Context of the lesson
This lesson will be about numeracy. It is going to be taught for grade six.
Teaching goal
The overall aim of the lesson is to find the areas of different shapes.
Learning objectives
Students will be able to:
Identify the area of rectangle, square, triangle, and parallelogram.
Solve different questions about triangle and parallelogram areas.
Create a watch include the formula of shape`s area.
Assumptions about prior learning
Most of students have a knowledge about the area of rectangle and square.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
Some students may not remember the area of rectangle and square. So, the teacher will review with
them orally and do some examples.

Personal focus for this lesson

I will move around the class and I will use eye contact for everybody, to produce quiet
environment.

I will use clapping hands as a transition between the activities.

Target language

Teacher language

Area of rectangle, triangle, square, parallelogram.

"Good evening students, how are you today?

What do you already know about area?"

Main tasks or activities

Resources and teaching aids

1) Revise the area of square and rectangle.

The teacher will revise the previous knowledge
about the areas of rectangle and square. She will
draw them on the board and ask them orally.

Shapes
Pen
Mini board
Pupil book
Numeracy book
3 boxes
Worksheet

2) Use the board.

The teacher will write question on the board and the
students will use their board to solve it.

3) pupil book page 72-73.
Students will use their numeracy book to solve the
question on the pupil book page 72- 73.
4) I can ..? (Area).
Each group will have a box include many colorful
worksheets about the area of triangle and
parallelogram. The teacher will divide the class in
three groups. And the group who will answer the
most worksheet win.
5) Create a clock.
The teacher will provide for each student a paper.
And they have to create a watch include the areas
of each shape, square, triangle, rectangle, and
parallelogram.
Consider these grouping strategies:

First, the teacher will ask the

students about the area.
She will ask: "what do you already
know about area?"

1) Students will
responds the question
and say what is area.

To prepare the
students for the
lesson.

Second, the teacher will draw on

the board rectangle and ask about
it`s area. Then, she will draw square
and ask them about it`s area.

2) Students will
respond and say the
area.

Third, she will ask one student to

write the area of each shape and
determine the length and width.

3) Student will write

on the board the
length and width.

Fourth, she will present the

triangle and parallelogram shapes.
She will write the base and height
and base of each one. And she will
write the area of them on the board.

The teacher will distribute for the

students papers and they have to
create a watch from it. They have to
write the area of four shapes.
Which are triangle, square,
parallelogram, and rectangle.

solving areas.

Summary
I really liked this lesson because I did well however I did some mistakes. This the first time for me to teach
grade 6 the Numeracy.
First, I revised with them the previous lesson and revised the square and rectangle areas. I asked them to
use the mini board to write on it the formula. The students were excited and wrote the formula very fast.
Then, I explain the new formulas for them on the board. I asked them to repeat the names of areas which
are triangle and parallelogram. Then, I drew the both shapes on the board and asked them to draw them
on their books. I gave one example for both. Next time, I will give more than one example to make sure that
they understand the lesson. I did the examples and asked one student to come up and solve one equation.
I asked the other students "Is it right?" and they respond. In this part, I want from the students to feel
confidence that they know and also involved them to check their friend`s answer.
Then, I distributes for level 1 and 2 "I can ..?" activities. Which are solving a lot of problems in area for
different shapes including the new shapes. For level 3, I asked them to solve the problems on their guided
book. The students were very interesting to solve the problems. I was focusing on level 1 and 2. However, I
didnt look at level 3. And that was mistake from me. I have to follow all students without focusing on one
group only.
At the end, I check their answers and give the excellent group a reinforcement. The winner were group 1
(LA). Because they finish all of the equations very fast. After that, I distribute for them a cartoon papers to
create their own watch and write on it the 4 areas formula.
Suggestions

4
This lesson need more of time management.
This lesson is need more focusing on different level of groups.
This lesson is need more activities to make sure that students understand and be able to solve the
equations.
Personal Focus for next lesson
Next time, I will try to manage the time of the class.
Next time, I will follow all students work not only one group.
Next time, I will give several examples for the concepts.
Next time, I will do higher level activities for HA students.
