Address student mindsets, particularly in mathematics, to foster improved learning outcomes.
- Recognize the impact of fixed mindsets, where students believe math skills cannot improve, often due to negative influences or past experiences.
- Strive to cultivate growth mindsets, encouraging students to view challenges as opportunities for improvement.
- Studies show students with growth mindsets tend to perform better academically.
Learning Environment
- Consider both the physical and socio-emotional aspects of the classroom environment.
- Create a positive and supportive atmosphere where students feel safe to express their thoughts and ideas without fear of criticism.
Availability of Resources
- Assess required instructional materials before planning lessons.
- Consider availability of tools like blackboards and manipulatives; think about potential improvisation.
- Evaluate technology needs, ensuring compatibility with school resources and addressing any gaps in availability.
